Distractions Are Good

Good distractions are great!  Our good distractions left this morning.  It is sad and I am missing them terribly already.  There is no replacement for wonderful friends who love you.  Walt and I have many wonderful friends right here near to us.  We get to see them all of the time and for that we are so grateful.  Long distance friends are so special because you don't see them enough and when you get to see them life is good.    Sharon, Peggy, Meegan and Bailey were so helpful in many ways.  Mentally, emotionally, physically (they mopped, vacuumed, washed, planted, swept, cleaned, etc.) and especially spiritually.  While they were here we got to have our granddaughter Madison too.  What a hard worker she is.  We also have the blessing of having our daughter Amanda close.  What a help she is and especially when she brings George (who hauled away our dump stuff), Austin (who cleans out the chicken coop) and Thomas and Gavin who just make us smile and sometimes laugh hysterically.
We got some good news from the doctor Monday.  We finally found out where Murphy is.  The esophagus spans the space between the top of your throat to the top of your stomach.  Murphy is at the top of his stomach so it shouldn't impede his airway should it grow.  We love our doctor.  He looks at us sideways sometimes when we tell him some of the things we are doing to get rid of Murphy, but he knows he is there to only tell us if we could be doing something detrimental to Walt's overall health.  So far so good.
I have found some incredible information in all of the research I've been forced to do.  Here's a tidbit that I don't think many know.
Salt...........Our bodies need salt, but not the stuff in processed foods or regular old table salt even if its sea salt.  By the way, all salt comes from the sea.  What our bodies need is the Real Salt that is mined from ancient deposits that are full of trace minerals that help our bodies thrive (and don't raise your blood pressure).  Walt gave up salt a year ago because he was told that its just not good for you.  Now he has to get used to the salty flavor again because this is one of the things that he has to have on the cancer protocol we are following.  He needs all of those minerals to build his immune system.  Who knew? We have 25lbs coming.
Since I last wrote here Walt has made it to two meetings, Sunday and last night.  He gets tired, but is always happy he could get out to get his spiritual food.  Yesterday Andy and Folsom came by for a very nice visit.  We are looking forward to having hospitality at our house this coming Sunday after meeting.  Walt talked with his two brothers last week.  He says its like no time at all has gone by.  Thanks guys.
Thanks for all of the prayers and well wishes.  Theresa, thanks for the olive oil..........we are set for life.
We love you all.
