You and You Alone

Howdy Folks-

Looks like we are going to try and get Dad home by this weekend. YEAH!! He has about had enough of that place, and he wants to come home. Mom has checked to see what kind of help she can get at home. We are still checking on how much of that insurance will approve. While it will be tough on her, she is ready for the challenge! We are looking forward to having Dad back home. Please pray for a smooth transition!! We are also trying to make a decision about doing more Chemo. Dr. Loghin originally said that we were not going to do anymore because she thought it would hurt him more than it would help him. However, when Dad bounced back from the meningitis, she told him if he regained his strength, and wanted to give it another shot, to call her. Please pray for discernment in this area. It is a very tough place to be. Do you do more Chemo, and run the risk of complications? Or do you not do Chemo, and therefore do nothing to stop this tumor from taking over? Not an easy decision to make. We appreciate your prayers so much as we continue to travel this beaten path. While these decisions are hard, God is in control and we trust that no doctor, chemo treatment or decision that we make will control Dad's future.....Our Lord has full power and control and He is faithful. One of my favorite scriptures is:

Jeremiah 29:11.

For I know the plans I have for you, Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, Plans to give you a hope and a future.

Lord, thank you for loving us more than we can fathom, and more than we deserve. Guide us in the days ahead as we seek your will, and seek to make the best decisions for Dad. Thank you for the hope we have in you and you alone.
