Grandmommy’s Notes in the Margin

It has been several weeks since I sent an update. I often find myself thinking that I should not bore people with these notes re Robert’s progress. Then, someone writes and asks or makes a phone call. The calls and emails are much appreciated, but it also makes me realize that people are praying as we have asked them to and they want to know how to pray. I am so grateful to our God for those reminders He sends my way. Thank you. It is your prayers that sustain us.

Robert did not receive good news this past week. Dr Jenkins told him that the cancer was growing even while he was on treatment. So, it goes without saying that it has continued to grow as he has been “on a break”. We knew he was declining, but did not realize that it had quit responding.

He will start back on chemotherapy this next week. The treatment will change and he will be on a different medication. (Don’t even ask me what it is, but Robert knows!!). We are asking the Lord to be merciful and to bring healing with this new treatment.

We have a dear friend that was recently diagnosed with cancer from our church. His name is Jim Leach. He now has a blood infection and is back in the hospital. Please lift him and his two daughters up in prayer.

Many of you knew that my niece was having twins and I know that you were praying for her. I have been lax in not asking for prayer for them. They have been born and it has been a rough few weeks. Some of you knew and were praying. I believe the worst is over, but there are still some weight issues. Also, my niece, as you can imagine, is very exhausted and needs some rest. Her mother is there, but every-2-hour feedings for 2 have just about worn her down.

Our God is so very good and all of the time He is good. We know that nothing changes that.

We are grateful to Him for you
Robert and Sandy Little
