Ups and Downs

New family Picture from Easter Weekend

It has been almost a month since I have updated, YIKES! Sorry for that. Even with the new ideas from the Dr., Dad is staying the same. Not improving really. He has good days and bad days. His weight reached an all time low about a week ago, but then has come back up. So, as far as the weight, he isn't really gaining, he is just fluctuating up and down. Some days he is able to go out and work all day on the ranch, and some days he wakes up sick, not feeling good, and spends the day inside resting. He is on a regular schedule of dilation for his esophagus, which is about every six weeks or so. He is trying to continue life as usual when he is able. The men's ministry meeting down at the Ranch, that they have on the last Thursday of every month seems to be going strong.


The second week of June, Mom and Dad will come join me and the babies up in Branson, Mo, while the big kids are at Kanakuk. We will get to enjoy some time with them at Big Cedar Lodge, and then pick the kids up from Kamp and head home. I am looking forward to that, Dad always enjoys going up to Big Cedar, it brings back so many special family memories of all the years our family went there ever summer, while the kids (Jamie, Tully and Joy) were at kamp. A beautiful place, and a special place to us.


I know, those that pray for Dad regularly, are probably wanting a new request, but it remains the same. Gain weight, gain energy, enjoy life today, for we are not sure we have tomorrow.


Thank you again


JJ and all the Janszen kids
