Radiation scheduled

Today we received word that we would start radiation on Thursday. I never thought I would be glad that barbara was scheduled for radiation. I guess that our lives have changed. We had a good day. Received calls from Uganda Kenya Altamont Phoenix and OKC wanting to pray with barbara and I.
Pray without ceasing and expect a miracle

Today was for waiting. We were waiting on the radiologist to notify us when to start radiation. They called at 5 pm to say they still working on the plan of treatment So we are still waiting. Barbara had a good day. She is having no adverse affects from the chemo
As we were reading the Bible this morning the Israelites had to wait on God to deliver them. So maybe we are to wait on God for a better plan.

Super bowl

Sunday morning. Went to church. Barbara didn't feel good so she stayed home and slept. 1 Peter 5:7 says to cast all your cares on the Lord. Message was about loving others. Got home and leanna had given barbara the poem"footprints in the sand". Isn't that what 1 Peter 5:7 said, only in a different way.

When I got home two friends were in our room painting sayings in the wall. The first saying is "believe in miracles everyday". The second one says " may you live every day of your life with joy" and the third saying says " faith hope love". They also put ladybugs on the wall. Sarah put up yellow curtains. Thanks to everyone helping to relax

The giants just won the super bowl so it is time to go to bed. But one other verse was mentioned in church this morning. 1 Thes 5:17. Pray without ceasing

Please continue to pray for barbara and I as we wait for radiation to start. Also think about someone in you life and say a prayer for them

Slow Saturday

Waiting is not fun. We know the tumors are growing but we are waiting on the radiologist.
Today barbara and leanna went to lunch with church ladies. Once a month they meet for lunch.

David sarah and I went grocery shopping. Then they wrote a contract to sell their house. Contract signed by all parties. I will distribute copies to banker and title company company on Monday. This will take a lot of pressure off david and sarah.
Sarah fixed salmon for dinner and we all watched the movie "cars 2"

Slow day but needed to do something to keep barbara active. People have asked what they can do. At this time prayer is what we need from you

Rainy day

Guess what God is in control. Did you see and feel the rain? For areas that have been dry for so long it was good to see it rain.

Today we talked to the nurse for the radiologist she said that the doctor is working with the surgeon and the oncologist to try to get the right radiology. She said to call on Monday and hopefully she will have a plan.
We know that God has a plan and that there are others in much worse shape. Please pray for us to be relaxed as we wait so that we can honor God in what we do and say

Baylor medical center

Barbara, Sonny, Judy and I drove to Baylor today to meet with
Nuerosurgeon doughty. after reviewing the jan 31 MRI he said that the tumor had returned to both areas in which they had previously been removed. He said it would be detrimental to her quality of life to combine both surgeries. He advised us that we needed to start radiation as soon as possible. He reminded us that this tumor is the fast growing type and we need to start radiation soon.
We headed back to OKC and made calls to dr fink who said we should continue taking the chemo and dr Keole who advised us that they would work on getting radiation started soon.

Pleas pray for speed in starting the radiation. Also pray that we will have patience while waiting.

Remember God is in control and has a plan for our life

Cancer returns

Ok we need prayer. Received a call from the radiologist this morning. He said he can not use radiation on barbara at this time because cancer has returned. We have an appointment with dr Doughty in the morning at baylor medical center in dallas We will probably will have another surgery in 3 or 4 days. This is the fast growing kind
Remember God is in control. He has us with the best surgeons and best oncologist and best radiation doctor. We just praise God for getting us to the right people at the right time.
Barbara woke up this morning having problems with her left side so pray we can get it removed before she looses all use of her left aide.
read psalm 23. God will get us through this
Thanks for the prayers
