Since we heard news of Mom's cancer coming back February 4th, the Lee family certainly has been on somewhat of a roller coaster ride - of course, especially Mom and Dad.
Mom and Dad made medical decisions about how to respond to Mom's cancer 2 months ago and the family has been very confident in their discernment. Since then, Mom and Dad have been living normal life - and let me tell you, their 'normal life' goes at about 150 mph! Dad, who has a gift of creativity, is always full of new ideas of what to do with their time, they are part of a Christian community which is busy, and they spend the rest of their time serving family and friends. Just in the past month Mom went on a weekend retreat, worked for 3 weeks on the St. Paul census (lots of walking around the neighborhoods), took care of grandkids each Thursday and other evenings, took care of little Leo for a few days, made Faustina's birthday cake, and the list goes on.
Mom was doing all this while we believe her body is being healed of cancer, and now her body is demanding her to slow down. The past week Mom has had very little energy. She has had a good amount of pain on her sternum where a bump appears to have grown larger. Dad has canceled virtually all activities for the next month or so as it is clear that they need to slow down. They are taking each day as it comes and asking God to guide them in their steps.
We do not know what the Lord is up to, but we continue to pray for Mom's healing and have faith that his will is being done.
