The Hensleigh house was somewhat bursting at the seams for the weekend and it was such a treat to have Michelle’s and Drew’s families with us. We all had a great time – with one exception: Grey, our 3 year old grandson from London took a fall from my #1 horse, Jackson, and suffered a compaction fracture of the right humerus (arm). Traumatic as this felt and as much as we felt bad for him, the sports medicine orthopedist pronounced this to be a minor injury which requires no particular treatment other than a sling for comfort and some minor pain pills! Once again we are thankful for God’s protection from larger calamity despite our careless moments.
On the medical front, Bonnie and I are seeing medical oncologists and radiation oncologists at both Palo Alto Medical Foundation and Stanford today and tomorrow. We hope to be able to choose a course of treatment with a team of providers by the end of tomorrow. And there may need to be some negotiation for authorization by our HMO provider when we have reached that conclusion. Thankfully our primary care doctor has been very supportive and clearly is our advocate in this period of discernment.
So we continue to ask for your prayers that we would make wise decisions and that our trust in God’s will for us would prevail and be apparent to all around us. On the back of my business card is a title, THE HENSLEIGH FAMILY TRUST. What follows is a version of Ps 20:7, “Some trust in chariots and some trust in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God”. Guess you can see where we get when we trust the horses!

Uncle Turk and Aunt Bonnie -
Just wanted to let you know that we are praying for you. You and your faith have been such an encouragement to us in the past. I trust you are being held in His hands 'with a peace that transcends all understanding'
Love from our little lake...
Dear Bonnie and Paul,
As I read your blog I was surprised, saddened and then slowly filled with hope for you and your situation. I pray that God will help you overflow with hope in him through the Holy Spirit's power within you. You remain in my prayers. God bless you and your family.
Love in Christ,
Susan and Les
