Tired, Blah - But HE is strong!

Nov. 4, 11pm.

Dear Friends,

We're all a bit tired.  Christine is feeling Blah, and very weak.  Sometimes it's hard to hear what she's saying to me (more so than usual... :0), her voice is so quiet.

Not a lot of food today, some, but also protein shakes...  Nausea has seemed to back off, but her tummy feels "blah..."

Please pray that the Lord will turn this around and let us start climbing out into healing!!!

We're also looking into heading back to the clinic in Georgia if they can help, and perhaps another clinic that's a bit more focused just on cancer, in Charlotte, NC...

If that does happen, it would be in the next few weeks, and it would be better to have her stronger...

We also would need to look into a minivan.  Either borrowing, or buying.  If anyone knows of a good minivan for sale or "rent" please let us know...

Thank you all once again for your support and prayers!  We truly couldn't do it without you!!!!

Love,

P, C, & E

As I just told a friend....  You do what you have to when you have to! When we are weak HE is strong!!!! 

2 Corinthians 12:10 That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

He likes vacuums!

...and playing in the dirt.

He's into tools!

Loves to swing.  Mom got some rays on the porch yesterday!

Nausea....

Just a quick update friends... 10-31 Another rough day today, not much food. We've been petitioning the Lord to send relief of her nausea and to get back to building back up... Please join us in praying that Christine can be free of nausea and start gaining weight again... A long road ahead... We were at 87 lbs yesterday.... Thank you all!!!!

Still a day to day battle...

Oct 29, 1pm

Dear Friends, Greetings all...

Each day has it's ups and downs.  Nausea is a daily issue, but she is fighting through it to get food into herself, and we are working on integrating supplements back into Christine's diet.

A few days ago Christine had a really rough time, with nausea, vomiting, etc...  She's powered through that and working on keeping up her food & drink intake...

We expect to have a Physical Therapist come in today, which will help build muscle & cause HGH (Human Growth Hormone) which will help all around...

It's been nice for me, Dad, to be home full time and focus on Christine & Bambine, (Grandma & I alternate) but days go by and we wonder what happened...  Spent 2 hours last night trying to get Bambine off to sleep.  Lot's of teeth coming in...  Doesn't leave much time for bill paying, paperwork, and keeping you all updated... Once we get her recovering and building up strength and weight I'll start getting back into freelance video production...  If you need a commercial, docutmentary, training video or TV show, please let me know, that's what I do...

World Wide Prayer Map - Click on where you are!

I created a map so you can login to your Google account,  if you have one (Gmail, Google + or Youtube..) and click on the map to add a point where you're praying from.

It's a HUGE encouragement to Christine, 

and a very visual representation of how you all are lifting her up and supporting her in this battle.

If you don't have a google account let me know where you are and I can add your location, with or without your name.....

I would love to have the map covered with points around the world (including Antarctica, Greenland and all the places not filled) so please share with your friends around the globe!!!!

And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Thank God for that peace!  It's truly remarkable!

Thank you all again and again for your support through this time

An update from Christine

Oct 28 9 am. 

An update from Christine:

It overwhelms and moves me to receive your connections with us.

Thank you all for your prayers, your gifts, your cards, your visits, your love, and your care.  

We love and appreciate you all. 

Where did 5 days go?

Hello Everyone,

Well, how did 5 days disappear?  And why am I always typing these updates in the wee hours?

First off, Christine is doing fairly well.  She has been much better the last three + days, with the nausea and the... well, you know - not keeping food down... and is eating more and more solid food..  She had a T-Bone for dinner, barely left us any...  :0

Life continues here at a semi-hectic pace.  There's a lot to be done with 3 adults, 2 cats, and 1 very powerful 15 month old....  Lots of visitors too...

I also left my job last Friday so I can devote all my attention here at home and work on getting Christine better, and more quickly.  She is my primary focus, nothing is more important, except the Lord.

We need to get more nutrition into her, and build her strength and her weight back up, bring back in supplements to help with her immune system, and all the other systems as well.

Perhaps the biggest decision in front of us right now is how to proceed.  We need to find an Oncologist who will monitor her, and then find a treatment that will assist in the healing.

Please pray for wisdom on how & where to proceed.

Again friends, I have to say a very big thank you to each one of you for helping us through this!  God Bless you!

More sooner than later!

Love,

P, C & E

A very special Teddy Bear from a special friend and their Church.  The bear lived at the church for a while and heard all the singing, and prayers being lifted up for Christine.

A protein shake and a smoothie...

Update: 10:40pm Oct. 17-15

I want to let you know that your prayers are working... Christine asked for her "Dark Chocolate" Organic Valley Protein drink (it tastes great) earlier this evening, and then drank a pretty good portion of a blueberry smoothie that her mom made. She's now resting comfortably.

Praying for a good night and more food tomorrow!

A big thank you to each one of you individually!!! Wish I had the time to personally thank you, but know as I read through your posts, and those that hit the like button, I thank God for each one of you. Your comments lift me up so much!!!!! I feel enveloped in Love!

You guys, from all throughout my life, are a special treasure to me, especially in this trial...

Love you, each and every one!!!

Paul

Stopping the nausea & weight loss....

A quick update....

Christine came home from the hospital 2 weeks ago.  While in Hospital the Dr.s didn't give her much hope, and suggested withdrawing the IV's, and letting her go...  Um, NO!  The next day she powered through the extra strong pain meds to respond to the Dr.s commands, and he suggested we get her home...  She improved over the next week...  Using her walker to get herself out of our bed and use the bathroom, and talking as normal...

This week she has started to have a lot of nausea, and not able to keep food down.  She started this week at 95lbs, and now is down to 91.5....

We need to stop this decline, urgently!!!!!!!

Please pray hard for relief from nausea, increase of appetite, and freedom from fear of throwing up.... and stopping it completely...

This has always been about a miraculous healing.  I thought we had been to the edge in the hospital, as Christine asked the Lord to "take her deeper."  I'm praying not too much deeper...

Thank you dear friends for standing with us, 

Love, P, C, & E

Christine's Brother, Matt came down for a visit last week!  So good to have him with us!
