August 30, 2002 — Debbie has been very weak for the last three weeks. Some of the weakness is dues tot he chemotherapy; some is due to a thyroid problem that has developed which makes her sleep most of the day. She is currently on medicine to correct this. We have been going through numerous tests in preparation for the Gamma Knife Surgery on September 12th. Please continue to pray for her and for this surgery (see below, August 2002).
Belgium — The week before we were to leave to go to Belgium, I sent my itinerary to the school. I received an apologetic email explaining that they had moved the colloquium to the following week (September 9-13). Somehow, they had failed to notify me of this. With Debbie’s surgery on the 12th and her weakened state, we decided it was wise not to go this year. God’s time and His wisdom in this matter are continuing evidences of His grace to us!
