Post Thanksgiving Update
Greetings, and salutations! (I know that’s redundant, but I heard a TV character say it like that once and it stuck in my head. I can’t even recall who it was. Oh, well.)
I hope you have all recovered from your Thanksgiving tryptophan induced comas. It’s been a week already. If you’re still groggy you might need to see someone about that.
Thanks for your prayers! Kyler never got a fever and had to go to the hospital. We were able to be home for Thanksgiving. Kyler was still neutropenic so we had to stay nearby but Sandie’s parents and sister plus one of her three kids came down to our house for the day.
It’s been a rough year for not only our immediate family but our extended family as well. However, we were still filled with gratitude as we sat around the table and answered the questions Sandie had written on our place setting cards. We even had a friend, who used to be a personal chef, bring over an 18-pound turkey all prepared and ready to throw in the oven. That was a huge blessing. One of the common links among our reasons for being thankful had to do with you. Yes, you - The people who have been praying consistently for us and whom God has used to bless and help us in so many ways. Each member of our family was most grateful for the people who have been tangible expressions of the love of Jesus in our lives.
Kyler’s last appointment (Nov. 28th) revealed that his ANC count is up significantly from the previous week. He is bouncing back well and none too soon for next Tuesday (Dec. 5th) is his next round of chemo.
Mrs. Hinnenkamp’s kindergarten class at Creek Side Oaks Elementary was glad to have Kyler back almost as much as Sandie was glad to get him out of the house for a few hours every day to keep him from pestering her to bake something so he could ‘help’.
You can only watch so many episodes of ‘Little House on the Prairie’ in a week.
The last audiogram Kyler had showed what they called ‘moderate to severe’ hearing loss in the uppermost frequency ranges of his hearing. This kind of freaked us out but it’s well outside the range of normal vocal frequencies and you can’t use hearing aids to help with those ranges either. Suffice it to say, Kyler can still hear us quite well, thank you, when we tell him it’s time to clean up his room and the apparent loss of hearing that we encounter is merely selective.
We again thank your for your continued prayers. They are most appreciated and needed.
Blessings,
Darrell

Love the picture! You guys are one heck of a good looking family!
That condition of selective hearing will just continue to get worse as Kyler ages. =)
