Ruth has been doing great for a week or so now. Two weekends ago Ruth and Bob were able to travel to Moab to enjoy the fall weather. It was a perfect weekend spent strolling around town.

Thursday Ruth’s niece Jennifer (who was in from out state) and nephew David came up from Denver to visit, help around the house and David and Bob enjoyed a fall bike ride together.
This past weekend started off with having a few friends and Ruth’s sisters Edith and Frances and Frances’ daughter Allison that were in town for the weekend over for dinner. Everyone enjoyed catching up with old and new friends and meeting our family. As I said on Friday night you know Ruth is feeling better if she is entertaining!

We had a wonderful weekend with Frances, Edith and Allison catching up, visiting and spending time with each other. We all know this weekend was a gift from the Lord as two weeks ago when they made the reservations it was unclear as to what Ruth’s condition would be.

Ruth had blood tests done yesterday and will have her 2nd chemo today. Her hair is falling out and we will shave her head tonight so back to the Jane Fonda wig. She is overall getting around better, sleeping more soundly at night and has more energy than me during the day. She hopes to return to school part time next week depending on how she is feeling.

Three weeks ago when Ruth was feeling so bad all she wanted was to feel good, normal one day and she has felt good since 2 Saturdays ago. Our prayers have been answered and we are so grateful for every day.

As a family we are making an effort to share our success with our friends and family of the RAVE diet. We are juicing every day and doing our very best to adhere to this change in our eating and lifestyle as we truly believe that it has been successful in the past with others, with us presently and will hopefully provide others with hope and a positive change in their life for the future. Bob has been very passionate about this and has brought about much awareness to our family, friends, and club community. Ruth has been adhering to this change for a few months now and we attribute her feeling good most important to prayers but eating well, support from family and friends and our wonderful community.

If you have any questions about the RAVE diet Bob would be thrilled to share more information about it (most of us can attest to his enthusiasm for this)! He would also be willing to share some of his special juice mixes with you too.

Once again thanks for all your prayers, support, love and encouragement during this time.
