9/24/2009 This is an off week for chemo and Pam has taken full advantage of increased energy and activities. Pam and our daughters Beverly and Tammy hosted a 40th birthday party for our daughter Diane on the 21st. She sang with the community singers on Monday and the church choir on Wednesday. Pam is looking forward to leading the sanctuary choir on Sunday and optimistic that she will have the necessary stamina to direct. She still experiences frequent episodes of chemo effects varying from feeling hot and cold, numb feet, cold toes, and abdominal discomfort. Fortunately, she has learned to minimize those effects.

Pam is most thankful she is still able to be active in church activities, being a part of the lives of our children and grandchildren, and renewing acquaintances from years past. Your prayers and support have sustained Pam and me.
