Not An April Fools Joke! (Start Here)

April 2009 brought us a new surprise --- we just learned that I was diagnosed with a Level 4 Glioblastoma (malignant brain tumor).  After some minor symptoms (numbness in the right leg, headaches and such), we were quickly admitted to surgery to remove the baseball sized tumor, stayed in the ICU, moved to regular recovery, and now the "Two-Morrows" are back home recuperating.  Unfortunately, with so many siblings, spouses, family, friends, missionaries and such it is difficult to make the home the needed place for recuperation.  As my strength begins to return, it will be necessary to move into the next extended phase of the recovery - Chemo and Radiation!  That should start the middle of April and will require our home to remain a clean and quiet place to completely recover.  Although we would love to have all well wishers stop by for a visit, it is just too difficult to host so many of you from our home.  Please feel free to leave a message here so we can enjoy your message at a convenient time.

This week, Russ and Jessica and their little families (2 kids each) came from the DC area to spend some time with Grandpa and Grandma before the Chemo-Radiation time begins.  They were just a joy to have around but with a usually quiet home, this activity was about as much as we were prepared to receive.  We enjoyed having an Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday April 11. 

We were told that the next phase will probably require lots of recovery time and necessitate some privacy to keep from being worn out.   It is sometimes also difficult to know when others are unintentionally bringing infectious contaminants into the home while I am recovering.   This phase starts this week - even as early as Monday or Tuesday.  So we thought this would be a good place to keep you all posted on the recovery of this phase of our lives. 

We need your faith and prayers!

Love, Jeff and Terri
