4:30 PM Well, we just returned to our hotel room. The doctors did an exam and found that the cancer has spread to an area that does not respond to surgery. As a result, we are heading back to Fargo to begin radiation and chemo treatments. This is still very treatable and the doctors have assured us that this treatment will have the same level of results as surgery. We feel good that the initial diagnosis is confirmed and that we have explored all avenues of treatment available. The doctors and staff here are awesome, very efficient: I hardly was able to read the newspaper before they had us on the move again.
Sheree says hi to all, but she is very tired and taking a nap.
We had a pastor come in this morning and she read a verse from Psalms that was the very one we read this morning before coming to the hospital. "God is our refuge and strength a very present help in time of trouble." I was struck by the promise of a present help, not some future help or when all else fails help, but present help right when we need it. Praise God.

Ken, I'm so glad you are such a help to Sheree at this time in her life. Sometimes, trials are the refining factors that make us better citizens of the Kingdom of God. He always has a purpose and plan. Yes! He is an ever-present help in times of trouble.
