Well, it has been a while. We are still here and doing well. After such a long absence, I don't know if we still have any readers. For those who check now and again, I wanted to tell you Rupert is having a routine colonoscopy on Thursday (4/12/12). He was encouraged to get one every 2 years. In March of 2010, the doctor found 5 polyps - to which he said was a rare occurrence given Rupert's age. Yes, colon cancer at 32 is a very rare occurrence. So, it will be interesting to see what happens Thursday. It has been 12 years since the original diagnosis....we can't believe it. God has been amazingly gracious to us! So, though I am not really nervous about what they will find on Thursday, I find myself nervous about reliving that part of our lives.....seeing Rupert lying in a hospital bed, incapacitated by sedation, being reminded of the fragility of life. All the emotions of that time seep back to mind. I am humbly thankful. We didn't have any guarantees that he would be here today......and yet he is! .....so thankful.
