First, I want to thank all of you for your continued prayers, calls, and cards. Barry, the children and I all appreciate the continuous spiritual support that each of you has given us.
It is a very difficult time right now for Barry because he so desperately wants life to be "back to normal" but he is so incredibly exhausted from his treatments that he only has short bursts of energy. His love of physical fitness is only causing him distress right now because in his heart, he wants to be in the gym, but his body wont allow that type of exertion. The good news is that he continues to progress. The time when he is up is a little longer each day and his head is clearer and his mind is sharper.
Brant and his friends have found a dirt trail that feeds off the creek-lined paved trail that runs near our home. He and his friends love going to this area and jumping the hills and simply hanging out doing what boys do. The "jumps" as they call this area is rather harsh on bicycle tires. Barry and Brant worked together yesterday afternoon to change his back tire. It really brightened Barry's day to be able to work with his son. He always tells me that he sees so much of himself in Brant, especially his curiosity for how things work.
Please continue to pray for Barry's strength to return, his vision to improve and most importantly for full remission. We love you all!
