Liberating
Did you hear the storm last night? It kept me awake. While I was tossing and turning I felt hair on my pillow. I could pull clumps of my hair out. That told me my hair was coming out today. I knew in a few hours our kids would be waking up. My sister-in-law Becky would be here at 8 a.m. to use her loving and caring arms for our kids. My Uncle Ken is coming to lay carpet in the basement and my dad is coming to move out our washer and dryer. So at 4 in the morning I decided to shave my head in the quiet and stillness of the house. It’s done. My hair is gone. Not a single tear was shed over the loss of my hair. It’s liberating. I am now one of the millions who are follicly challenged. It’s just hair. It will grow back. 
Yesterday’s IV fluid and steroids helped the nausea. It didn’t take it away, but made it tolerable. It was better than the last round of chemo. This morning I’m not feeling so hot so I’m glad I go back today for more, fluids, anti-nausea and steroids.
Next week I have one more IV fluid, anti nausea and steroid. A bone scan at Holland Hospital to check for cancer in my bones and a blood draw for my CBC’s.
Thank you for your support. The special gifts and food dropped off for us and the kids are great! The communication. Everything. We appreciate all of it. You are truly the hands and feet of Christ.

What a reminder that as you were shaving your head God was sending storms telling of his control and power over your life. I will be praying hard that the next few days are not as hard as last time. It is an indescribable blessing to be on this journey with you. You are simply amazing….your words, your faith, your trust. It is humbling. Thank you.

Good Morning Lindy,
What a blessing and inspiration you are to all of us! Iam so thankful you were not as sick as last time and the other drugs are helping with the nausea! Your faith is amazing and so strong! WE will continue to pray for you and the family for peace, comfort and strength every day!
In Him,
Liz TenCate

I am thinking and praying for you so often Lindy. You mentioned that all your friends and family are being the hands and feet of Jesus but you need to know that YOU are too! Your ability to see hope and recognize blessing during this phase of your life is truly admirable.
My prayer is that in fact the chemo treatments become less bothersome for you and more tolerable. Your family is just adorable! Continue to hold on to your faith and trust in Jesus. You have seen his miraculous works first hand and caring for you can be no different. We are praying!!
19. June 2009 at 08:52
Wow…you are an amazing woman! It feels as though God is walking right along with you…even in the middle of the night! We praise Him for that!
We will continue to pray for good results of those tests and continued calm for your stomach!
Blessings on your weekend….

You are as beautiful as ever to me Lindy. The new haircut brings out the beauty of your face. God is proud of how he made you and is smiling down on you. His claps of thunder was his way of applauding your strength in the midst of your tougest trials. When so many would turn away from Him, you get closer. Keep holding on.
I love you more than ever before. -Your Husband.

I just read my brother’s comment….what can anyone say to top that. The tears are streaming down my face. I am so proud to be your “sister”. You guys are so strong in your faith and you are showing that to so many people. It is so obvious that you know where you’re strength is coming from, not from yourself, but from our God. My prayer is that you have a comfortable weekend, that the twins get over their colds/teething and that you just ENJOY each other. I love you all! Jana
19. June 2009 at 19:10
Wow…. Dusty you have me in tears as well! What a wonderful message. I know that Lindy is so secure in your relationship, but your comments just show the rest of the world how truly in love you are, with a love that only God can give! Your entire family is so special, and our family continues to hold all of you up in prayers! So glad to hear that this round of treatment is tolerable. On another note, Ed’s business partner just completed a victorious fight with cancer and had Dr. VanderWoude for his oncologist as well and had nothing but wonderful things to say about her. Lindy, along with being in God’s hands (the best place to be) you are in hands of very capable people on earth that HE has selected specifically for you! Love you guys lots! Tina

It’s just hair…it will grow back. You are right.
Dusty is also right. You are beautiful and the beauty God has infused in you will not go away but will each day grow as He affirms His active presence in your life and in the lives of your family.

Hi Lindy - I wish you felt good enough to enjoy some of this nice weekend and fathers day but I heard that was not the case. Hang in there, chemo should be done by the time your babies turn 1 and that is approaching quickly. If you need help at night I’m usually available wed-sun starting next week. I could also work something out if you need transportation sometime. Hopefully some good days will be here SOON amd yes, I know my husband is unique. Praying often - take care.
22. June 2009 at 01:30
Hey Lindy - You are on my mind right now and I’m praying that you’re resting comfortably on this hot, sticky night. I hope that your fluids and antibiotics later today provide you with nourishment, relief, and strength!
22. June 2009 at 02:48
Hi Lindy,
Wanted you to know I’m praying for you today as you have your appointments. Praying for you to be more comfortable too. Love, Jana
22. June 2009 at 06:52
Praying today, tomorrow and always. I hope you will have a good day.
