A lot has happened on the Darren front since the last update, and some of it is really encouraging.
Your prayer has been instrumental in this!
The hospital has given Darren a 10 day break, to have some rest and a change of scene before his next round of chemo and bone marrow transplant begins. A last taste of freedom for a while.
He has spent the last 2 days with his partner, which he says has been a lovely time.
This is great news.
Whilst the pressure on their relationship remains overwhelming, there is still the mutual will to be supportive. She wants to visit him during his bone marrow treatment in Bristol. I thank God for these flickers of hope/love.
As more details emerge (to us), it appears that the motives for moving up north and renting out their house were as much financially driven, as the pressure she was under from her side of the family (to move on). Its good to see the other perspective, though its still no easier to fully understand.
When Darren told her of the support and prayer he has been receiving, she was blown away.
This, he says, marked a turning point in how they were relating to eachother. It was as if a weight was lifted from her.
On Friday, Darren has a hospital appointment in Bath, after which he will be staying with us and looking after our house while we are away. Friends and family will be visiting, inviting him for dinner, taking him to the pub etc, during that time.
Do continue to pray for Darren and his partner. Prayer is starting to transform things for them both and we want to see God's amazing work continue.
