How Great is the Love

Thank you for the way
That you love us
How you love us

Thank you for the way
You have made us

We were created
For your pleasure
For your presence

For the glory of your name
Thank you for the way
That you love us

Jesus, faithful King
Lord with grateful hearts we sing

How great is the love
How great is the love
Of our Savior

The weight of the cross
The curse of our shame
You carried it all
And rose from the grave

Thank you for the grace
That has saved us
You forgave us

Thank you for the way
You have freed us

We have been ransomed
We've been rescued
We've been purchased

With the price of your own life
Thank you for the way
That you love us

You Fail Us Not

I Will Rise

Before the Morning/ Everything Falls

Easter

On Monday, Mom received her 3rd treatment of Avastin at Hopkins. She had been at Hopkins the previous Monday for the original date of that treatment, but her blood pressure was too high so the treatment had to be rescheduled.

We are all looking forward to a visit from Lisa's family (who live in Florida) at the end of April! What a blessing for us all to be together to celebrate Mom's birthday! Another important date in April is Mom and Dad's anniversary, April 13!!!

UPDATE

Last Monday (March 8), Mom and Dad were at Hopkins to hear the results of the CT scan from the previous week and for the chemo. Dr. Guintoli had Mom start a NEW treatment called Avastin right after her appt. with him. She will receive this every 21 days, and she will not need the Neulasta shot the day after treatment anymore. Also, she will not have to get bloodwork done every week but will only get it right before treatments.

Mom was directed to move around more so she started walking this past week on those warmer days.

Last weekend, we brought our newly purchased video camera to Mom and Dad's and captured some footage of Mom sharing some stories and answering questions about her childhood, motherhood, etc. Below is the first story she shared.

Please pray for:
~effectiveness of this new treatment
~relief from the cough
~motivation to walk and move around more

Happy Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day was celebrated a day early in the Wingate house! Mom received beautiful yellow and red roses from Dad, and we enjoyed a wonderful meal at Magnolias followed by dessert at home...chocolate fondue!
