Ken Is Doing Well

God is so good! Ken is really doing well. He received is third Poly-MVA treatment on Monday. They gave him a full dose this time. We didn't realize he had been getting partial doses, but they said they started out gradually. He didn't have a treatment on Wednesday due to the holiday. The physical therapist came out on Tuesday and evaluated Ken. He came back today and began with some exercises for Ken to practice each day. These exercises will strengthen his legs and help him to begin to walk again.

We were so very blessed to be visited by two more of our grandchildren over the 4th of July holiday. Derek drove in from San Antonio about 2:00 a.m. on Sunday morning. He had planned to be here sooner, but had car trouble. It was so very good to see him. He is a chemistry student at Trinity University and is working on research at the college this summer. He is now 21 years old and has one more year to get his Bachelor's Degree. He plans to continue in school until he receives his doctorate. Wow!!

Derek and I picked Justin up at the Tulsa Airport Monday evening. Justin seems taller every time I see him. He works in New Hampshire for Westinghouse in the Nuclear Division and puts together nuclear reactors. What a responsibility! It was great to see Justin again after 1-1/2 years. He said he would be back to Oklahoma for Christmas.

Ken and I were so glad to see our grandkids and it was so nice of them to come to see their Grandpa and Grandma. We are so blessed. It was especially nice to have Karen's three sons here with at all at the same time. Jeffrey was so glad to see his two brothers.

We especially want to thank my precious sister, Rowena, for being here with us for over a week. She has been such a big help. We missed her today as she went back to Oklahoma City to take Justin to see his Dad and other Grandmother. Jeffrey went with them as he is going to Nashville with his church group for the weekend.

We will be going to Edmond tomorrow for another treatment. Thanks for your prayers for Ken. They're working!!
