If one did not know of dad's condition they would be shocked to learn of the challenges he has endured and the current ones he is embracing. We keep waiting for the hair loss, nausea, fatigue, loss of appetite, and headaches that are supposed to accompany radiation and chemo treatments. So far so good, prayers are powerful.

Dad has a great team of doctors; his Neurosurgeon, Neuro-Oncologist, Radiation Oncologist, and Cardiologist are definitely gifted in their individual areas. Even though our Father in Heaven has blessed each of these professionals with knowledge, guidance, and wisdom we know who the master physician is.

Dad's appointments with members of his team quickly fill up the weekly calendar but the most important appointments of all are when we communicate daily with the Lord. Each new day is evidence that with prayer strength follows. Dad's physical strength sustains him as he goes from appointment to appointment, dad's mental strength sustains him through the toxic effects of radiation and chemo, and dad's spiritual strength sustains each of us as our lives are being redefined.

Mom and Dad have enjoyed receiving cards and messages of love; they are read daily. Thank You. Please feel free to leave a comment or message for mom and dad as you visit this site.
