Well as you can see it has been a while since we posted an update.
It again was a bit rough going at about 3 days after the maintenance chemo.
Like the last time it lasted a little over 2 days, after that the naussea
settled down and Jane has been doing quite well the last 10 days.
Last week Wednesday she had the bone enhencer started in Owen Sound
hospital and then took it home with her, to have it disconnected at home
by the home care nurse. Just yesterday she went to have her blood tested
and we did not get a call so it must have tested good. It is exciting to see
her hair coming back. It is about 3/4" long. The last 3 Tuesday nights we
have even joined the prayer meeting at the church. What a blessing to be
with those folks again.
Things are going with the farm. We still have round bales of good second
cut to pick up and store in the barns. With the 3 belgian horses and 3 of the
 light horses also sold (both to Amish), we hope that we are going
to be okay for hay this winter.
There are several pens of does bred or being bred, so 4-5 months from now
will be busy.
 Still looking for more help on the farm but trust that it will come in due time.
God is good, all the time. We are still blessed and highly favored.
Thanks again for all your prayers and concern for us.  Marinus & Jane.

Hello everyone! It's been awhile for an update but the excuse is that I have been away 11 days to Benjamin and Kelly and baby Lucas in Michigan. This was a great time as I was able to spoil Lucas and I was feeling awesome with no ill effects. On the weekend the whole family, all 21 of us were there as well as we were able to witness the baptism of Lucas. So the kids lined up various activities from golf, to swimming, to eating at McDonalds on Saturday for the grandkids as well as the "big" kids and also taking pictures of the family by a professional. These photos we hope to see in a couple of weeks. Last March I would not have thought that this would have been possible but because of your prayers and God's goodness it all came to be. Well I am back in Dornoch as I had a doctors appointment and blood work on Tuesday which went really well and allowed me to have my second maintenance chemo yesterday. The chemo took only an hour and today I still feel good so I am hoping this will continue as the last time I felt nauseated 3 days after. My doctor said he was going to do another CT scan after the 4th maintenance chemo to see how this is going. He said we will continue in this format as long it is doing what it is suppose to and why change things if they are working. Again thanks for all your prayers and we would appreciate your continued support in this area as we know it gives us strength to keep fighting. We enjoy every day we get and every blessing we receive. Our prayer continues to be for healing and that I will not feel nauseated from this treatment. God bless all of you and your families.
Jane and Marinus
