Good evening.

David had a 'regular' day today. He did his schooling and then played games. He really needs to clean his room.........Anyway; tonight is his Teen Bible Study. He really likes it! They even feed the kids before class. He told me that he really enjoys going; I am sooooo glad. This is the first time he has had an opportunity to go to an 'age-appropriate' Bible study. I am so thrilled that he really enjoys it, too! They make it fun, too. They give the kids raffle tickets for wearing a special shirt, for bringing their Bibles, and for doing the lesson. David has the whole Bible downloaded on his iPhone, so he always has it with him. He is even real diligent about doing the work daily, along with his school work. Such a great kid. Have I told you that before? He really is a fantastic kid, and we are so proud of him.

We are starting to get a bit of 'scanxity' going already. David has scans on October 9. I feel such pressure with his surgeon appointment on Tuesday, then scans the next week. We are not sure how things are going to go, time-wise, but it is all in God's hands. I mean, if he has to have surgery on his knee, can it wait until after scans? I mean, it kinda has to. The scans need to be done at rather specific times. He is classified as 'high risk' to relapse, so we want to make sure the scans happen when they need to. Please pray with us that everything works out the best way for David. Thanks.

Please continue to pray for Sammie. Her pain is increasing, which is expected, but not good. She is scared, poor thing. I don't blame her. I guess the pain is only going to increase as she gets closer to losing her fight. Her hospice upped her meds, but she is still in a lot of pain. Thank you for praying for her.

Not much else to report. We have to get ready for bed; Bryon has to be at work tomorrow at 5am!! Thank you for all your prayers, love, and support. Thank you to whoever deposited money in David's account. You have no idea how much that is appreciated. We have another overnighter on October 9, and the money is greatly needed and tremendously appreciated. I pray God blesses you 100-fold for your generosity. 'Thank you' just doesn't seem adequate.

You all have a good night tonight. God bless you. We love you.
