accupuncture today

Yes that is correct, Fran went for an acupuncture treatment today. Genie (Fran's sister in Richmond) has a friend who is going through similar circumstances as Fran and she went to see an accupuncturist? and was helped. sooo, long story shortened, Fran went today and the pain was relieved while there but afterwards not so much, but the person said it will probably take several treatments to get any relief. So she goes back Monday and next Wed. and hopefully she will experience some relief from the severe pain from the shingles.

Thank you all for your prayers,we still have not heard anything from the Dr. although supposedly the Dr. here in Roanoke sent an e-mail last week and we are still waiting for it to arrive.

We love you all and cherish your friendship.
Sincerely,
Charlie and Fran

Sorry for delay

I apologize that I have not updated you on Fran's condition for a while now. We have been waiting (not so patiently) to hear from Duke regarding whether Fran is in remission or exactly what her status is. We still don't know. The correct tests were not ordered and now we are waiting to hear from Fran's Roanoke Dr. Duke did let us know that some of the tests came back and they were within the acceptable parameters. As soon as we know something we will certainly let everyone know.
There doesn't seem to be an urgency anywhere but here.

Fran continues to deal with her shingles. The rash is almost completely gone but not the pain. At times the pain is quite severe but Fran is a trooper and continues to push on during the midst of it as best she can. Please pray that the pain will subside soon!

Natalie and Jordan are in with us this weekend so we are enjoying a house full. Again I apologize for the delay but we don't know anything.

Sincerely, Charlie
