The good news is, Mrs. Sullivan and Santos both got to go home last week. Hip Hip Hooray!
I will get to see with my own 2 eyes how Mrs. Sullivan is doing on Wednesday, as my mom and I are bringing dinner to her. Keep praying, she has a long road ahead!
Santos did go home as well and will get his treatments as an outpatient at CBCC 3 times a week. This should continue for at least 3 months. The side effects are very similar to what we saw with Robynn...extreme tiredness, no appetite, weight loss, bad taste in mouth etc:( Please pray that his faith in God remains strong during this very difficult time. I am still helping the family with dinners,groceries etc. Please let me know if you are available to help in any way.
Thank you to all who have helped so far! A Target gift card just showed up from an anonymous soldier...I have a good guess who she is....:) bless you!
Santos has told us over and over how he sees the work of God through the help he has received and asks that "we be blessed a hundred fold"
My Papa will be discharged from Health South, but is not able to return to his home as we all had hoped. This weekend, "the guys" moved all of the things needed for his new home at Glenwood Gardens. "The girls" worked on setting it up and shopping for odds and ends. I will go today and hang pictures and put the final touches together. As hard as this is, I try to find the bright side. The bright side for our family is that my Papa has made sure that no one would have to worry about him financially. As we all know, this can be a huge burden on families and we are thankful for this blessing. Please pray that the sadness that fills his 3 daughters and grandchildren will ease and that we look to Gods unending love and grace.
Brian is still in quite a lot of pain. We feel he has been a little neglected as Papa has required most of our attention. My mom has been cooking for him and I tried to help by keeping Brady and Hailey for a few nights, and had dinner for them, but we don't feel like it was enough. A quick phone call or email might be nice, so he knows you are thinking of him:)
No news on baby Joshua. Oh, Lauressa....
Pray On!

We also have a "gram" who is 95 this year. She also chose to move into a retirememnt facility that will eventually provide nursing home care when necessary. We also struggled with her need to not be a "burden". Gram LOVES, LOVES, LOVES, her facility. She is so social and has so many friends...the nursing staff is so amazing with her. They work with her and for her to be sure that her dignity and independance are both nurtured. We will keep your "papa" in our prayers, as we do all of you...all the time!
Shelley will you let us know how the kids are? I think of them so much. One of your posts suggested that Brian and the kids had moved closer to you all? We keep you all so close to heart.

Update on baby Joshua! Sorry, I've lagged on updating on him :( Well, since I last updated you he's been thru a couple more surgeries and ended up with shunt in his head to help drain the extra fluid building up in his head. This will help keep him out of pain, because extra fluid causes very bad headaches. He's also battled a very serious infection in one of his first shunts. He won those battles!!
Now, today starts a new battle. He starts his chemo regimen today. He is going to be receiving some very strong ones and needs as many prayers as we can all muster. Prayers that his docs and nurses will administer this chemo cocktail with the utmost of care and knowledge of these medications. Prayers to continue giving Joshua the strength and will to fight this terrible disease. Prayers for Josh Sr and Kendall (his parents) to be able to handle all the stress/demands that go along with going through this type of an ordeal.
Please everyone keep this sweet baby and his family in your prayers. Include them in your church's prayer listings and tell your friends and neighbors as well. He's almost 10 months old now and was just diagnosed a little over a month ago.
Thanks again everyone!
