A surprise finding!

Jerm has been sleeping a lot lately at the Center. He slept yesterday for a couple of hours and today he slept several hours. So at least he is getting some sleep, he was absolutely wore out today. He was going to write on the blog today but the computer at Siteman wasn't working so he is hoping for tomorrow.

My brother Dale and my niece Maranda came to see him today! Jerm was really glad to see them! We always tease Jeremy because since he was little he has always said OOncle Dale. When they left today he said it was so good to see OOncle Dale, of course, we still tease him about that.

Dale was looking out at the Garden of Hope that Jerms chair overlooks and then he asked me, "Did you all ready buy a paver in his honor?' I said no, why, and he said someone did, it is right there, I got up and looked and I said, that is another Schwentker, that doesn't say Jeremy...BUT when I looked again, it did say Jeremy Schwentker. Jerm was too tired to look, so Maranda took my camera out to the patio and took a picture of it. I think Jeremy's guardian angel, a.k.a. Grandma Schwentker bought it. I don't know if she had anything to do with the placing of it or not, but it is in the perfect spot, right in front of his favorite chair. I don't know how long it has been there, but....anyway, I have never been accused of being real observant. I will write more tomorrow.

This is from Deb diZerega, she tried to get it on the blog and gave up so she asked me to post it

Hey Jeremy - I tried putting a comment on the other day and of course, it was not cooperative. Hope I have better luck this time. You are at the light at the end of the tunnel. I know it might not look like it at the moment but trust the Lord that he will carry you through the valley. We all have hills and valleys in life journey and in the scheme of things, we'll hope this is a small valley.

Glad to hear the Schwentker family has made such an impression on the siteman chemo room. It's not a great place to be but as long as you're there you might as well pass on your gifts of family, support, faith, encouragement and caring. You will continue to be in my prayers as you recover from all the chemo. The Lord bless you and keep you.

Love you, Deb diZ

Jeremy,
I just tried posting something on here - hopefully it went thru - if not - I just wanted to let you know that you are in our prayers and we wish you well. Sounds like things get cranked up a notch this week. Good luck with everything & God Bless - press on & expect to win.
