We all traveled up to Grass Valley where Karen's parents live and had a very nice Christmas all in all. As it happened, however, Christmas seems to have marked the lowest point in how Karen has felt since treatments started.
The good news is that today was the last of Karen's treatments and since yesterday she has been feeling a bit better each day. I've seen her smile more today than I have seen in far too long. Thank you all for your fervent prayers and steady affections. We are eagerly looking forward to Karen getting her voice and energy back. It looks as if she is headed in the direction of health.
I'll fill you all in early next week as to what the next steps are. We know there are MRI's, blood tests, and appointments but aside from that we will need to talk to both our John Muir and our UCSF doctors to determine the details.
We hope you all have a very happy new year!
About Me

- Men have the God given honor and responsibility of training the next generation of men to lead and love in their families, churches and society. But knowing that this needs to be done, and knowing HOW to get it done are often two different things. Christian Service Brigade is a 75 year old organization that has been dedicated to helping men accomplish this vital task through: Training, equipping and encouraging men for ministry Empowering men to use their own gifts, talents and experience to teach the truth of God's Word. Encouraging young men and boys to grow in Christ-likeness through relationships with godly men, applying Scripture to daily life, serving Christ together, and memorizing God's Word. Providing materials that give men a practical, fun and dynamic way to disciple young men and boys for Christ. Fostering the skill of fathering through mutual father/son experiences. Our family is excited to be serving with an organization so uniquely positioned to answer this timely and vital need. If you are interested in seeing how we might be able to help you or someone you know develop a strategy for discipleship feel free to email me. dgregg@csbministries.org

Phil and I went looking for some bad wine today in the Napa Valley. Our search was unsuccessful, so we had a very good time enjoying the nice sunny weather and lovely wines. Karen was frequently in our thoughts and in of our conversation. You are in our prayers - always.

So glad that the treatments have been completed and that Karen can start to truly heal now! Will pray for her voice and energy to return! I know this has been a hard few months for you all to say the least...may the new year bring much needed rest and good health! God will continue to sustain you...of that we are confident! We love you all and never cease to lift you up in our prayers!
Throughout Tuesday, we rejoiced that your last treatment had come, at last. Praying that you feel your perky-self soon. Love you!

We are just catching up with the latest news and will continue to pray for Karen's throat and energy. We are praying for you too Dave and the family.
Feel our hugs,

So sorry that Christmas marked a low point but we look forward with you to the prospects of hope, health and healing that God will bring. Praying for Karen's vibrance to return.
If you see my brother again (today?) give him a big old hug for me before he heads back home!
God bless!
Nan
