A Sunday visit from President Meng

July 23rd, 2007

This afternoon President Meng, Greg and Casey from Huisong came to visit, bringing lots of treats including some wonderful fresh fruits, breads and breakfast cereals (a bit hard to find here). Their kindness and concern was very touching. We are very blessed.

Tonight we had our “last supper”, as Jim will have to fast for nearly ten hours tomorrow because of his first spinal stem cell treatment. No food for four hours before, lying flat without moving for six hours afterward. I may have to go buy a Snickers (yes, they have them here) and dangle it from his IV pole as incentive to be good!

We’ve stuck close to our room this weekend so Jim could rest. There’s a terrific electrical storm outside our window tonight, with crashing thunder and lightening. The windows are rattling.

We feel everyone’s love, strength and support as we face what tomorrow will bring.
