Update

Harold is much much better today. There is no residual imparement to his right side. He was up the whole morning, talking clearly and moving well. We will go home tomorrow. The next stage of the plan is to get a PET scan on Wednesday to see if the cancer has spread anywhere else. We have rescheduled the Gamma knife surgery for a week from Monday. Still some things to work out on that. 

Again, thank you all for your continued faith and prayers. We recognize that our current challenge is not unique. It is a time of trial for everyone. But it is also a time of joy. Sometimes trials make the joys more sweet - like the joy of family and friends who sustain us by their love and faith. We are humbled.

  5. We just learned about this blog and consider it a generous gift. We have been praying for Harold and all your family since we first heard of his condition. We join our faith with yours that the Lord's purposes may be fulfilled in your lives, and may you experience His tender mercy. Dave and Chris Easton

  7. Almost exactly two decades ago we, too, learned the joy and tender mercies of the Lord in what we would have assumed would have been a horrific situation. Looking back, it was one of the most splendid times of our lives, one we look back upon with genuine fondness (not that we want to repeat it!).

    You continue in our thoughts and prayers.
