First vacation in years -Kathryn is tolerating it well!!

on August 16, 2013

Hi Everyone,

Thoughts of you, our Caring Ally, press on my heart today as I pray for you. I just wanted to send my love and as always, our thanks for your much-needed prayers and love.

The following was part of an online daily devotion that I’ve come to depend on. Click here to find it.

“No king is saved by the size of his army; no warrior escapes by his great strength. A horse is a vain hope for deliverance; despite all its great strength it cannot save. But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love, to deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine.”  Psalm 33

Today, my prayer for you is that God is your refuge and strength! Psalm 46

Kathryn’s function is still better than it was before Ketamine. Her pain has returned and it seemed that we were losing ground fast and doctors were not ready to try more Ketamine. But we are trying a few alternative treatments (more later), and we see some promise of help in them.

We found a good deal on a condo a few miles from Sunset Beach, NC and we are vacationing there now. Joe had interviews so could only be with us for a short time, but Kathryn is able to be here (first vacation travel that she has been able to tolerate in years!!) and we are finding fun things to do despite rainy weather.
