We had a great Thanksgiving this year. Despite an illness that is running through our home, all five of us were able to make it to not only to one, but two Thanksgiving parties! It was great to see our family. We were at Dusty’s dad’s house for lunch. It was a great time, but it was different this year without his mom. It felt like someone was missing.
Things have been going okay for me. I’m having a day or two a week where I feel pretty good. Other days I’m anywhere from uncomfortably nauseous to horribly nauseous with a headache sprinkled here and there and a good dose of fatigue.
I’m particularly anxious right now because I have multiple appointments at U of M on Thursday for scans and a meeting with the doctor. I’m having an MRI of my head, CT scan of my chest, abdomen and pelvis and a bone scan. When those are complete I meet with Dr. Schott. Please pray that all the scans are clear, show no signs of new cancer, the brain tumors are gone and that I will have peace about this appointment.
This holiday season seems more special than ever. We have so much to celebrate and give thanks for. I cherish every moment with my family. On the Ver Beek side of the family instead of the adults trading gifts, we give money to a charity or organization. This year we purchased two goats and four chickens for families in Africa through World Vision. I can honestly say that is the craziest Christmas gift I ever gave someone.
We’ve been contacted by a few organizations about bringing our family a holiday meal or toys for the kids. We are very blessed with Dusty’s full time job and insurance. We do not need holiday meals or toys for the kids. The money from the fundraisers people so graciously organized for us, is being strictly used for medical expenses that insurance does not cover. We are able to provide for our family and appreciate being thought of. If you wanted to bring a toy for the kids, please donate a toy to Toys for Tots or a similar organization.
I hope you had a good Thanksgiving too.
Hi Lindy,
I praise God you are able to enjoy a day or two a week. I hope you are able to fill those days with as many blessings as you can. We will continue to pray for great scans. That the Dr.’s will be amazed! I love the goat and chicken idea. How awesome.

Praying for peace and a good report next week! Keeping you and youe entire family in our prayers!
Dear Lindy, It is so great to hear from you even though we don’t know each other. I continue to pray for you and I tell people about you every chance I get so they may pray for you as well. In Christ, Claudia
Its good to hear from you Lindy,Praying that you will have more than 2 good days a week and for peace for you with all your tests and scans.Prayers coming your way!!!

Lindy,
I am so thankful to see another new posting from you!! I always get so worried when I don’t see a posting from you every few days! I think we all just got so used to having something new to read from you, every other day, that when you aren’t feeling well and are not up to writing, that then we tend to think something bad is going on. I hate that I do that! I try to stay positive about it all though, because I know you are staying positive!! You can do this Lindy, I know you can!! You are so strong! 🙂 I will pray for peace about this Thursday, and that travel goes smooth, the tests are on time, and go smooth, and that all the results are clean! I am so happy to hear that you had a great Thanksgiving! You deserve it! Love you!! 🙂
Tiffany
Praying for you each day!
Waiting waiting waiting – I just hate waiting… You have had so much of that to do, and you have done it with grace. We pray you go into Thursday with peace, safe travels, amazing, God Honoring test results and a way to have more than 2 good days a week – even if that means stable, we want you to be able to feel like Lindy. God bless you – Love, Niki
You think that is the craziest gift you have ever given someone? I think you are forgeting the fake snuggie blanket from last year you gave me.
Lindy,
I will be praying for you throughout the day tomorrow. Hoping for great test results and that you will feel peace.
Praying that your nerves are completely calmed and you feel total peace going into these appointments! Praying for excellent test results!!
