We had a great Thanksgiving. As this is a time of thanks I would like to express my family's gratitude to all our friends and family who have helped us in this difficult time. Since we enjoyed Thanksgiving lunch at my Aunt Lucy's, I want to take this opportunity to single her out. Lucy .... thanks for sleeping on the couch when Angela did not want to be alone. Thanks for bathing her, rubbing her feet, driving the kids to preschool, shopping and the list goes on.... As I am writing this ... and trying not to cry..... Lucy is in the driver's seat of our Expedition and I'm in the passenger seat updating this blog. My sweet observant son Christian, just handed me a tissue from the backseat. The sitter could not make it today, so I get Kat to myself. We just dropped Angela off at PT; and we're bringing Alex and Christian to preschool.
Angela is doing great a PT and her radiation treatments. She asked me to post a Kudo for Mike Stuart, her other radiation technician at Mary Bird. Both Mike's have been very caring and patient to help her through the radiation treatments.
The holidays are a bittersweet time for anyone in our situation. I can tell the whole weight of the situation is starting to wear on her. She is doing her best to keep up the "can do" attitude .... but with Kat's B-day, Thanksgiving, Alex's D-Day, Angela's B-Day, Christmas, my B-Day, New Years ...it is kind of like a holiday marathon for us. Anyway please keep praying .... all I want for Christmas is a miracle.
We're pulling into preschool..... got to go.

In the imortal words of one of our generations best bands...Journey..."Don't stop believing..." I can only imagine how difficult it is to continue to stay upbeat and fight, but the journey and the fight will reward you. You will be rewarded with love, support and friendship from people and places you never imagined; strength that you never knew you had; stronger family ties that you didn't think could ever be any stronger and a miracle that will bless your life and the lives of many other people. Know that attitude, faith and love will conquer all. Keep the faith and fight the good fight. I know you can!!!
By the way, only having met David once, I am very greatful and happy to know that you have such a wonderful husband. You deserve it!
Take care, I am praying for you!

Hey Angela (one of three that hit the cover of the LSU catalog) and David,
Oh how I would do anything to lessen your scary, difficult and unknown road you are traveling!! I cannot imagine the gut wrenching times you are experiencing...but know that you have many many people storming heaven for you. It is through suffering, that miracles occur. I pray that you are seeing miracles daily!!!
Be watchful, stand firm on your faith; be courageous; be strong. 1 Corinthians 16:13
I am praying for your strength every minute of every day!!!
Here is your story for the day...
A young boy had just
gotten his driving permit.
He asked his father,
who was a minister,
if they could discuss his use
of the family car.
His father said to him,
"I'll make a deal with you.
You bring your grades up,
study your bible a little,
and get your hair cut,
then we will talk about it."
A month later the boy came back
and again asked his father if
they could discuss his use of the car.
His father said, "Son,
I'm real proud of you.
You have brought your grades up,
you've studied your bible diligently,
but you didn't get a hair cut!"
The young man waited a moment
and replied, "You know dad,
I've been thinking about that.
You know Samson had long hair,
Moses had long hair, Noah had long hair,
and even Jesus had long hair."
His father replied,
"Yes son,
and they walked everywhere they went!"
Angela..I wrote my note from yesterday on the French Market site b.c. I could not get on this site for some reason.
Have a good evening...
Love and praying hard for all of you.

Angela and David,
Again we can not imagine your experience, our hearts so hurt for you. Just know that the miracle IS on its way and if there is ANYTHING we can do, just call. I can keep children and drive! Cooking is not a good thing.
Lord,
I lift up this precious family to you right this moment. Give them all the peace that passes all understanding. Wrap your arms around them moment by moment. In Your precious name, I pray.
We love all of you and wish we could do more to help.
My life's Scripture is: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, lean not unto your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths.
Proverbs 3:5-6
Forgot to sign AGAIN!

Love and praying for you each minute!

Hey Angela...Hope your Saturday is going alright. Just finished watching the LSU game...now I can breathe again. You see, I am in TN territory. Every where you go, it is Orange. I had my LSU shirt on and went to Target, boy did I get the "look".
A loyal friend is like a safe shelter; find one, and you have found a treasure. Sirach 6:14
You have many friends from across this country with one thing in common, we are all praying for you and your family!!
Here is your joke for today...
What did Adam say on the day before Christmas ?
It's Christmas, Eve !
Praying and thinking about you!!
Love,
Lowry
Hey,
Hope you are having a Super Sunday!! Today at church, our Pastor talked about Hope. Hope for today, Hope for the Advent Season and Hope for the future. I know that you and your family are holding on tight to HOPE!
How many reindeer does it take to change a light bulb?
Eight! One to screw in the light bulb and seven to hold Rudolph down!
With this being the first Sunday in Advent, I will leave you with this verse:
Wait for the Lord and He will make things right. Proverbs 20:22
We are not only waiting for the Birth of Jesus, we are also waiting for your miracle!
Love and thinking of you,
Lowry
P.S. Can someone post on the next step since you are finishing the first round of treatment this week. Thanks!!!
