Houston Monday Morning

Hello everyone, Joe & I made the trip safely. We came thru some rough weather, but God was watching over us. We came across 2 accidents, but we made it fine. We are up this morning getting ready to spend the evening at the hospital. Keep us in your prayers as we are hoping that God will grant us a miracle this time. We love you...Joe & Sandra

Packing for Houston

Hello Friends...I am packing tonight for our trip to Houston while Joe has gone over to the Horse Sale to see everyone. I'm feeling a bit anxious over the trip and the tests that Joe is going to have, but God has helped us so far... and we're expecting Him to keep on helping us. By the way.. You know I've been telling you all that Joe has been eating well (right?)..
He had to get out some of his bigger pants, the 36's wouldn't snap! Our intentions are to leave early in the morning....so please keep us in your prayers. Love you all....Joe & Sandra

Monday June 16 at Home

Hello again...Please forgive me for being so long in updating the blog. The last trip to Houston was a bit rough. We had problems at the hospital (Bloodwork not being faxed. Didn't get thru with chemo & back in motel until about 1:45 am.) When fueling up on the way home...I accidentally got sprayed with gasoline (someone had left the pump locked open). Thank God....we don't smoke. Anyway..we made it home safely, stinking, and tired. Now for the update: Joe is to be re-evaluated. Cat Scans & X-rays June 30th. Pet scan July 1st. We should get results July 2nd from Doctor Phan. The Physicians Assistant said it would be great if he is ready for chemo-radiation. I asked, "What if he is ready for surgery?" She said that would be even better. I'm asking all of you, "What if they can't find it? What if it's gone?" Oh, how I hope God will work a miracle for us. By the way...Joe is still eating well and hasn't lost any weight; still praising the Lord and enjoying his salvation. Please keep praying for us ....We love you ....Joe & Sandra

Wednesday Morning @ Houston

Good Morning Friends, Thank you all for your prayers yesterday as we made our trip. We arrived safely last night around 8:30 pm. We stopped for our evening meal in Baytown, TX at
Cracker Barrel (that ran us a little late). We also want to thank all of you that have signed our visitors list to let us know you are checking on us. We'll try to update when we get back to the room tonight (if not too late). We are thankful for our friends......Joe & Sandra

Monday Night @ Home

Hello friends, Joe's bloodwork was good today, so we will be going for another chemo treatment this Wednesday. Please pray for us that we will have a safe trip. We both really dread these trips, but we do have a lot of friends praying for us...and that really helps. Joe still has a good appetite and is swallowing well. He still isn't having any pain. In these things, we are blessed. The chemo treatment is scheduled for 5:30 pm Wed. & if they can't work us in sooner, it will probably be around midnight before we can get back to our motel. If it's not too much to ask...please pray that they will work us in sooner...so we can start home early Thursday morning. Love you all......Joe & Sandra
