home sweet home

don got out of the hospital on 12/11 -- just in time to see the grandgirls in their performance of a christmas carol at APU. he expressed to the docs how important it was for him to be there, and after assessment, they let him go home after a week's stay in the hospital.

thank you for your prayers. he has started up chemo again and radiation too. he'll be having radiation until Christmas eve... [merry Christmas to you, donald! hehe]

anyway, he still has a bit of a cough and finished up his antibiotics today.

oh! on a kind of fun note, don's son gregg and his wife cindy came over for a visit and brought him a yummy homemade carrot cake filled with pineapple, raisins and all the yummies... it was delish. that was their Christmas present to dad... that and a pleasantly lengthy 4 hour visit :)

pray for a restful holiday time with family as we all are dealing with events of the past year and that God is clearly made known to those around us, in us and through us. have a wonderful holiday season!

Don and Rachel, Sorry to hear that you've been in the hospital, but glad that you made it home to see your precious grandaughters in a "Christmas Carol." We think of you often and pray God's blessing and strength as you continue in your battle. We are looking forward to Hiedi's visit out here in TN. We are so hoping that we have a little snow for them. :) Wish you both could come with them!! Hope you had a blessed Christmas.

All our love and prayers,
Brian and Deena
