Update # 23 on Jewel

What a blessing for our family to sit around the Thanksgiving dinner table. We continued our annual tradition of sharing our individual thanksgiving lists. This year our lists seemed to be longer than usual. It’s amazing how a health crisis can bring life into sharp focus.

Our Thanksgiving dinner was great. Some great folks from our Church lovingly provided the entire meal. It had to be the easiest turkey I’ve ever prepared.

Jewel gets stronger every day. Yesterday, Jewel took her longest walk yet since she became ill. While our little jaunt was only the length of few houses it is great to see her recovering well from the surgery.

We are now looking forward to some visits from Jewel’s family. Her dad and sister will come for a visit later in the month. Then in November, her wonderful Aunt Jean will come from Pennsylvania while I make my first overseas trip to Korea.

We continue to take the advice of many and take one day at a time. This Wednesday, we will go to the Cancer Clinic for a series of tests and discussions about Jewel’s treatment. Then on Friday we are hoping for her first chemotherapy.

We appreciate your continued prayers.

Yours on the Journey,

Geoff
