We spoke with Dr. Wong the other day. It sounds like chemo will begin on September 3. The chemo drugs will be like last summer with the addition of the drug dexoroxane. This is a heart protectant that will increase nausea and vomiting. The adriamyacin has already permanently weakened Ramona's heart (although it is still in the 'normal' range) and Dr. Wong is not going to take the chance that it could be damaged more.....so all the preparation begins...we are heading back to Winnipeg for a Friday 8:15 a.m. appointment to put Ramona's PICC line in....
When I'm not so lazy, I'll post some pictures of us painting our house...

Oh moni,

I wonder if your heart is filled with dread beginning this whole process again. Somehow, I hope and pray that you can again experience a hope and the presence of Jesus that takes you beyond the ugly reality of tubes and hospital rooms and the memories of your last chemo hardships.

Hey guys!

It was great to see you at camp when we came out to visit from BC.
I'm sure this whole thing about doing Chemo again must seem like a such a drag, but I also know that God is with you. Your in our thoughts and prayers.
"Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us".
May we be confident in who God is and believe that He can do the impossible! May His will be done as we come boldly before Him!

Love ya!
Aunt Jeannette and for Jake

hey you guys we're still prayin' for you. We love ya lots'. God still provides miricles even when it hardly seems possible. God is always with you even when it seems like he's a million miles away. When I get down I listen to a song by Everyday Sunday, its called From Me To You. It is a beautiful song. It says...There you stand with your arms wide open, You're calling me to you. I know that Heaven's just one step away as I reach for you, you hold me and say "I love you". May God be with you and may he give you peace.
