Hello again. We've survived another first day of school for the kids. We went to Universal Studios last week for a few days and made it back Sunday evening just in time for the kids to get back to school all rested and ready to go. The trip was a lot of fun. Mark fared pretty well. He was a little tired with all of the walking and heat, but loved some of the rides. He really loved the Spiderman and Simpsons rides. Mark's parents and 2 of our nephews went with us and it was a lot of fun.
Colton loved his first day of 4th grade and Calen had his first day at Jr. High today and seemed to be very happy with his schedule and all of his teachers as well. Emily also moved up to her "big girl" class in preschool. This will be the last class she'll be moved to before the transition to Kindergarten next year, so she was excited that it was her "first day" as well today.
Mark is enjoying the time off of chemo. He wanted to go for a walk tonight. He is trying to build up his endurance for the upcoming surgery. He gets some abdominal bloating and discomfort, but is doing well overall. He just really has no stamina and gets fatigued very easily.
We got our letter from Blue Cross/Blue Shield again denying Mark's surgery. What a nightmare. That is always the last thing you want to be worried about or think about when you are sick and in need of medical care. I just don't understand them, but I guess I never will.
Continue to keep Mark in your prayers as always. September 4th will be here before we know it. God bless!!!!

I am somehow able the post again- the Lord works mysteriously, especially with respect to computers.
We have followed your challenges with concern. Please know that the prayers continue daily for you and your family. And I thank you for your witness in this trial.
God Bless the Bertus family.
