Good evening. I hope tonight finds you healthy. We have had some absolutely beautiful days here lately. It has been extremely windy~~but we like the wind. Jeremy even said there was a little 'tornado' at the DMV yesterday. He said it picked up a camper shell and damaged a couple of vehicles. Amazing. I saw a dust devil yesterday, but not a tornado. The wind has calmed down some now. And we are supposed to have snow in a couple of days.

David has PT again tomorrow morning. He is not looking forward to it; but, as usual, he will persevere and do what he is asked to do. I just cannot believe the courage and bravery of this child. He amazes us daily. I am not sure I would have been able to handle everything that has been asked of him. These children (the ones going through cancer) totally amaze me. They are true heroes.

I want to thank each and every one of you who keep reading this journal. Thank you for caring about and loving us. Thank you for understanding that this is far from over. This is a battle that we will be fighting for a very long time. We have been told that we can't even use the word 'remission' for 5 years of David being NED (No Evidence of Disease). So we are aware of a long journey. So you are going to be praying for David for a long time. I hope you don't mind.J

There are some other osteo children going through some really tough struggles right now. I ask you to please pray for them. Their names are Shane, Sammie, and Keagan. Keagan just had scans today (he is 15), and the cancer is throughout his entire body. They are trying some chemos on him; but they don't give him much hope. He is very scared, of course. He lives in Washington. Sorry, no website for him. The other children's sites, if you want to visit, are www.caringbridge.org/visit/sammiehartsfield and www.caringbridge.org/visit/1shane. Please keep them in your prayers. Thank you.

Pastor Larry and Chris, thank you so much for the care package for David. The swimsuit will come in very handy! And he loves all the other gifts in the box. He was very excited when he saw inside the card! Thank you so much for showing your love to him (and us). It means a lot more than you will ever know.

Well, gotta go. You all have a good night, and I will let you know how PT goes tomorrow. Thanks again for visiting. God bless you all. Sleep tight. We love you.
