{New Chapter}

We've opened a new chapter in our lives. It's one we didn't see coming, and wouldn't wish on anyone, but it's been bestowed upon us and we are ready to take it on...Lyndon has been diagnosed with colon cancer. He had surgery on June 27th to remove a portion of his colon- a third of the colon, the lining of the abdomen and 27 lymph nodes were taken out. He is home now recovering, and is doing really well. He needs a few more weeks to heal, and will be starting six months of chemo on August 1st. He will be off work until he gets through all of this. He is considered stage four, but luckily they say he is not a traditional stage four, as they think they already got all the cancer surgically. 

So for now our days are busy with scans and tests and follow ups and appointments. We're lucky to have Lyndon's  mom staying with us for the coming months while we go through this. I would be LOST without her right now, trying to manage caring for the little girls and Lyndon. We hope this is a short chapter, and are confident it is going to have a happy ending! We have already felt so humbled by the love and support we have received, and continue to get on a daily basis, and for spiritual blessings already received through this trial.
THANK YOU family and friends ~ you are AMAZING! XOX
