Rough Days

The last couple of weeks have truly been rough. But we make it through each day - sometimes wondering how it was possible. God's mercy and peace have sustained this family. We give Him the praise and glory for that.

John is doing very poorly, we now have a hospital bed in the living area for him to be in. It is unclear all that is really wrong, but he sleeps a lot, has discomfort and is generally not present with us. It is very hard to see him so not himself - our John is not here right now. We only hope and pray that he will be restored.

We have no news on Chris and the "something" in his lungs. He was suppose to get a needle biopsy but was to high a bleeding risk so now they are talking a more invasive procedure. That seems to be higher risk to me - but... it is all in God's hands. God already healed this - so we claim that victory. As you can imagine the weight of all this is often very heavy - crushing really. However each day is a new day, and somehow through it all we know that God loves us and that He is good. We put our trust in Him. No matter the outcome, we just hope that we have served Him well and kept the faith.

Hi Dawn...this is Katie's mom. I was wondering why, after the surgeons in LA removed the whole tumor, John is not getting better? If you have a PPO insurance, can't you take him to City of Hope or the Mayo Clinic and get some help? Just an idea. I pray for you and your family.

I thought the dog got me up last night, but I know it was God to intercede for your family and others who are hurting. Don't know what 2-4am looked like in your home, but you were being taken to the Lord's throne in prayer. We love you guys!
