Update Nov. 27th
From an email from Julie:
Jere continues to remain comfortable with the medicines he's taking. We also found a wonderful young woman who is a physical therapist and lives here in town. She comes up every day to massage his feet and legs and is helping to keep the edema under control.
Today we went to the regional convention to elect delegates and everyone applauded when we walked in. It was a very heart-warming moment.
He's losing weight rapidly, however, even though he is eating regularly and well, albeit not a lot. The doctor says this is the result of the matastisis. As a result, he also has much less energy and sleeps a great deal more. Last week we had more blood tests done and will have the results on the doctor's next visit the 7th of December - the day that Ali and his girlfriend Ilka arrive.
He remains positive and "tranquilo" and now looks forward to emails.
With warmest of love
Julie

Dear Jere and Julie,
I have been following the postings on Aria's blog. I'm so glad to know Jere is up and out to convention, etc. Thanks for the updates and the pictures. I think of you often, remember good times in your lovely home, and also remember you in prayer.

Thanks for the update Julie,
Hope Jere is feeling better and enjoying this time of year in Costa Rica. It was always my favorite.
Lua is going to CR on Christmas eve for a few weeks. Let us know if you need anything.
So glad the Baha'is honored Jere as they did at convention. He is loved by so many people. A sign of a life well lived.
Much love and prayers going your way,
Chela
