Tough Times

Beez goes in the hospital for her surgery tomorrow morning for placement of Ommaya reservoir ,http://patienteducation.upmc.com/Pdf/OmmayaReservoir.pdf. She will in the hospital for a week of chemo treatments beginning her 2nd round. Joshua is home for Thanksgiving and will be staying with her at the hospital this week. We had a wonderful pre-Thanksgiving celebration this weekend with our family even though it was intertwined with Dr. visits and pre-op meetings. We have a clearer update to give everyone regarding our meeting with the bone marrow transplant specialist and will do so in a day or two. We had some really good news and some really sobering realities. We are coping, and being sustained by Gods grace and tender mercies. We all hurt for Beez having to go through this and we thank you for for the prayers and expressions of love. She is holding on but still hurts physically and emotionally at times. Please add our traveling prayers to your list as Christopher travels weekly back and forth from Birmingham, Joshua back to MS next week and of course Beez and I a couple times a week to Atlanta. A million thanks and blessings be returned to you all.
