3 Days Til We Leave :)

Goodmorning Everyone...

I just wanted to update a little on our 'going's on' before we leave for Minnesota. We have just been packing, preparing things, etc. Running last minute errands and such. We are still excited and nervous but confident in our prayers that God's will be done. It is such a relief for us to have Him to lean on and turn to. And of course all of our spiritual family, physical family and friends too. The love and support from everyone means sooooo very, very much.

We were happy to put together the sheets explaining exactly what Allison's health problem is and the expectations for the Mayo Clinic trip. Several people don't have access to the internet or for whatever reason just liked a piece of paper explaining it better. I will say that we have been informed of a website for people with health issues and treatments, etc. so I will most likely in the next few days create this same blog there. But when I do I will post the new link here. The new site, Caringbridge.com, allows people to make comments easily, send notes, etc. It will even send you an email when I update the website saying there is a new update if you sign up for that. Plus I can get a few pictures on that one too.

I was going over our schedule for all of Allison's appointments and testing and such. It looks like we will have an answer about surgery no later than Wednesday afternoon. So that will be good.

Well I best go get some more done. Allison's legs are hurting a good bit today so she is resting right now. She didn't sleep well last night because of the pain.

I would like to ask you to remember the family of Bob Harber in your prayers. I know his daughter Nancy Picogna really well. He was diagnosed a few weeks back as having what was thought to be a benign mass in his intestines. It was decided Monday that it needed to be removed. They did surgery on Tuesday and it was found to actually be stage 4 cancer (colon I am assuming) that has penetrated the walls of the colon and is found to be in several places throughout the abdomen. This is such devastating news. Please pray for them all.

Have a blessed day...
Love,
Jennifer
