We had a mostly routine mid-cycle visit today with Dr. Mita's PA, with the exception of another hour-long infusion of magnesium. For some reason, my level is lower than normal. I guess it's time to start back up on the mag pills and the almonds. In the past two-and-a-half years, I may have the world record for eating almonds, mostly during the time I was being treated with Reolysin. That really knocked my magnesium down. Anyway, as I've said before, routine is good at this point. Our next visit involves CT scans, the first since surgery. Should be interesting to see what it all looks like.
I have been eating better the last two days. Helen made me a nuclear milkshake last night, using chocolate flavored Ensure and chocolate ice cream. It was loaded and probably the reason I've gained two pounds back. I think it had enough calories in it to boil water. Food has not tasted as bad, for which we are thankful. I know several of you have prayed about that on our behalf. (to Dora's Daddy: If I didn't like lobster before surgery, do you think it's possible I will like it after surgery? Maybe I should try it! :) )
We are tired, as usual, and Helen works tomorrow. I'm not sure how she does everything she does. She has become my bodyguard, my caretaker, my chauffeur, as well as everything else she's always been to me. It's just God's sustaining grace as she yields to Him. I'm so thankful for her. God has so blessed me with her.
"Praise the Lord, my soul; all my inmost being, praise His holy name. Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits--who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's..." (from one of my favorite psalms, Psalm 103.)

Hi Kenny & Helen,
It is so good to know you are home and you sound like you are feeling better.
I love almonds!!! That would be an easy "medicine" to take. Yum!
As usual, we love you and are praying for you.
We hope to see you soon.

Glad you are back and up and around! We continue to pray for God to reveal Himself through you and your family. What an awesome honor to be such a chosen servant. Thank you again!
(Maybe if you make an "almond sauce" to baste the lobster in while it is slowly broiling...(now I'm hungry!))
Kenny and Helen,
Asking God to come like an almighty wind and give you healing, strength, peace, and blessings in extra measure. I am glad that you are home. It was so good to see you on Wednesday. We serve an almighty God who is able! Thank you God for the blessings you have given us through Kenny and Helen, give it back to them in extra measure - pressed down and overflowing!
Luke 6:38
"Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you."
Thank you for giving so much to us!
We love you,
Tracy
