This week has been nice and quiet. Nothing unusual happened. It's hot; hotter than where my parents live in Florida, and that can be really hot if you're out and about here, because in Florida there's air conditioning.
Bogdan has been keeping track of days with circles on our white board. He filled in today's circle grey, because it was just a regular (good) day. Tomorrow's is black, because we're leaving, and he's sad about that. But after that, the next circle is connected to a drawing of a boy with a huge smile, holding a paint brush by a blob of paint: art camp!
Yes, we're gearing up to go to Kyiv for my next Keytruda infusion at the cancer clinic, and the timing is great, because all our kids will be involved in art camp here. It's a day camp, but it goes morning until evening and includes all three meals, so all they have to do at home is sleep. Jaan will be running the sound system and taking care of technical stuff. Raia is a counselor for the little kids. Asya and Bogdan will be happy campers.
Tomorrow Will and I will travel. Monday we'll be at the clinic. I don't have to be hospitalized this time, but they don't want me to leave Kyiv right away, so we'll spend the night and next day with friends there. Tuesday evening we'll get on a train to be home Wednesday morning. Again, we have regular tickets for the midnight train, but Will wants to exchange them for first class on the earlier train, like last time, if possible.
Thank you again for all your support and prayers!

Glad you had a quiet week! Sometimes, those are good! (: And, as we continue to pray, we will be praying for your travels, the next treatment, the children at art school and at home, a nice visit with your friends in Kiev and, of course, your healing and strength for both you and Will! We praise the Lord for how He is working in so many ways! We love you all!
Bogdan's calendar makes me smile. We are in full agreement with all Julie wrote...plus we add our love and prayers.
Bogdan seems to understand planning! I know camp will be fun for all and help you knowing they are engaged in something that is so fun. Safe travels!
I've been praying for you constantly. Happy 2nd infusion!
I’ll be praying it’s a great week for your kids. I know the timing of that makes you happy. And praying for you & Will now in your travels and infusion.
We can hardly go outside so we will pray that you have cooler weather! Looking forward to artwork postings from camp.
How nice that the timing corresponds so well that the minds of your children will all be occupied while you travel. I'm continuing to pray regularly here, and I hope that the second infusion was a success and that your energy levels respond quickly so that you can comfortably engage with life when you return home
