belly ache

Pads is still having belly ache that's keeping him out of school and down in the dumps. He's sniping at his family to the point that almost nothing he says is positive regarding them. We're just trying to get to December when he'll be treatment free and, hopefully, he'll recover a bit. We're delighted that this has enabled us to plan a few things, including a visit to the Joshua Foundation flat, and we've booked the Pooles (Ally's side of the family) for Christmas day.
Sadly, the news concerning my brother-in-law Rhys isnt very encouraging. We heard today that the lump under his chin has been diagnosed as a lymphoma. There's an all-Wales panel meeting to discuss the exact diagnosis so from that they'll be able to plan his treatment. At least most of the wait is over for them. It's terrible being in suspense.

so sorry Pad's still low. He soon wont be the only baldilocks in the family however!
He and Rhys will be able to share treatment stories and fears and best of all "underneath are the everlasting arms"
yesterday's choice gleanings was lovely. - stand in His strength alone. the arm of flesh will fail you,ye dare not trust your own. Put on the gospel armour, each piece put on with prayer. Where duty calls or danger, be never wanting there :-)
