Tanner & Robynn

Robynn and I would ask you all to pray for our nephew Tanner (the Blog Dancer). As he was preparing to be the starting right tackle in his first High School football game, he broke his wrist and had to be taken via ambulance to the hospital. My understanding is the swelling is too bad to perform surgery tonite, they hope to set it tonite and perform surgery within the next few days once the swelling has decreased. Please pray that he is granted comfort from the pain he is experiencing and that the surgery is able to be performed quickly so the healing process can begin!

I would also like to ask everyone to say and extra prayer or two for Robynn. Typically the pain and discomfort she experiences comes within days (usually days 1-4) after chemo. Unfortuantely, throughout last night (the night before chemo) Robynn was experiencing such a significant amount of pain, multiple pain meds had to be used to gain her some comfort and help her sleep (knock her out) at 5am. With chemo completed today we are preparing for more days and nights like this, she is already experiencing discomfort this evening that has required her to take meds in hopes of keeping a handle on things. My hope is that the extra prayers lifted to our Lord will ease some of the burden Robynn is sure to endure in the upcoming days and nights.

Thank you so much for all of your support and prayers!

Robynns Adoring Husband!

Oh Robynn and Brian,

I am saying a prayer as I type this. I pray the Lord sends his grace and love and comfort to you all. I got the text from Shelley about Tanner and was not aware of how serious it was. Man oh man...you guys have sure had a lot of turbulent times lately. I also pray that the Lord will bring nothing but sunshine and happy times to all of you. This song..."I Can Only Imagine" is the song that got me through my mom's chemo and everytime I listen to it I am overwhelmed by the Lord's presence.

Love you guys,
Kelly H.

Oh poor Tanner! I'm sure that was a big disappointment for the poor guy. :(

I will definitely say a prayer for Tanner, an extra special few for Robynn and one just for you, Brian, for being such an adoring husband. Robynn is very lucky to have you at her side.

I wear my bracelet and/or my necklace every day. They help to remind me to send a few extra prayers throughout the day.

Best wishes for today ~

Dearest Robynn,

My prayers are always with you, but most especially today will I be asking the lord for his hand to hold yours and guide you along through these rough moments. My family reads your blog each and every day & we are all praying for comfort and peace for you and your loving family.

With love,

Trusting God,

Brian and Robynn,
It hurts us all out here to hear that Robynn is experiencing so much pain. It just seems so unfair...I guess nobody said life would be fair...but gosh I wish Robynn and your whole family could catch a break.....(not Tanner's arm... but our thoughts are sure with you too buddy) So many times through out the day I find myself complaining about the DUMBEST things EVER...and after throwing myself a SURPRISE PITY PARTY and calling everyone I can think of to go on and on and on.....and on.... about poor me..."this is going bad"...or "so and so did this"...blah, blah, blah..... BANG!!!! Robynn steps in and I just think "how the heck can I be complaining? How can I waste so much time focussing on what is just not the way I want it to be?" and in that moment all of my troubles seem so small and petty ....and I am humbled!!
Again, I babble...but Robynn and Brian...Everytime I start to complain today...I am going to stop myself and send up a prayer for you guys! Odds are...a lot of prayers will be going up from here :)
Please Lord, Please give Robynn and Brian what they need to get through whatever it is you have planned for them....Please hold them in your hands and let them feel a sence of your comfort. Help them to just keep offering up these hard times to you Lord. We pray.
God Bless you guys!!

Lord, please pour out Your goodness and lovingkindness on Robynn. Please have mercy and relieve her pain--and allow the chemo to be effective. Please work through the doctors' hands to take care of Tanner's wrist. Please draw him close to you and let there be something very good that causes him to give thanks even in this place of great disappointment.

My family and I visited Long's Peak this weekend...one of the tallest mountains in our beautiful state of Colorado. We said a very special prayer for you Robynn, that you would continue to thrive and that your body would fight FOR you so those happy memories with loved ones can keep on coming. According to my daughter Megan, God was more likely to listen this time. Evidentally our prayers are "louder" the closer we are to heaven.
