"Our Girl" is very sick. She cannot keep anything down and even the simple pleasure of trying to speak causes her to vomit. Having nothing in her tummy, makes it all the more painful and intolerable. This leads the Dr's to believe she has a blockage in her intestine or the cancer has spread to the brain. She is not in liver failure but her liver shows significant damage. Brian called the Dr's in charge of her clinical trial in Santa Monica and they said she must go to the ER and if certain tests were positive she would no longer qualify as a trial recipient.
I wish I could type something else, I begged the Lord to give me something else to type. For now, this what He is giving us. Stand Strong for Robynn and for our Savior who will not fail us.
The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? Though an army encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war rise up against me, yet I will be confident. (Psalm 27: 1, 3)
Pray On!

Shelley, I know how hard it must be for you to find the words to write. You do it for all of us who check the blog daily. Thank you...I imagine this was one of those days when it have felt easier not to write anything at all. My prayers remain steadfast and specific...I wish for Robynn to be comfortable and for her to be wrapped in the love of all of you that care for her so deeply. I pray for you Shelley, that you will continue to have the strength to write, and for Brian, Brady, and Hailey...that they may continue to hear their mom tell them how much she loves them...
Robynn, I will be holding you close tonight - in the special place you have in my heart :)
Love, Kim
Please know that we are praying for all of you and our hearts are so sad for what you all are going through right now. I pray for God's peace that passes all understanding be with you all right now. We are holding Robynn in our prayers for comfort and peace in the midst of this trmendous battle. Our hearts are with you! With love, Jonah's family
Robynn and Family: I continue to send my thoughts and prayers your way. Love and peace.
The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
He leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul:
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name' sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil: For thou art with me;
Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies;
Thou annointest my head with oil; My cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the House of the Lord forever.
I mirror the sentiments stated by Kelly K.---I hope & pray that 'it' hasn't gone to the brain & if 'it' is a blockage in the intestine that there is a procedure that can be done so Sweet Robynn can continue with the clinical trial., take in solid foods again, and speak without fear of regurgitating.
I swear, our hearts are filled with love,compassion, & sheer will power for all that you guys are going through.
We are calling upon God and praying with all our might,hearts & souls that the doctor's will give you news that will ease Sweet Robynns condition & the burden from the family from this not knowing what turns her health is taking.
Strength,perseverance & stamina as you rest & rely on God during this time of upset.
Our love,prayers & faith are with all of you!!!
Jill & Bob West

I remember a beautiful scene from the movie "Pay It Forward". In an attempt to show love and support for a family in crisis, the friends, family, neighbors, and perfect strangers assembled outside of the family's home and lit the night sky with candles. The family was able to see how much of an impact they had had on others and felt the love of so many during a time of great pain. Robynn, I want you to imagine that all of us who pray for your healing are lighting the night sky for you! Thousands of candles burning brightly to show you how much you are loved, what an inspiration you are, and how much hope and prayer surrounds you. Close your eyes and visualize the sea of flickering lights held by faithful friends and family. Our candles burn bright for you, for your doting husband, for your precious children, and for all who share your burden. Tonight I will light the first candle and pass it on...
Robynn
You're in my prayers tonight roybean as you are every night. Love you sweet girl!!!
Hugs and kisses

Hoping for the pain to go away, hoping for relief for dear Robynn and all the family. Thank you for keeping this blog - we all feel helpless, but your honest reports and calls to prayer make us feel like we're able to help somehow. You are amazing.
I am at a loss for words. I, along with everyone else, am praying for relief from your pain and that God continue to hold your husband and children as tight as He is holding you.

Begging for mercy and a miracle...
Robin, you are in our prayers daily, tonight we'll say an extra special prayer for you and your family. Although we've only spoken a few words to each other, I still feel close to you as I've read your blog, pretty much on a daily basis, from the time it was publicized... our girls are also in class together so I get to hear about how wonderful Hailey is regularly (I know she must get this from both you and your husband). I've never written before as I never quite know what to say. I'm normally in awe of your strength and courage or crying from reading all of the blogs and comments from your loved ones or from listening to the songs, You are such an inspiration to so many. I'm hoping to read about your speedy recovery this next week.... You are always in our thoughts, Sara's Family.
I love you Bean. Can't sleep. 2:03 am. You are my every thought. I want to take your pain away. I'm praying alone for the first time in my life....please...for you to just be in peace. You've endured more than any one of us can imagine. You are amazing.
Shelley, Bless you for being strong enough to deliver this difficult news to all those who love her so.

Hi Robynn, it's one of your nurses Lauressa! It was great to see your smiling face tonight :) You are such an amazing, brave, wonderful lady.
You are constantly in mine and my family's prayers. Tonight I will be praying for good test results, no more nausea and no more discomfort.
Much love to you and your entire crew from me, my family, and all of us at Sutter :)
I hope this finds you feeling even a tiny bit better. I pray for you to have comfort and peace and to feel the love and support surrounding you.
Love,
Michelle & Emma
Good Morning~ I’m listening to “My Best Friend” right now. I’m singing along, (thank goodness no one is up yet to hear me) but, one of the many lyrics rings so true; “She’s more than a Woman.” Robynn, I know Brian is reading this to you; and I hope Brian you sing that to her from me! Robynn, I love you so much! You have helped me become a better person, wife, mom and friend. How many of us can truly say that we done that for someone! NOT MANY! You are a gift. Have I told you lately how much you inspire me?
Brian, I know we spoke recently, and I mentioned the word Hero. And as much as we agreed that we wished to let someone else be the Hero and have Robynn being well again, you have been truly the most inspirational. I can’t tell you how much Robynn brags about you, Brady and Hailey. She is one proud Momma and she should be! You are one of the most remarkable families I know. I am praying that the Lord will bless the little sleep you do have. I’m asking that even the 15-20 power naps will seem like you’ve had a full 8 hours of rest! Robynn receives her strength from, and through you. I pray that The Lord keep you strong and refreshed emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually so that you and Robynn can weather this storm. I wish there was something more I could say and/or show you that would give you that relief you so need right now. However, we all know that the only one who is truly able to do that is looking from above. I call to Him now to answer our prayers and give you the absolute peace and comfort you are looking for.
Do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised. Hebrews 10:35-36
Love you friends. We continue to stand, staying strong, and holding on for you. As the song now playing says, “We will make it through”.
Oh powerful Lord,
Please hold our girl!
We all already know yo are,
Thank you for the blessings you bestow upon us all,
and now every one of us is looking to the blessing of comfort you are giving Robynn,
Thank you Lord
Dearest Robynn and Brian,
I pray that this morning finds you both with comfort and peace. I say it again, we know the Enemy is trying to attack you spritually, emotionally and psychically because he knows the GREAT ARMY OF PRAYER WARRIORS that you have surrounding you. Army Goodell, WE MUST STAND STRONG!! I continue to specifically pray and boldly ask the Lord for your body to have rest and comfort and for your entire family to feel peace and strength. Remember Robynn, you are a child of the Most High God and all that you touch will be succesful and prosperus. Say this in your head to yourself. I pray that you have favor in your tests and that the Lord will guide those around you. I give Him praise and worship for the many blessing we have received and I thank him in advance for all that are coming!
Shelly, I don't know what to say. Your words, your diligence and faith are amazing. I pray that you continue to receive the word of God and that through Him you continue to be a witness and beacon of strength and faith.
Stand Strong, because we are holding you up and holding on girl!
Much love and continued faith!
Laugh, Sing & Love,
Kellie Stroud :)
May the Dear Lord be with you all! We are praying with all our hearts for your peace and comfort, and of course, a Christmas miracle. God bless you all!
Thank you, Shelley, for your updates.)
My candle is lit too and I will pass it on!
