EASTER

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead...


I Peter 1:3

GOOD FRIDAY

Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering,

yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted.

But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities;

the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.


Isaiah 53:4-5

20th Treatment at the Block Center

Not only did we have a very short trip to Chicago, this will probably be my shortest blog. To begin with, the original date for treatment was Tuesday, March 5th, due to 10.5 inches of snow we decided to reschedule and went on a sunny Friday. What a difference!

Cathy met with Dr. Udhrian. Vital signs and blood work all continue to be within acceptable ranges. He reviewed the recent echocardiogram and bone scan - everything looks good! Cathy, with all her wit and humor set upon this new, unsuspecting doctor with a hilarious question. Then she laughed herself speechless. I'm sure he will be more "wary" next time.

We had such a good trip, how can that even be possible with stage IV cancer? Of course we know the answer, God provides! I want to thank Cathy and Suzanne for such an enjoyable day.

Gratefully,
Lori

She's beautiful!
7.72 lb., 20" long, a good head of dark hair

Guess I've lost my touch, however, because when I passed her off to Grandpa she immediately stopped fussing and stared at him. Of course, when he handed her back, she commenced her fussing.  :(
