Dear friends, as many of you know, Becka's grandmother passed away Monday night. This comes just a year and a half after her grandfather died. Becka was VERY close to both, so there is a lot of grieving in a short amount of time. Becka is certainly not the only one that feels the loss, however. Yia Yia was loved by many and will be mourned by many. The Durkees have been blessed abundantly with tickets for both Mike and Becka to fly to NH for services, as well as money to kennel the dogs. They have also been on the receiving end of many delicious meals, which is one less thing to have to plan, buy and make. Although life doesn't stop for any amount of pain, God's hand has been there. The Durkees have seen it over and over.
A Mike update: Mike's new headache medicine has not worked at all. There is talk of trying another one as well as running a few more tests. Mike's head continues to pound and bring him to tears. Since seizure meds have been increased, the number of seizures has decreased, although Mike is seizing almost every day still. There is room to increase these again. Becka's body has started to feel the effects of stress as well. She has been fighting migraines off and on for two weeks. Prayers for protection of her health are appreciated. The Durkees did spend a fantastic weekend away with college friends. These friends were able to minister to the Durkees and love on them. They laid hands on Mike as he was actively seizing, and the Durkees felt such love - such sweet tangible love. . . . which is what Yia Yia was - God's sweet tangible love to the whole Kaas/Durkee family. How sweet it is for her to be dancing the streets of gold with her husband today in the presence of her Savior. It will be sweet, won't it?
