Thanks for asking

Many have asked after my dear mother and so here's what is going on. This Wednesday she will see Dr. Carol Ann Benn- an excellent breast cancer doctor at the Millpark Hospital in Johannesburg. They will discuss all her options and possibly determine whether the cancer has spread elsewhere. You can pray for the visit and thank the Lord that she was able to get an appointment with this doctor who apparently is very busy.
Some of you have asked about whether my headaches have gone after taking the tapeworm medication and unfortunately they have not. I still experience the headaches and dizziness on a daily basis, but am trying to make adjustments to cope with them. Thanks for taking the time to read about what is going on in our lives. We especially value your prayers.

I haven't checked your blog for a while, so I just got caught up and read about your mom. We will definitely pray for her and the rest of your family. My heart is sad right now to hear about the cancer, but I know that our God is a big God and He is the Great Physician and able to heal!

Dear Anita. I am so sorry about your mother. But I must say what an encouragement she and your father is. They are both so focused on what God has planned for their lives. We love them lots here at Grace.
