Good News/last couple of weekends

This is really Craig--as Gail said, we had good news at my three month checkup--still cancer free and in remission. The last couple of weekends we have been visiting our kids in South Dakota and in Nebraska. Anne's baby is due in late November. Her husband Scott and roommate are trying to sell their house so Anne and Scott can move either to a house of their own or a rental for a while. Neil is doing well as a civil engineer in Rapid City, SD. All is well--I am working full days and we have many blessings for which to be thankful.

Good news at 3 month check-up

Craig had a 3 month check-up with the Pierre oncologist. All tests were in the normal range and there was no sign of cancer! He is still in remission. Next check-up is in 3 months.

A few weeks ago, we got a news letter from the transplant house about the July golf tournament and picnic to honor survivors. The young woman from Italy who needed a double lung transplant had the transplant on April 23. In July, she was doing exceptionally well. In fact, at the picnic she was dancing with her friend from New York who was doing well. I was not sure the friend from New York would survive after hearing we met and I heard about all his complications after a second transplant.

The woman needing a liver transplant who had come to the transplant house in January finally received one. She also is doing well. God is good.
