I woke up praying/worried about Heidi's pending labwork and my cystoscopy next Monday. I felt led to kayak w/camera out into the nearby Inlet. Singing praises all the way, mists swirled around me. As I reached the Inlet, God treated me to one of the most beautiful sunrises I have ever seen..]]>
After an hour of prayer and tears, we headed for a waterside picnic and a spectacular kayak trip into the Inlet, majestic Mount Rainier in the distance, singing duets as we paddled..]]>
This photo was taken/sent to me by an amazing NAPP artist and photographer called "PlainsEagle" (Sid), symbolizing light after the storms and darkness of life. I am amazed this morning, thinking of how many individuals have reached out to us this past year - in addition to family, local friends, our church, a neighboring church, we have been blessed with so much support from individuals on FaceBook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Winds Of Change, LiveStrong and the National Association Of Photoshop Professionals.]]>

Scary chart, but hopefully the slight change in slope means the new chemo is kicking in, as it did May 2008]]>

Grabbing a bite at the BluWater Bistro, between Heidi's labwork and Oncologist appt..where we got GREAT NEWS - new chemo slowing down cancer growth, finally! ..I am so proud of her!]]>
Julian Bucknall, CTO of Developer Express again demonstrated what a big heart his company has for people, when he flabbergasted us with this incredible flower bouquet for Heidi, from the DevEx Team! I had kind of lost it on Twitter last night regard...ing Heidi's chemo side effects and the flowers arrived today! THANKS JULIAN & TEAM!!]]>
We've started asking for the first names of others battling cancer so we can enter them in SCCA's chapel prayer diary - over 80 names sent to us the first week!]]>
Words fail, in thanking the amazing staff at SCCA and ao many that have prayed for Heidi on FaceBook, LinkedIn, Twitter and via email!!]]>
