Update on Muriel
Henderson May 27, 2005 Dear Family
and Friends: For the past
week we have been
working on battle strategies with our medical team which includes the
surgeon,
plastic surgeon, oncologist and radiation oncologist. We are
so grateful
to have such a wonderful group of friends and family who back us and
the
medical team up with prayer support as we consider the procedures
and
treatments that are before us. The
immediate plan is for Muriel to have
surgery later next week on the chest area where she is having
trouble
with dying skin. Once that situation is under control and
healing is
progressing, six months of chemotherapy will be
scheduled. Although
radiation will follow the chemotherapy, that is a little too far in the
future
to deal with at this point. So for now we are concentrating
on
healing and the growth of healthy new skin. Last
Saturday and
Sunday we enjoyed a stay at our cabin in
Pinetop and
will do so again this holiday weekend. Most week days have
been
filled with medical appointments and related activities as well as some
quality
family time. It is good to have time to spend with our
Mothers. And
we especially enjoy the evenings we have spent with our Arizona
grandchildren,
Isaac, Heather and Tiffany Eustice, who bring us much joy. We miss our
grandsons, Axel and Tony, and look forward to seeing them again when we
return
to Mexico. In the meantime phone calls and e-mail keep us in
touch. In Puebla
and Tlancualpican, Mexico, the staff of the
"Give Ye Them To Eat" program are busy with the production of
training materials for the various classes, courses and workshops
to be
held this summer and fall. Planting is on the agenda as the
first
rains are anticipated in Tlancualpican. The cycle of life is very
real at
the Tree of Life Training Center where the land is prepared for
planting
so crops can eventually be harvested to feed both people and
livestock. In turn the livestock give back to the land so it can
be
prepared for the next planting season. Not only does the Center
live from
the production of the land and livestock but it serves as a
demonstration
farm to the many visitors who learn about sustainable agriculture and
livestock
practices when they tour the Center. Thank you
for your thoughts and prayers for us and the ministry of the GYTTE
Staff. We also pray God's blessings and
mercies upon you
in your daily walk. In His Grasp, Terry and
Muriel Henderson |
