Safe in HIS Arms...

Friday, April 10, 2009

My "tweets" have apparently not been completely posting. Twitter only allows "x" amount of characters and my text messages (to twitter) were too long. Sorry about that!

We had some really nasty weather here last night.. a friend of mine had two trees to fall in on their home. Praise GOD nobody was hurt! We're heading over to help out so no computer posts from me yet. (Doing this one on my cell)

Thanks SO MUCH for praying for Zach & our family!!! I'll update more on him later. (They're thinkin he's had a virus that caused the episode) they ran heart tests too, but we'll get no results before Tuesday. CBC showed low white cells, thus the "viral" diagnosis. That'll be confirmed Tues too. (Sending off blood work)

I'll check back ASAP! THANKS again for praying!

I will continue to lift Zach in prayer until you have an all clear on him.

I pray also that your burden is lightened with so many things going on in your life. I know you're keeping your eyes on the cross. You inspire us.

I just read this post and the previous one about Zach. Know that I am praying for a good report with you!

I am glad that no one got hurt at your friend's house. That must have been pretty scary though.

Keep us posted on Zach! Blessings to you!; April 11, 2009 at 12:28 AM

Brent's Story...

Our son Brent suddenly started to complain with back pain in the fall of 2004. He was playing flag football with the town league and loved to roughhouse with his two younger brothers so the pain was dismissed at first. After having him tested for kidney and bladder infections and finding him clear we finally asked for an MRI of his back. A couple of weeks later (the very day of the MRI) we received a phone call from his doctor saying that a tumor was found in his pelvic area. We were asked how quickly we could get him to St. Jude Children's Hospital - we left IMMEDIATELY. Later that same week we got the diagnosis. It was one that we would NEVER, EVER forget. It was Stage IV Neuroblastoma, a cancer of the nervous system. His chances of survival when diagnosed were 1/4 - 1/3. When he relapsed we were reminded there was NO CURE. There was basically no hope of survival... none outside the HOPE we had in JESUS.

Brent fought long and hard. He was a Christian and LOVED his SAVIOR. He NEVER asked "why" or complained. He took each day as it was - a gift from GOD. Brent went HOME to be with the LORD on January 2, 2007. He was 11 years old. If I've EVER had a "hero" in this world.... it would be him.
