So in January my mom found out her cancer had come back. She also had some severe back pain so the docs were afraid it had spread. After numerous tests they found a compression fracture in her spine. As they repaired it they biopsied the area and found that there was cancer in that compressed vertebrae. They were able to repair the vertebrae and administer a strong and concentrated dose of radiation to that portion of her spine. She continues to have back pain but does go to work a few hours here and there. She is currently pretty weak and taking it easy. The chemo combined with the radiation combined with working a few days last week wiped her out. This is a picture of her with the kids when we visited in March. If you know her at all you can tell she has lost quite a bit of weight. It is mainly due to not wanting to eat because of the back pain. She has not had much sickness associated with the chemo but she has little desire for food. Prayers for strength and healing are coveted.

We have CC here and I've heard lots of good things about it. While we aren't doing CC, we are educating our children thru the classical model. And all I can say is ohmygoodness.... I wish I had known all this when I was their age! The education and christian worldview is amazing. And all they are learning> wow! Glad to hear you are all enjoying where you are!
