Praise God from Whom all blessings flow!

It's done. Mom and Dad should be on their way home from Seattle as I am writing this.
The long and horrible road of chemotherapy is finally over and she has fought so hard during these last 6 treatments. But God is so good and so faithful to bring comfort, love, rest, peace and priceless friends and family to love on them.

Mom is completely wiped out. She is having a difficult time walking just a few feet before being completely replete of all energy. She is SO looking forward to her own shower and her own bed.
(As is Dad)

The next 10-14 days are long ones and full of feeling so weak that she can sometimes barely lift her arms to take a drink of tea. It will get better, it's just part of the aftermath of being, well, poisoned.

Please pray for them to be able to relax at home, sleep well, and recuperate with no nausea, mouth sores, or pain.

We again want to thank you for your love and support. It has made an unbearable journey full of blessings and unexpected treasures in you, their friends and family.

May God bless you for your kind words, cards of encouragement, calls, meals, Mommasitting, and your presence that brings joy and peace in times of trouble.

Over and over Mom has said she has the best friends in the world. She is right. You are all a blessing not just to Mom and Dad, but to us; her kids and grandkids as well.

We are forever grateful.

In His Love,
Kimberly and family
