Beholding is becoming, so as You fill my gaze,
I become more like You and my heart is changed.
Beholding is becoming, so as You fill my view,
transform me into the likeness of You.
This is what I ask for all my days:
That I may never look away!
Captivated by You. I am captivated by You.
May my life be one unbroken gaze,
fixed upon the beauty of Your face.

We are continuing to strive forward and my health continues to improve with still many up and down days. With feeling somewhat better these days, I am spending a lot of my better days researching my doctors and our approach to getting me even stronger.

I am challenging my medical team at Mayo Clinic and the National Institute and Health in Bethesda MD to assist us with constantly searching ways to resolve my lung, adrenal insufficiency, eye, skin, bone density and Dopamine insufficiency issue's.

I am researching nutritional diet and supplements to see if there are ways that they also could resolve these issue's....

If anyone has any idea's or suggestions, we are all ears so please feel free to email us or call us with your idea's and suggestions....

I am getting strong enough to hopefully start a rehab program and I am setting some goals; for example playing softball next fall or skiing more then once next winter especially with our new family from German Wilfried, Irene and their son, my non-related transplant marrow donor.

...its still all baby steps but improving.

Madeline and Heather are really always doing well among some usual regular life struggles.

Heather is researching and possibly going to start nursing school (try to figure that one out) in the fall at either Bethel University or elsewhere. She is still teaching private piano lesson's and will continue to through the summer and fall. Heather is still challenging herself with running and is going to run the Maple Grove half marathon this Saturday.

Madeline just had her Gymnastics recital night last week and has her dance recital in early June. Just got her dance recital dress and had her teams pictures taken last week... oh so cute! Madeline is going to be a kindergartner next fall at a local Spanish Emergence school. Pretty soon we won't understand a word she is saying! : 0)

Please, if you have any questions please include them in your journal entries and send idea's and suggestions to our email.
