November 30th

We're back in Illinois to finish my treatments.  I should be done on the 22nd, providing we don't have any delays in my treatments.  It's really cold up here & they are expecting some snow tonite but shouldn't have any accumulation this time but they talking about getting some more on Monday that may stay for a while.  We do love the snow, I can't wait to see it on the beautiful evergreen trees.  What a majestic site!

I bought a small Christmas Tree to decorate for us in the trailer, it looks lovely on the table by our recliners.  And, I brought a crocheted door hanger that my momma made so we have a little bit of home with us.  It was really hard to leave our family at home with this being the Christmas Season.  But, we'll get thru this last bit of treatments and get to be HOME for a long while...... YEAH! 
Praise the Lord!

Thanks so much for your prayers, cards & phone calls........ you are all so special to us!

Please pray that my treatments go well and we don't have any delays so that we'll be headed home in time for Christmas....... 

Our prayer is that each of you have a very blessed Christmas, complete with family, friends, lots of good food, and most importantly that the love of the Lord will be poured out in abundance on you & yours!

Merry Christmas!
Joyce & Leon

Praise the Lord!  We're home for 3 weeks!  Last Friday when I finished my last full body treatment, I again saw my Dr.   He suggested that we come home for 3 weeks to let my body heal then return on Nov. 29th to finish treating my feet & head.  I really wanted to stay & get it all behind me but as usual, the Dr was right.  I've really needed this time to rest, the past few weeks have been pretty challenging.

Leon also saw his urologist on Friday and will get the stint out when we return.  He's been doing pretty good, the Dr wants to leave the other stones alone for now, so we're believing that they won't cause any more issues.

We're so grateful for the angels that God has sent our way, disguised as Dr's, nurses, therapists and Kim, John & Mary at the park we're staying at. We have been so blessed with such caring folks that treat us like we're their family.  Thanks again Lord!

Then I received a gift basket yesterday from my friends at DaySpring filled with cards that touched our hearts with all the encouragement & prayers that have been sent our way.  Thanks DaySpring!  And thanks to all my family & friends for the phone calls, cards, gifts & prayers, that has meant the world to us.

Well, I'll go for now, I'm still struggling with my hands and typing is pretty tough.

Praise Reports:
***Thanks to Kim & her family for taking such good care of Chloe while Leon was in the hospital.
***Thanks for a safe trip home
***Thanks for our family to be safe while we're away

Prayer Requests:
***That our Lord will be glorified as we travel thru this journey
***That my hands & feet will continue to heal and be pain free

Blessings to each & every one of you........... we love you all!
