not alot of new medical information to update, i have 10 more treatments and then i'll be done with the radiation. hopefully, i will be able to complete them without interruption and be done in a couple more weeks. i have limited mobility from the surgery and skin burn and some of the other indirect effects of keeping my arm dry and elevated. it looks like i will need to undergo some physical therapy in order to regain full functional use of my right arm. we may be going to georgia for a week following radiation for some really alternative medicine, and then its a waiting game. waiting for our property to sell in an effort to pay for further treatments.



this season is providing an excellent object lesson in "Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything." i am overwhelmed with what i am facing, and the prices my wife and children are paying. i have exhausted my own strength and wisdom and resource, and i can honestly claim that i am grateful for the perseverance that is being developed. i am looking forward to not lacking anything! i appreciate everyones continued prayers and support and the fundraisers and other creative gifts that we have received.

I found your site through Greg and Jenn (barenakedfamily)
Gosh, what you are going through is tough ... I am so sorry. This life, it's messiness and all the uncertainties feels like too much at times. Great attitude in your thoughts about the object lesson about trials. I pray strength and wisdom from God's spirit will flood you.

What you daughter sent out to her friends is priceless.

You, your wife and family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

"I have called you from the womb, from the body of your mother I have named your name. . . . Does a woman forget her baby at the breast, or fail to cherish the son of her womb? Yet even if these forget, I will never forget you. See I have branded you on the palms of my hand" (Isaiah 49:1, 15-16).
