For those who haven't heard the news re: Jaycee



Dear Team,

        We are writing to share some exciting news that will also necessitate a change in our upcoming schedule. All of you know what has been happening with Jaycee and her surgeries; since Jaycee’s 1st surgery last May, we have been seeking a second opinion from a surgeon in Minnesota. Last week, we received a call from this surgeon with some new information regarding the mass in Jaycee’s cheek. While we won’t go into detail in this e-mail, after much prayer and counsel we have a great peace that this is the direction the Lord wants us to go. All this to say, we have cancelled  Jaycee’s upcoming surgery in San Diego on the 29th of January and we are going ahead with surgery in Minnesota at the end of February.
        This also means that we will be postponing our deputation trip to San Diego on Feb. 10th through March 1st and we will re-schedule that trip for some time in the future after Jaycee has sufficiently recovered from her surgery. We will keep you all apprised of the new dates that we will be in San Diego.
        We are so grateful to all of you who have prayed specifically about Jaycee’s medical care these many months; the Lord has certainly answered with a greater “Yes!” than we ever thought possible with this new surgeon in Minnesota.
        Currently, we are all healthy (which is a great praise!) and we are doing everything in our power to stay well until the surgery at the end of February. One prayer request that we want to leave you with is our transportation from Idaho to Minnesota for the surgery. We are trying to decide whether to use a private organization (small planes and volunteer pilots) (where weather delays are possible especially during the winter months) or a commercial flight (germs would be a problem, especially with the flu that is going around). We know that God will continue to give us wisdom in this whole process.

        Thank you for joining with us in rejoicing and in prayer!

Love, Tammi, Rodney, Justice and Jaycee

HERE IT IS!

Well, we finally did it! We started a blog to keep people up-to-date on our lives both here and overseas (when we eventually get there). We can share pictures and tell people what is going on by posting our information on the blog. This means no more mass e-mails :) People can subscribe to the blog and then everytime we post something, it will be sent to you automatically as an e-mail (at least, that's the idea, if we can figure it out). We hope this works as a good communication network to stay in touch with people. There is also a way for you to post comments on our blog.

ITS A BOY!

Tammi Lynne and Rodney Kent Dyrud had a baby boy last night Sun Sept 28,2008 at 11:46pm. His name is Justice Kent Dyrud; he is 8 lbs, 20 1/2 inches long and so far the health baby we (Tammi and I) have been praying for. Thank you for all of your prayers. Here is one of his first pictures. I am currently working on getting a video posted.

Spring/summer has arrived!

My first drink out of a big boy cup at almost 20 months old My first goatee..................... well, more like chocolate ice cream :) Today is our last holiday before the end of school. It has been in the 80s this weekend so we've started (finally!) putting away our scarves and hats and mittens and pulling out our shorts and tank tops. On Friday we went on a field trip to downtown Sherbrooke. We did a scavenger hunt where we had to ask people on the street (in French of course) to give us directions to certain buildings in the city. We were in five different teams and each team had different questions. Then we all got together at the end of the morning and shared our results; it was fun :-) We are also in the process of planning our trip back across the US at the end of June. We hope to see many family members and friends on our way back to California.
