The New Edition

So here we are 25 weeks in, now in the 3rd trimester. Our little girl is really starting to get active, kicking left, right and centre. Whenever something nice is eaten there's always action and when dad talks to her she knows it as well. Enjoy the pics!!!

Justin’s Update 16

Hi to all our friends, family and prayer supporters.

We have really exciting news!!!!!

After the last Chemo (No.5), Justin went for a follow up / progress X Ray. We spoke to Doc Du Toit this past Wednesday and he gave us this feedback…..

The radiology report came back clear (that is – she couldn’t pick up any abnormality in the chest area) Doctor Du Toit said because he knows what he is looking for, he could still see a faint trace of the lymph nodes but these have reduced dramatically. At the start of chemo there were about 5 large nodes(tumors) one on the chest being 64mm by 62mm. This shows how much these have reduced in size. Treatment will continue as per the plan set out by Dr Du Toit ….. 12 treatments in total. This is to make sure everything is thoroughly covered. We are so thankful to our medical team around us BUT give all the glory to our heavenly father who does all the healing! We praise and thank Him for the work He has done and is continually doing in both of our lives. How AWESOME is our God!!!

Justin goes for number 6 this Thursday! The half way mark! Yippee !!!!!!! You can see in one of the photo’s attached, Sister Fatima busy preparing Justin’s port for chemo administration. The sisters are experts at this because it can be quite tricky to get the line in the right place each time. The port is a plastic dome which is inserted under the skin near the collar bone. This has a pipe that connects directly to a main vein in the chest cavity. It is used instead of injecting directly into your arm veins which eventually after a few treatments become hard and damaged.

This weekend we were tourists in our own country with Dean & Nicky. Went on the Cape Town topless bus for a tour of our beautiful Cape and then we went off exploring wine farms for a great lunch! Friday we had a picnic with the family at Groot Constantia to celebrate Helen’s birthday. A very exciting weekend ahead with Tim and Renee’s wedding. We pray that Justin is strong enough to be able to enjoy the whole wedding (as he is supposed to be resting after chemo!) Please pray for his strength.

We will be having a thanksgiving prayer meeting at Denis at 6:15-6:45 pm on Wednesday (7^th)  - slightly earlier as there is the monthly corporate prayer meeting at

We thank you for your continued support and encouragement. We feel surrounded by your prayers. God is teaching us so many new things each day and we are excited at the things He is doing through this situation and season in our lives. Thank you for standing with us. It’s hard to express how grateful we really are!

We love you all

Justin and Jenny
