Better safe than repeating this summer again in 5 years. That was our decision after meeting with Dr. Bush- the radiation oncologist. The good news is that the treatments will only be 3 weeks in duration and won’t start until the middle of September. This allows Sara 3 weeks of energy regaining time before the radiation starts and it seems that the radiation treatments will cause a fraction of the side effects that the chemotherapy did. So, for the next three weeks, we enjoy - no doctor’s appointments, prodding, poking, sticking etc. Sara’s looking forward to this!
Emrys spent last week battling a cold, and also getting some rest and relaxation, although a little less than originally planned. He preached at Community Presbyterian Church in Lake City, CO on Sunday. Lake City is a warm community and it looks as if he may be filling their pulpit through the middle of December. (Yup, that’s right- moving again!)
It’s with sadness that we share that we found out that Emrys’s dad, George Tyler, passed away on Saturday. So this week will bring some zig-zagging around the country to make it to PA for memorial services and back to the Midwest for the Wheat family reunion. Please keep Emrys’ family in your prayers as they mourn this sudden and unexpected loss and for us as we travel that our health will be sustained and protected. (Sara’s been given the OK by her doc to fly but we all know about airplanes and germs etc!)
