A Skylark plus two rainbows...

Lana here...

Our day began very early, setting out at 6:00, to make the trek downtown for treatment. What amazing, loving people that work at the Rocky Mountain Cancer Center. They treated Al with such kindness as they started his "cocktail" and explained the procedures. He was given an anti-nausea drug immediately and then we settled in for the next 6 hours. Watching all the other patients come and go, some walking by with knowing nods and smiles, put us all on an even playing ground, fighting a common battle.

My Skylark today (from the book Tramp for the Lord), was the warmth of our nurse MaryJo, who spent time with us, encouraged us, and suggested a different anti-nausea drug to be taken for only 3 days. It gave me hope that Al could get a better handle on that side-effect. And then Stephanie called to say that Little B saw two rainbows over the mountains and I was able to look and there they were....hope times two. 

And so today we press in and see that we are not alone. "I will never desert you, nor will I ever forsake you." "The Lord is my helper, I will not be afraid, what will man do to me?" Heb. 13: 5,6
Thank you all again for caring and reading our story.
