One Year Later

One year ago today, we received the phone call that changed our lives. It was a call from the doctor with the results of the CT scan done earlier in the day. There were no illusions anymore that Gus was just sick and would be o.k.

To say it has been a year of struggles is an understatement. To say it has been easy would be a lie. What is no understatement though is how everyone has blessed us. I cannot imagine how we would have survived without our friends and loved ones helping us and praying for us.

Sitting here thinking back on the year, disbelief is utmost. A year ago, Gus could hardly eat, he was in pain and the prognosis was poor. He spent last summer either in a car, in the cancer center or sleeping in his bed. He could barely eat and was so thin.

Today, he is outside working and just enjoying being in his meadow. This is the longest stretch he has had and will have had without seeing a doctor or having treatment. God has really blessed us.
