The week-end brought many people together including workmates, family members, neighbors, and church members as we enjoyed the beautiful day together. It was a blast to be together. Jenny's brother was also able to arrange a lay-over in Charlotte for a couple of days on his way back to PA from a business trip in TX. It was wonderful for them to be able to spend time together.
Getting everyone together also allowed us to have some really good discussion about the treatments approach that Jenny has been following and the best direction to go from here. Based on discussions with family, friends that are in frequent contact with Jenny, and our oncologist, Jenny has determined that the benefits of the current treatments no longer outweighed the time, energy, and side effects, so we are not going to continue the infusions and chemo any longer.
Please continue to pray for us, for strength and peace for Jenny, and wisdom for the all of use, and we continue along this journey. We had a wonderful encouragement from the pulpit on Sunday from Psalm 78, where we were reminded that we should "...put our trust in God and would not forget his deeds but would keep his commands."
Even now, we do not forget God's deed of grace and mercy which has be showered upon us, so we keep his command to trust in his goodness and kindness towards us.
