A lot has happened since the last update.
First of all, Westin “graduated” from his IV chemo treatments!!! Because of all your prayers, Westin was able to resume his treatments after a week off and his labs came back really good. The nurses came over to him when he was finished with a “graduation” certificate and clapped and sang like they do at a restaurant on your birthday, lots of fun! I attached a picture of him with Patty and Donna who took extra good care with him and gave him lots of TLC. We love them.
Also, the Cuts for A Cause fundraiser that Kelsey organized happened on Saturday and was a great success! It was truly overwhelming to witness the love and support that people gave to our whole family, friends and strangers (now friends) and family. So many people spent hours of time and gave of their means to help, it’s a very humbling experience and makes us all teary to realize how much love and goodwill is in our world. THANK YOU THANK YOU!
Next week Westin should begin his “at home” treatment with his injections of Interferon that he will give himself. The dosage is half of what he was taking and only every other day instead of every day so we expect that it should go well.
Westin has started a new business venture. He sold his truck and bought 2 soda machines with some of the money. He is putting one in the pool store on McKellips and is looking for another location for the other machine. If anyone can think of a good location for the other one he would like to know. This should be a nice help to him as he hasn’t been able to put it the hours at work that he was before. Westin decided he would like to start taking some classes online until he can get around on his own (another story) so that’s what his plans are next.
This experience has helped all of us to rely on the Lord more and to be grateful for every blessing that comes through challenges and trials. Real life lessons are such good teachers and Wes has been experiencing many of those and it has been for his good as well as ours.
Love to all of you and thank you again!
Helen
