Anne goes in for Round 11 tomorrow. It has been a long, hard month for Anne and the rest of the family. We had a wonderful, lazy Christmas and New Year. We stayed healthy – that was our goal. Anne is struggling with bone pain in a significant way between her chemo cycles as a result of one of her medications. While this is a “normal” response to the medication, it has been difficult for Anne. The pain is constant for most of her two-week recovery period between the chemo cycle. We are just really anticipating being finished.
Stephen’s birthday was last weekend, so we all went out for lunch. Clark couldn’t eat much because he needed to make weight for wrestling, but the rest of us ate way too much. Anne had ramen (no spicy), so it was good that she could find something on the menu. Stephen is traveling this week for work and he also has travel in February.
Clark is at the end of the wrestling season. We aren’t sure how long it will be – it depends on post season wins. It has been a difficult season for him physically and emotionally. He has learned a lot about setting boundaries and taking care of himself.
Anne has another month of chemo, then we wait for the results. We have every reason to hope for good results. That is what all four of us are focused on as we do our part.

Longing with you to hear good news and for the chemo to be over. We pray every night for hope for everyone and for full healing for Anne. We are preparing for Bentley’s 10th birthday this weekend. I can hardly believe another year has gone by.
We will keep up the prayers for successful treatment and a winning season for Clark.
