Thank you for visiting Oot's website. Our family will be using this website to keep everyone informed of updates and prayer requests for Oot's journey with cancer.


This is his fourth time having cancer. This time he has cancer in his tonsils, throat and lymph nodes. He will be having treatments in Sioux Falls for 7 weeks, with intense chemo and radiation. He and his wife Becky will be staying in an apartment during the week, through the hospital, and coming home on the weekends so he is able to rest more comfortably.  We appreciate the prayers.

Journal entry by Jamie Lyman

Hello Everyone! 

 

It’s been a while since a post has been made on this site.  A little update on Oots, he is doing well at Royal Meadows, he is a little lonely these days due to COVID, but overall he is doing OK.  Big Birthday News - He turns 79 on Monday, July 20!!  We are so grateful to celebrate another birthday with him.  If you feel compelled to bless him with a note, you may drop it off on the table in the entrance at Royal Meadows or mail it to Royal Meadows (1400 7th Ave SE, Sioux Center, IA 51250),  attention Oots Altena.

 

Thank you for your continued prayers and support.  God Bless and stay healthy!

Jeremiah 29:11. "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
