Hello,

  Thanks to all who prayed for Michele after our last update/prayer request. Her arm did improve, and her spirits were bouyed as well.

  We had a good visit with the neurosurgeon this past Wednesday. He is pleased with Michele's progress, so much so that he will not need to see her for six months. That's a milestone behind us in this journey. Now that we are confident in the progress of the nerve and muscle regeneration in her arm, we can focus on the eradication of the cancer.

  Monday, October 13th, Michele will receive her third RCHOP treatment. She is in good spirits, but aware that resumption of treatments means return of fatigue. Small price to pay, in the big scheme of things, but still unwelcome. When she is admitted for her second Methotrexate treatment on October 27th, they will do another lumbar puncture to see if the treatments are moving in the right direction. An absence of Lymphoma cells in her spinal fluid would be good news indeed, so please pray toward that end.

  Have a blessed Sunday. We'll report in a few days to let you know how the treatment went.

Gratefully yours,

Tim and Michele
