Update #15


Dear family and friends,

We are so thankful to let you know as of Monday that Rob is discharged out of hospital! After both his chest tubes came out the only issue left was for him to gain enough strength to be home. We decided to test-drive it first, so Rob got out on a day pass both this past Saturday and Sunday and things went so well that he got discharged on Monday! After 76 days of being in hospital since his last time out the hospital, without even so much a whiff of our fresh Manitoban winter air, this was quite a welcome blessing.

His next chemo treatment  is scheduled for next week wednesday. This will be a 2 night stay in the hospital and will be #5 of this treatment. We are so thankful for how things have progressed and that we can be at this point in our journey. We are enjoying our time with Rob's parents in their home; while for now we have no plans, we look forward to the possibility of going to our home in Carman in the future.

We thank our God for the wonderful progress with Robs health and we continue to look to Him for a blessing yet on Rob and pray that his body may keep responding to the chemo and he may regain more strength. Thank you all who continue to remember him in prayer, we appreciate that more than you can know.

 Psalm 136: 1-3

1  Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good.    His love endures forever.2  Give thanks to the God of gods.    His love endures forever.3  Give thanks to the Lord of lords:    His love endures forever.

    So awesome to know that our Heavenly Father is in control and we see once again one of His miracles!!! I would like to share a poem with you written by Rosemary J. Tivey.
    Oft' times perplexed and puzzled
    yet we can calmly rest,
    What God's love has appointed
    is for the very best.
    And though at times we wonder
    why He should lead us so,
    Assurance He is with us
    is all we need to know.
    His presence is the ointment
    that soothes the weary brow.
    His arms of love the shelter
    outstretched for us right now.

    "Jesus answered...."What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter." John 13:7

    We keep you all in our daily prayers.
