After a 5-day business trip to Salt Lake City, I arrived home on Monday to a house with a sick child and I got sick, too. Shelby has been running a fever most of the week and only made it to school one day. I was terribly sick on Wednesday, throwing up four times and feeling very wiped out. We weren’t sure what the cause, so Mark called Dr. Aggarwal’s office to ask them what to do. They had me come in a for fluids and nauseu medicine through my port, which took about 2 hours. Incredibly, I felt much better by the end of the treatment and have ever since. I’ve told several people that getting fluids and nausea medicine might be a nice daily routine if I feel this good! The nurses at the office thought I had a bad case of the flu, but they weren’t sure it wasn’t chemo side effects. Ever since the fluids on Wednesday, I’ve been feeling great!
We are planning for our big move on November 10, and several people from our church have offered to help. My house is full of boxes, and the kids and Mark are getting nervous, but I think we’ll make it. We’ll be living about 8 miles from the hardware store, between Markle and Bluffton. This is only a temporary move until we sell our house and find something in the Markle area to purchase, but we hope it’s a step in the right direction. We’d like to find a house that we can stay in for the rest of our lives when we do this again. We’re trusting God to provide what we need, and we’re praying for patience as it all unfolds.
I found this verse when I was reading my Bible this morning– it’s from The Message.
Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust God from the bottom of your heart;
don’t try to figure out everything on your own.
Listen for God’s voice in everything you do,
everywhere you go;
he’s the one who will keep you on track.
We’re trying hard to trust at this level and listen for God’s voice in every decision we make. The trials of life, like sick kids, chemo and moving, keep distracting us along the way. Thanks for your continued support and love. We can definitely feel it!

Hey Mom,
I just wanted to let you know that Nick and I will be available to help with the move and I wanted to offer myself pay free for the hardware store so mark can help if he wants to. Just let us know what you want to do! You are always in our prayers!
Hey Sandy I love the verse. Why do we always try to figure it out instead of resting on him? We all need to rest in him and quit carry the load. Let him worry about tomorrow!
It was good to see you Sunday. What a nice time for Claron and Bev.
Love Lisa
