aloha!

thanks again SO much for everyone's prayers.  my mom had her third round of chemo, and did experience a bit more side effects than she normally does.  however, i think she is starting to recover a bit.  if possible, i was hoping y'all could pray for her this coming week, as she will be going with my dad to hawaii!  please pray that she would recover her strength and keep her safe on the trip.  we're all hoping it will be a relaxing time for them :)

as an update, my mom will have her next CT scan in another three and a half weeks.  the scan will hopefully let us know the state of the disease.  we will for sure update y'all when we find out.  please keep praying for complete healing!

the city of houston and galveston are still slowly recovering from the hurricane.  this past week, i really got a glimpse of how bad the damage really was.  over a million people in houston are still without power!  God was definitely graceful to our family to allow us to have electricity, which gave my mom time to rest comfortably following her chemo.  here's a pic from one of our neighbors, to show you how strong the winds were:

again, we thank each and every one of you for your prayers!

God is good.
