Well Peg has finished most of the additional tests, the CT Scan, Ocreotide Scan, and blood work. She will be doing a bone scan in about a week. On Monday, she starts the chemo treatments. It will be Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday next week, that she will receive treatments. That will be it for the month. She will receive various injections of other drugs to combat the side effects and to keep her white blood cell counts up. We are hopeful that all the blood and additional scan, will not show any changes, that everything is still clean & clear in her body. We have a friend who has been through this an has had very little side effects in the process, so we are praying like she has, that these would be very minimal.
Many have already been helping with the kids, and wherever needed. Many more have offered to help in the days to come. We are very blessed to have such a huge, family of believers around us. This has been very difficult, emotionally draining and hard to comprehend. You tend to ask God a lot of questions. It either is going to drive you away from God or towards Him. Although it is not always easy, God has strengthened our relationship as a couple and a family, and strengthened our relationship with Him.
Sometimes you feel numb to other things around you, to the cares and concerns of others, to the job, the ministry, the goals and dreams. You wonder about the future, dreams, trips, plans, but if we aren't careful, we will get too inward focused and forget that we are here on this earth to serve Him, not ourselves. We are here to touch the lives of others, so they can come to the saving knowledge of Him.
And so, the journey continues.

What a gorgeous picture of both of you. I can feel your love for each. Keep the faith, trust in God and his plans for your family. You are all in my prayers and in my heart always. Peg, I am available for private nursing anytime. Love you, Donna
Awesome picture! God is in control, and your faith in Him will be rewarded. I'll be keeping Peggy especially, as well as the Haeussler and Wolf families in my prayers as this new phase of the journey begins. I pray for the treatments to be what they need to be, and minimal discomfort for you, Peg. Larry, I pray for restful nights and peace for you too. Tons of love and prayers from Illinois! Love, Ann
Dang, Peg, you look like a hot Colonia Chica in that picture. Of course I also appreciate Larry's facial hair. Hi Ann Simonson.
Sorry, that last comment was from the Selma nortena Jamie Harris.
