Rounding the Final Turn... Heading Down the Back Stretch

One more treatment down, only one more (of the Taxol!) to go... hard to believe we are sprinting down the final straightaway! Michelle once again handled the treatment well with no complications and, as of last night, no apparent side-effects. She was still sleeping when I left this morning so I can't speak for today but, if these past few weeks are any indication, she should be doing pretty well. She definitely has become more fatigued over the last two weeks but she also has not changed her routine (apart from home schooling having come to and end for the summer!) and has added to it packing up all our "stuff". I look at all that needs to be packed and think to myself, "Where did all this stuff come from?!" I mean, we have less than most I think, but I wonder at times if we can get everything packed by the time the movers show up!

Thank you all for praying about finding an Oncologist; we have located one! She sounds like a wonderful woman and it's always good to hear someone who works with your doctor say, "I would put my life in her hands!" So, Michelle's first appointment with her new Oncologist is on July 12th at 9:00am...

On the house front, things continue to move forward though today is a big day on the new home front. We got the report back from the home inspection and there are some things we are kicking-back at the sellers to fix prior to closing escrow. For some reason I have a foreboding feeling about it because I'm not sure how they will react; I know they think they brought their best offer to the table so they may be unwilling to "lose" anymore money. On our side, unless they are willing to do the repairs, none of which are out of line nor unexpected in a 7 year old home, we will not be purchasing it. So, you can pray for that! As far as the condo here, no indication anything is amiss and all should close on-time...

Pray for all the details that need to be worked out when a family moves long-distance; such as, how do we get our second vehicle out there without Michelle having to drive one, forwarding of mail, address changes on bills, etc. It's never-ending and we feel like we just did this... oh, wait, we did just two and a half years ago!

Enough for now... to work! Have a blessed day and remember, Jesus loves you and so do we! - Steve and Michelle -
