Hello and Happy "Holy" Days:
Trudy and I would like to wish each of you a Merry Christmas and a Grace filled 2008. We know that each year will have a unique stamp upon it, but . . . we sure had no idea what 2007 had in store. However, as trying as 2007 has been, the Lord was with us every step of every moment. We can only rejoice in His help and approach 2008 with renewed confidence in His Grace.
Trudy is feeling well. Her cold is almost completely gone. This is the first week (mega-dose prednisone for 5 days) of her sixth month of Maintenance and again we have an encouraging report. The first five of the "Prednisone" weeks resulted in really yucky Saturdays. This time, she has made it through Saturday feeling much less of the soreness she had come to associate with coming off a week of prednisone. Another thanksgiving note, Trudy no longer has to go to labs twice a week and already she is utilizing that time for much more pleasant activities.
Please pray that she will continue to feel well and that the Leukemia will stay away.
Merry Christmas Blessings,
Trudy and Robert
