It's been a frustrating few weeks with technology - our ADSL line has been giving us grief so, once again, I have not been able to update the blog for a while.
Nikki is due to go for her next course of Chemo on Thursday this week. She usually goes on a Wednesday but not this week because of the public holiday. We're so glad it worked out that way as our special friends, Rod, Val and Natalie are visiting from the USA and will be in Cape Town on Wednesday so we will all get together to see them then. Val's humour is always like medicine to us and we look forward to a good dose of laughter therapy!!
Our most recent news is that Nikki met with her Rheumatologist about a week and a half ago and he was very concerned about the development of the arthritis in her feet. He sent her for x rays as he was convinced there was permanent damage in the joints. But he phoned Nikki last week with the results of the tests and said that the x rays showed absolutely no permanent damage in the joints, which was very surprising to him. Praise our God!!
Other than that, Nikki continues to struggle with pain, inflammationa nd stiffness in her joints daily. Usually mornings are worst so she has continued to rest in the morning and seems to be better on most days in the afternoon.
She has had very few side effects from the chemotherapy other than hair loss and hot flushes, but her greatest struggle (physically) is with the arthritis which is relentless, so please continue to pray into this area. We continue to stand firm and beleive our God for her complete healing. As always, thank you for standing with us. Here is a photo of Nix at Daniel's 5th bithday party.
