Both she and JohnD continue to make us so proud with their
really wonderful school reports, and all of Micaela’s hard work paid off with
her final average being her highest yet!
Micaela, Mom and I went to the Merensky Mother Daughter Day this year.

On another note..... Ken’s appointment with a local audiologist has confirmed what we have
been struggling with for some time. He
needs hearing aids. So he has been fitted
with very small and incredibly smart little devices, that have given back to him
sounds that he completely forgot existed!
It took about two weeks for him to get used to having these things
inside his ears, but we are all so proud of him for persevering. The bird songs, the crickets, the sound of
tires on the dirt road…. And yes even the sound of bubbles (from diving into
the reservoir on a hot day, having forgotten to take them out!!!) are all “new”
to him. Best of all, he can hear us when we speak!
In November, I got a call from JohnD’s Oncology
department Sister, to let us know that our beloved Dr de Jager is going to be
retiring in January. Our next scheduled
appointment to see him would only have been in April of next year, but we
decided that we wanted to head back to Pretoria again to go and bid him
farewell and to thank him again for his incredible gift to us. He gave JohnD a very thorough medical
examination. We are so very blessed to
let the world know that our JohnD does not require any further follow-up appointments, and Dr de
Jager was happy to say that we can classify JohnD as cured. His files will remain in the Oncology
department archives, should any future enquiry need to be made, but we can
close this chapter in our lives! God is
merciful, faithful, and He is GOOD! All
honour and praise to HIM.
