HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!


We are headed to Houston in the morning to spend Thanksgiving at Paul and Dee's house. We are looking forward to a great day with good food, good people and good FOOTBALL!! Mom and I made a dessert tonight to take with us, and we can't stay out of it! It is too good!! Hopefully we'll have some left in the morning ;)

Dad has felt good today, his Physical Therapist came tonight and Dad was up walking! He was doing really well! It was good to see him walking.

We are so thankful this season for God's blessings and His faithfulness. He has blessed us beyond measure and we will forever be grateful. May you have a wonderful holiday celebrating the gift of family.

We Believe!!

GIG EM AGGIES!!
We are praying for a miracle tonight in the big game........
Going for 3 in a row!!!!!

Thankful

First and foremost we give thanks for God's grace, love and the
abundant life that he gives us.......

We are thankful that Dad has fought just like we thought he would-Like our hero....

We are thankful for the fact that Dad is still going strong
16 months later
....

We are thankful that prayer is power and effective.


We are forever gracious to Blue Bell for producing enough Popsicles to keep Dad happy.....

I am grateful that I went 16 months without dropping Dad.....
I am sad to say that streak has ended!
Let's just say the neighbors got a good laugh as I tried to get
Dad through my front door on Wednesday....Dad was laying on his back, in his wheelchair on the ground......With me pinned under him!!!

And we are thankful that there is still a treatment plan for Dad....

The tumor has grown, but we are encouraged that Dad has not had any symptoms because of that growth. We are going back to the intravenous Chemo. He will have two treatments, and then we will go back for a checkup on December 29th. We will see where to go from there. Please continue to pray for Dad's healing and strength. This type of Chemo gets his immune system down, which is what led us to our last stay at MDA with Meningitis. Please pray that Dad will stay free from infection. It is going to be hard through the holidays when we are around so many people. While the holidays are a time for family and friends, we have to be very careful what we expose Dad to. He will be very vulnerable. Let's pray that everyone stays well so we can enjoy this holiday season! We are so thankful to have Dad to celebrate with.....
God is so good, We are thankful that His mercies are new every morning.

Hey gang!

Dad is doing great :) We have an appointment on November 13th for his next MRI. Last weekend Jason, Allan and I were officially on duty so Mom could have a weekend off. It was very much needed and well deserved!! She had a great weekend, and we enjoyed the time with Dad. He continues to keep us laughing!

Thank you for your continued prayers and support! We are praying for another positive report!

We Believe!
