Great Results and Awesome Weekend!


Okay we will start with Friday - Josh did an awesome job on his MRI - we had our original MRI Tech from the very first MRI. That was fun to share and catch up on what was happening.
Our visit with our neurosurgeon Dr Yundt shared that the spot was there but it had not grown - so he called it a nothing. Josh is now released to run, ride a bike and swim. We are just praising the LORD - He is awesome and we are praising HIM! We are now on the 6 mos MRI check ups - we are scheduled to go to Seattle in August - and then start the 6 mos after that.
What a great start to a fantastic weekend. We then headed to our retreat put on by the Elisha Foundation - www.theelishafoundation.com - and boy were we pampered. There were only 5 other families and a multitude of volunteers to help. The picture is Josh and Sarah and our family helper Clint. Clint is a music major in North Carolina and came out here to help just for the weekend. He was a blessing to our family!
I could go on and on how awesome this weekend was for our family - it was a blessing to us all. Sarah shared today that everyone there was family. They truly were. We did not get a lot of sleep, but it was so worth it. God met Bruce and I at the retreat and through Pastor Paul sharing the book of Job. We have grown spiritually, emotionally and bonded again.
Your prayers are such a blessing to us, we don't know how to thank you for all the love you have shared with us. Thank you!
To the Elisha Foundation and all the volunteers, this weekend was what this family needed and we are refreshed and ready to finish out the school year. God is so awesome!

Another MRI Coming Up!!


This is a picture of Josh and Sarah with the awesome Sparrow group from La Pine Middle School - as I know so far they have raised over $4000 for this family - what a blessing they are. You will see a great black and white poster of Josh and Captain - I will post a copy of that later too.
So the title is another MRI - yeppers this next Friday the 25th is another MRI. They will measure the spot again and compare to see if it has grown. If it is not growing then it is scar tissue. That is what we are praying. Josh is doing great, his comment it did not grow from November to March - then it won't grow more.
After the MRI we are heading a way for a family retreat through the Elisha Foundation - and boy does this family need it. Josh is doing good - just not able to focus like he used too and we are still adapting to the changes.
We have appointment for Seattle in August - looks like the 22nd and 23rd. We will get to see Dr. Ojamen too! They recommend that we start Josh in counseling here so we are going to do that when school is out - only 17 more days.
Besides that we are enjoying the summery days and playing with Captain outside. Thank you for all your encouragement, prayers and notes they certainly are helping this family stay focused on Jesus. God Bless You all!

What has been happening!


Time is flying by for us - as you can tell for my lack of posting. Josh has been busy managing the boys track team. He has been running some - but it is great to see him being so involved. His grades are still straight A's!


We have another MRI scheduled for May 25th at 8:30 - then the results with Dr. Yundt at 11:30. We are then going to head to a family retreat for the weekend. We are so excited to be together and just enjoying each other and the Lord.


Josh is doing great and his postive attitude is such a blessing to us all. We are so blessed. The kids and are talking the third week of June so he can share his joy from the Lord.


Well that is what has been happening with us. Thank you for your prayers, they get us through each day, thank you!
