John and Mary Yoon, daughters: Mary, age 5, Eva, age 3, and Emma Grace, 3 months
The Yoon’s have been a wonderful blessing to us during my stay with them this week. They made me wonderful breakfasts, John would walk me to the hospital in the morning, show me short cuts through buildings, taught me how to use the Metra train, pick me up at the hospital at night,and bring us food. They love the Lord and are a good example of showing God’s love to others. They have invited me back to stay with them when Neal returns for his 2nd round of chemo starting Dec 27. This is a huge blessing to have my next accomodations taken care of. The doctor told us this week she recommended us renting a place to stay for a few weeks once Neal starts his stem cell transplant (which will be mid January). He needs to be monitored closely for the first 100 days which requires frequent doctors visit after his discharge (his hospital stay will be 3-6 weeks after his transplant begins). The Univeristy provides a list of hotels at a discounted rate (lowest $90@night) but there is not a place like a Ronald McDonald house. John Yoon has shown me a site of students and professors renting their places for winter term (Jan-March) because they are studying abroad. We have another couple of possibilities as well. It’s a big undertaking to basically relocate for 3 months. Accomodations for Collin also need to be made.
Please join us in praying that accomodations can be found easily for us in Chicago and Collin in Bridgman.
On the journey,
Trish
