Current Update

Posted for Sheri...

Hi All,

I have been spending my days with Wally and he is doing very well. He continues to walk the halls, actually faster than I can, and impress the nurses with how much air he can suck in. Today was his first day of “food”. For dinner, he actually had some cream of potato soup and grape juice! He should be able to come home on Wednesday as long as he can eat solids. We spoke with the oncologist today and Wally will start treatment in about a month. He will also be bringing a naturopath on board to work with him. Virginia Mason sees more pancreatic cancer patients in the country and we have been told by several people that this oncologist is also world renowned for his work. Please continue to pray for complete healing as he endures the chemotherapy and continue to pray for that peace which passes all understanding. God has brought these amazing doctors to us and we are watching God working in them and through them in more ways than one and we are very thankful.

goodmorning Wally and Sheri,

Sounds like your personal nurse is keeping you marching. Cream of potatoe soup sounds pretty good. We are thankful with you that God has given you great Drs. and peace. I had my stint put in at Virginia Mason and it is still working. We send love and prayers from our hearts to yours, Wade & Janie

Hello Wally and Sheri,
It is so wonderful to hear you are doing so well. I would be leaving the hospital too if that is all they were feeding me! ;^>
Anyway, hope to see you around work soon.
Love,
Mike and Jeanette

After eating hospital soup, I'd opt for Sheri's cooking any day!

First off thanks Joann for that visual! Second, Wally the soup sounds devine. Was it the chunky or smooth kind?
Sheri, I've had your soup, maybe you should get the recipe! Only kidding!
I know you miss me!!!!

Let us know when you get home.
Love you guys,
Letha and Don
