Update # 27 on Jewel

It has been a couple of days since my last update.

We have been monitoring the response to the Chemo that Jewel received on Saturday. While there have been no major adverse reactions to the treatment, Jewel has had several issues to deal with.

On Sunday, Jewel developed a major migraine. The Cancer Clinic recommended a trip to the ER in our local hospital. Because the doctor in the Cancer Clinic called ahead to the ER, Jewel was immediately taken in for an evaluation and given medication for the pain. A CT scan was ordered for some further evaluation. (We are now awaiting the results of that test.)Also, Jewel seems to have developed some sort of infection from the surgery. Once again the medical team responded quickly to this situation.

We continue to be impressed with the pro-activity and care being provided by all the medical professionals assisting Jewel.

It is good to have our close friend Joan come and stay with us again for a few days. She has been really busy in the kitchen taking care of the canning fruit that Jewel was not able to get to.

We are grateful Natasha is recovering well from her Bronchitis. It is good to see her getting active again.

For me, I am trying to respond to urgent ministry issues as well as prepare for our upcoming international leadership meetings in Korea next month.

Yours on the Journey,

Geoff
