visitors galore!

Hi all,

Just a quick update!

David is chugging along, on various treatments and supplements. Has days of bad pain and days where it is not so bad. He has some new pain meds which are keeping things more generally at bay, eg a 'maintenance dose' I think its called? which he takes every day, then another med for when it gets extra bad. He is very tired and has a lot of rest time but tries to stay active at other times when he can, still going on walks etc. His spirits are still good :)

David and Catherine have both accessed the excellent counselling services available from the Cancer Support Service.

His kids have all been to visit lately, first Warren for a weekend from Sydney a couple weeks ago, then Iain from Sydney and Anne from Melbourne both here last weekend. Megan just flew in from Brisbane on Tuesday and went home today. So, as you can imagine, it's been such a blessing for him to have his kids visiting, just time to hang out together, and also the emotional and physical support they provided to both David and Catherine.

Next week, two of David's dearest and oldest friends Grant and Chrissy are flying in from New Zealand for five days which will be a very special time for them all.

The church has set up a meal roster (twice a week at this stage), coordinated by the lovely Liz K. This is a huge blessing to lift some of the mental and physical load of meal prep, with everything else they have going on. If you want to go on this roster or help in some other way, just let me know.

I think that's about it for now.

In His Love, Kate xx
