A Good Weekend

Mike had a good weekend! He tried to get outside and do a few things he enjoys before treatment on Thursday. He wanted to take a drive in the Miata with the top down, so we drove to Hot Springs and had lunch on Saturday. He also washed the Miata and spent some time outdoors watching his grandson Drew, play in the pool Sunday. He sat on the screen porch listening to music on his IPOD, and later on grilled out some BBQ. So he made good use of the nice weather and feeling "good" while he could.

We were talking about his pain in his fingers and feet and he told me he really doesn't know if it is getting worse or staying the same. He thinks it may be a little worse because he is needing to hit the pain medication a little more often the past couple of months. But he told me, it wasn't enough to make him want to change the treatment. So, this is a matter I would appreciate your prayers about. I know how badly he wants this tumor gone, but I pray permanent damage to his nerve endings in his feet and fingers won't occur. I know he has quite a lot of discomfort walking, and then that causes other areas of his body to hurt because he tries to make compensation for that. We'll just keep trusting that God will remove this tumor as quickly as possible.

Thank you for checking in on us and lifting Mike and our family in your prayers. A quick update on Matt, Jill & Drew....there have been no garanteed job leads yet. There are still a couple of possibilities, but nothing confirmed, so we're continuing to trust God for an answer for their situation as well.
