We’re sorry it’s been awhile since the last update, but with the addition of radiation everyday and then the usual physical therapy, massage, Dr. appts. both in CR and Ia. City VA, along with the usual duties of juicing, trying to find time to catch some short naps, fixing meals, and food shopping to name […]
An unexpected Answer
A new update just to let you know what we found out about Joshua’s hip problem. Rehabilitation didn’t want to deal with it since they didn’t order the MRI so they referred it back to our oncologist who then sent the scans over to the radiologist. They decided that they have to go by the […]
Go Team Josh!

Ups and Downs…Such is Life!!
Just a quick note to let you all know both the ups and downs of our last 2 weeks. We’ll start with the ups. Since Joshua developed this hip/groin/leg pain that can be severe at times, we’ve had to pray for miracles to allow him to do the things that are important to do. Saturday […]

Never a dull moment!!!
I wanted to drop a line or two about Joshua’s physical condition right now and what we all can pray for. Also to let you know what he’s up to, besides sleeping his life away. (side effect from Decadron withdrawal). Before I do that, however, I want to add our thanks to Bobby, MaryAnn and […]

Joshua singing “Great is Thy Faithfulness”
I mentioned in an earlier post that Josh would not be singing at his fund raiser. Well, in the hours and minutes before the concert I was able to successfully pull the audio from our wedding video, which has Joshua singing “Great is Thy Faithfulness.” It ended up working and was a perfect way to […]

Wrong Again…Concert Date
Well, I may have succeeded in making my entry short but evidently I still have the date wrong for the concert…Sorry! I need to just let everyone else handle that and concentrate on my responsibilities. Lately I’ve been doing good to just keep up with all the doctor appts. and get out of bed…haven’t felt […]
Brief update…Really!!
Just wanted to let everyone know that we did stay home from Chicago this week because of Joshua’s sleeping/tiredness issue. We see the physicians assistant tomorrow and are also checking into an a-pap machine as we’re thinking sleep apnea (which he was diagnosed with in Chicago) may be the culprit. The med (Decadron, which hypes […]
New week, new challenges, new blessings!!!
