We were in the final stages before having the biopsy when it came to their attention that Fred takes aspirin every day for his heart disease. Fred needs to be off aspirin for 5 days before they can do the biopsy. Now we are scheduled for Monday morning. Yes, we changed our plane tickets again to Wednesday, December 5. Fred is scheduled for his every 6 month body scans, on December 19, so we will be flying back to DC on the 17th. That is if we get home by then.
Our plan now is to go to Skip and Sandi's for the weekend. They called again last night making sure that we understood they have a place waiting for us at their house.
We need to contact our Alaska support team (dog sitter, house sitter, chicken sitter and military health insurance people) and let them know the latest changes. We are blessed to have so many people willing and able to help us.
Fred is feeling good. The cold is almost gone. He would not know that there is any problem if it weren't for the blood work. But that is they way it has been through most of this cancer adventure. The PSA is going up, but the numbers are no where near where they were this summer.

Hi Mom and Dad,
Please let us know if you need anything. We love you and are keeping you in our prayers. We will call you tonight.
Love
Shane, Kristi, Kelli, Daniel and Dakota
Thanks again for keeping us all posted. I appreciate it so much! Have a great weekend with Skip and Sandy and stay rested. Love ya!
Good to finally get to read your blogs. They are very informative. Katie reminded me of the website.
Sadie is doing well. She seems a bit homesick at times. Then we throw the frisbee and she perks up. The shock collar has helped. She really sticks around and comes when she is called.
Enjoy each moment that you can- it seems that you are doing so. Except when 23 vials of blood are flowing out of your body, Fred! You've had much worse, I'm certain.
God's Blessings be on you,
Marni
U.Fred and A. Marie,
Mom and Dad gave us your blogspot and we throughly enjoyed seeing your blog as well as the website for the bed and breakfast!
We just wanted to let you know that you guys have been an encouragement to us by how you have been handling all your struggles. We are thinking about you often and will be praying for you as well.
Grace and peace to you,
Jeremy, Macy, Hope, Caleb and Hannah Ketcham
Just a quick hello and a good-night prayer before I head to bed.
Love to both,
Mary
Thanks for keeping us informed of your ups and downs there. You all are on my "almost daily" prayer list. Your lives of trust in the Lord through difficult times are an encouragement for many, more than you could guess, I'm sure.
May the Lord continue to bless and use you for His glory!
Gaytha
