Just wanted to let you all know that we have an appointment in Madison with the radio therapy department - a consultation before we begin treatment. It's Tuesday, the 13th at 2:00 p.m. The nurse that called to make the appointment said that we will "explore options". That's got to be medical jargon for something good, doesn't it?!! Pray with us that we have clear minds to make sound decisions. Pray with us that we will be courageous to take in all "they" have to say. Thank Him for preparing the way for us!
Love,
Don & Deb
P.S. The dandelion greens are smelling oh so good!! Can't hardly keep my fork out of them. Don, on the other hand, thinks that just the smell is enough to choke a horse. More for us that like them!! :)
Are prayers are with you, Uncle Don, Jenn, & Kurt! We love you more than words can say! Good luck on the dandelions. :-)

If he doesn't like anything green or vegetabl-y to begin with, it's not a mystery that the dandelions are a little stinky. :) Right?
ReplyDeleteHi Deb and Don + others!
ReplyDeleteWe wanted to let you know that we are keeping you all in our prayers. We are hoping for the best outcome.
Glad to know that you are still taking care of everyone through your gift of cooking. I think we will pass on the dandelion greens though. I live in a house of picky eaters:)
We love you,
Dwight, Shirley, Maria and Josh
I love that you are doing this blog Deb so we can share this journey with you and lift you up daily. We are praying for God to hold you in His loving arms and just carry you gently. Praying also for the very best doctors and nurses. Please know that you are loved so much and along with Dave and I, our wonderful church family at First Christian in Gillespie, IL is also praying for you and your family. Love, Pat and Dave Staman
ReplyDeleteSo glad you chose UW to seek advice. When we were waiting last week for Roger to come out of his cancer surgery I had complete confidence in the surgeon that he knew what he was doing regardless of outcome.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mom for a lovely dinner. The greens were delicious!!! Kurt, is with Dad, more chicken!!! We had a lovely time tonight. It was good to be with family, laugh, and enjoy each other.
ReplyDeleteWe love you!!
Love, Kurt and Jenn
P.S. Enjoyed our "church" service (Dad, Mom, Kurt, Mia, Livi, and I sat around singing "I am a friend of God", "Today is the day", and some other favorite songs. We also had a time of Bible questions.
Thanks Dad and Mom for choosing to put God in the center of our lives!!!
John just spotted two malard ducks in our yard and on Thursday we had a turkey in our yard. If you ever need anything to go with dandelion greens we can help with the meat:) We will be with you in spirit on Tuesday. Madison has some great doctors. We will be praying for your doctors and for you and Don. Love you, John and Sue
ReplyDeleteHey Gorgeous! What gives? Vi told me about the struggle.. Holy Cats this stinks! I'm so sorry to welcome you into the "cancer club". No one ever wants to join, the cost is high and they take your hair most of the time. The upside - you will get ready SO fast in the morning.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you my very special friend! many hugs and kisses.
Kathleen
Hi Don and Deb,

ReplyDeleteHi Deb and Don,
You both are in our thoughts prayers. We've seen many miracles over the years and we know God is ever so close to you. We'll be watching for your posted updates.
Good morning Deb & Don,
ReplyDeleteI also like dandelion greens but Larry will pass every time. Have you ever tried frying the flower buds before they are open? Yummy! By the way Deb, Larry (DID NOT) think the snow/sleet was pretty but he loves to have you remind him how much he doesn't like it. Ha! We are here for you. Love and prayers. Pat & Larry
Don and Debbie,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this blog. May God bless you and guide you on this journey. We love you and are praying for you. Definitely getting you guys added to as many prayer lists as I can too. Hang in there!
Love,
Drew, Meredith, & Kayden
Deb and Don,
ReplyDeleteAs I think of you tonight I am reminded of an old hymn...one I am SURE you know..."GOD WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU"! He has, He is and He will continue to do so!
You are such wonderful stewards of His calling! It is time for you to step back and receive the help of others as those who love you surround you with their love, help and prayers!
Here for you!
In His GREAT Love,
Linda Marston
You can buy dandelion greens?!?!?!
ReplyDeleteI am amazed that you can eat dandelion buds. I just got a shiver.
ReplyDeleteHey Don & Deb,
ReplyDeleteHope you had a good weekend. Just wanted to let you know we'll be thinking about you tomorrow. Please let us know what we can do for you.
Love,
Doug & Donna
