Sunday Evening......October 14th

9th day of healing.....one step forward...two steps back....

Linda started today thinking she could eat more by mouth and perhaps eliminating the need for at least one can of "tube food"...but it didn't go according to plan...eating by mouth still bothers her esophagus...so she has slowed things down a bit. Tonight she is thinking about it all..she's a bit scared to try anything. Like the doctor said..she will know when..it's up to her.

We took a walk at the fall festival here in Sisters, Oregon...it looks like today might be the last warm, sunny day...with the cold coming tomorrow...we have two seasons here.....summer and winter.....skiing is about a month away. Friends from Bend stopped by to check in on Linda and were amazed at how far she has progressed.

We are getting "cabin fever" and thinking we might squeeze in a trip somewhere before Linda starts treatments again...it all depends on how she feels...which is mostly about the ability to eat and get rid of the "tube".

The above picture was taken the other morning of our house by the neighbor across the creek....we understand she also submitted it to the local TV station which featured it....

I am thrilled to hear you're out and walking. Baby steps, baby steps. You don't need to conquer it all in a day or a week. You've come so far from the days in the hospital. Have faith and believe and you will get to where you want to be. L, I'm so happy for you and heartened to hear you're doing better and better bit by bit each day. I've got you wrapped in that golden aura of health and love and healing. You go, girl!!!

Hi Linda,

I am still trying to catch up on your blog since I was gone for the week. I wish so much that I could be there with you.... Please know you are always in my thoughts and in my heart. It was great to hear your voice last night... I miss talking to you.
Call me anytime, and know that I am always here for you.... I love you, Julie
