Well, Hello Everyone!

It’s me, two hands and a feeding tube Lu! I wanted to let everyone know how thankful I am for all your thoughts and prayers during this challenging “journey.”  My Faith in God, my wonderful “private nurse,” and all your thoughts and prayers are what get me through the day-in-day out “battle” that I find myself in.

I am not trying to be insensitive or offensive to others who have toiled and may have lost their struggle.  Many would prefer that I it look at is as a “journey,” something not to win or lose, but please forgive me, it will always be a battle.  One with tactics, milestones, small and big victories and of course many set-backs and defeats.

I’ve been feeling pretty good the past few days (although I suspect it maybe the steriods).  I’ve been able to partially swallow, and a result, partially eat some soft food!  Obviously a a huge step forward relative to the past month!

My next goal is to have a biopsy without having to have a tracheostomy.

We will find out tomorrow.  All in the hands of God, may his Will be Done…

Who know what milestone may come in the Spring?  Perhaps another selfie- my first ever above!  Just below the Nevada Footbridge on the Silver Apron above Vernal Falls in Yosemite Park.

Thanks again for all your thoughts and prayers!

Love,

Daryl
