we survived...

we were not sure we were going to make it through the weekend without another hospital admission but after a few adjustments to medication (we needed to find that perfect dose that keeps him comfortable without being in the toxic "zombie-zone") we think we finally got it where it needs to be.

his leg pain in radiating down into his knee and he has quite a bit of swelling around the knee...this is something new. should be interesting.

you will all be glad to know that the tree is up and the christmas shopping has started. i actually bought three gifts today (that makes a grand total of 4) and felt pretty good about it.

tim needs to be in hershey at 11am for his first radiation treatment. then we head over to see the oncologist...say a prayer that we make it through monday. the sit down with the oncologist has us both a little uptight. we know that all the cancer docs have been talking about tim and now it is time to find out what they are thinking.

we will be in touch.

thanks for checking in

I have no words that haven't already been written, so I will just tell you guys that I love you...but Jesus loves you far more.
I don't understand, nor do I claim to. But I DO know---and will stake my life on it---that God is working this out to His purpose.
Praying continuously...

We spent a lot of time in prayer on Sunday Night for Tim, about 1/4 of the night. Even drew up a list of hour-by-hour prayer times for men to pray for your family. 6:00am-6:00pm. Kara and I signed up for 9:00am.

We've never stopped praying for you and your family.

By the way, this blog is an incredible testimony. I went back and read the earliest entries. Leaves one speechless.

You know, I wish this cancer would just step out of his body for one minute and stand in front of us so we could slap the stinking evil out of it. There, that's something I haven't written before. (It's from the book of Debiticus)
Stand strong buddy!!


love ya!!

Odd how the cancer seems to rear its ugly head each Christmas time. But thank God for Christmas! The gift of Jesus gives hope and meaning through the toughest that this life can bring. Hold fast to Him guys.

love ya!

You do not know me Tim but we both worship the same God. I am one of many who prayed for you Sunday night, and will continue to pray for you and your family. You are in our thoughts and we pray the Lord's blessing and healing power come to you this day.
