July 19, 2005 Dear Friends: It has been
a month since
we last wrote and a lot has happened that we want to share. Most
importantly we
want to thank you for your continued prayers for our health and the
ministry of
the “Give Ye Them To Eat” program and staff in Mexico. Muriel had
her first and
second chemo treatments with three week’s rest in between. The
June 23rd
treatment went well but the side effects that kicked in later that day
and
continued for a week were really bad. We have experienced Typhoid
and
Salmonella during our years in mission service and now we have
something to
compare those experiences to; chemotherapy. Trust us; if you can
avoid
any of these three, be sure to do so! Fortunately,
Muriel
continued to improve as she moved into the second and third week. For
the July
14th treatment, the oncologist gave her a different
anti-nausea
medicine with her pre-med drip before the chemo and that seems to have
worked. There are other side effects and fatigue, of course, but
the
debilitating nausea night and day has not consumed her as before.
Praise
God! We hope she will continue to do well. Terry is
back in Mexico
serving with the GYTTE staff at the Puebla office and out at the “Tree
of Life”
Training Center. He and the staff have
a busy summer schedule. Terry hopes to
return to Arizona for a couple weeks the second half of August. That
will put a
smile on Muriel’s face! As we have
been blessed by
God’s mercy and grace, we pray that you experience God’s embracing love
in your
life. In Christ, Muriel and
Terry Henderson |
