Ronnie's Birthday

For 18 yrs. Dave n Lisa celebrated Ronnie's birthday with Ronnie together on the 18th of Feb., but today they only have fond memories left of him.They cannot touch him, can't hear his voice, can't see his face. Joy and sadness mixes together as they sadly miss him, but joyfully think of his celebration in heaven today. Please remember the Loewen family today....grieving is so painful and takes lots of energy. 

Torry is still doing fine in Tijuana, and they are looking forward to leave there Friday evening and arrive home Saturday about noon sometime. -Tina RF

doing fine today

Torry has a rough night behind him, but today he is feeling fine again. Apparently he ate something last night that was bad for his stomach. Torry seems to handle the treatments very well, which Dave's are very grateful for. Thanks for your prayer support. Please keep on praying, it is no small thing for Dave n Lisa to have to be away from home again. -Tina RF

update

Torry is doing well with the treatments. He enjoys going for walks in the mall and also tries to keep caught up with his school work. The hours he needs to be at the clinic for treatmenst seem long and boring. The test they did on the polyps was only to check what kind of treatments or how strong Torry needs.

Dave n Lisa and Torry are all excited about the visitors they are expecting tomorrow evening. Reynald and Irma (from Oasis) and one son about Torry's age are going to visit them for a couple days.

Dave's are planning to come home on the 23rd of this month. -Tina RF

Visiting the Children's Home

I talked with Lisa this morning.This afternoon Torry gets to visit The Shining Light Children's Home in Tecate. Mrs.Annie Kornelsen is going with Dave's.

Dr. Bautista says it's very important that Torry gains weight, so he is encouraged to eat anything he wants.He has gained 3 lbs. already. Dr. Bautista is not around for the weekend, so it will take till Monday to hear about the test results. Torry says he feels well and energetic.

schoolwork

Dave says Torry is doing very good. He took all his school books along and got a lot of school work done yesterday. He is brave about the needles also. Today sometime they should receive the test results from the pulups. Gladly leave comments on the blog, or email them personally. That means a lot to them. -Tina RF
