CA 125 up but so are spirits!

Ruth is doing well and maintaining her strict vegan diet. The refrigerator has transformed from a typical American fridge to all organic and is filled to the brim with fruits, vegetables and many different things that will hopefully help get healthy again. The freezer is filled with frozen fruits and veggies too- we are all excited to be eating healthier!
We are celebrating Father's Day up at Sylvan Lake State Park- which is only 15 miles from our front door.
The CA 125 (indicator of cancer activity) count was up from 160 to 291 (higher numbers are bad) which we are discouraged about, but she has only been on the diet and the alkaline water for a week so hopefully things will start to improve.
We are so blessed to visit with family and friends this summer, we appreciate your prayers, support and advice. We remain optimistic in this battle and are overwhelmed the outpouring of love and concern that is demonstrated over and over again.
