We have great news! The bone marrow biopsy results were negative. The lymphoma did not spread to Darrell's bone marrow. God is so faithful!

The report did reveal a long-standing anemia for which Darrell is now taking iron. That should make him feel a little better, we hope.

Last week was the best week since the chemo began. Darrell seemed to gain a little more strength each day. The bad part for his, though, was some significant thinning of his hair, including his facial hair!

This past Thursday was his second chemotherapy treatment. It's already knocked him down a little. Weakness, sky-high blood sugar counts and a low-grade fever are the main symptoms right now.

We haven't seen our granddaughters this week, so we didn't have any cute pictures to publish. Instead, we thought we'd try to take a picture of ourselves. Below is our feeble attempt!

We look really happy, don't we? Actually we're concentrating on trying to get both of us in the photo!

Darrell wanted to make sure his shirt got in the picture!!

Thank you so much for your love, prayers and concern. Your thoughtfulness towards us means more than we can tell you.
