Off To Florida Soon!

Mike and Judy are planning on traveling to Florida to see Mikie in a couple of weeks. They are taking Kayla and Austin, the grandkids, along to visit. Hopefully a change of scenery will do Mike some good.
Mike's pain has gotten worse and his pain pills and pain patch have been increased. Judy said at night she can hear him moaning from the pain.

He won't know until sometime in July if the cancer is better, worse or in remission. We are praying for better and remission. Mike doesn't look like himself any longer. He is extremely thin.

We just continue to ask for prayers and lots of love for Mike.

Sunday Activities and Pain Increases

Yesterday was a busy day for the family. Our daughter was baptized and then after lunch we helped Mike & Judy get their yard sale items down to my mother-in-law's house. Next weekend is the annual yard sale in my MIL's neighborhood. It was a beautiful Sunday and it was a great day to spend time together.

Mike is ornery as ever and was in a good mood yesterday. His pain is getting worse and he has had to increase his pain pills from two a day to four a day. He is also wearing a morphine patch. He has been having severe pain in his ribs and back and Judy thought maybe he cracked a rib carrying two 50-lb. bags of sand up to the swimming pool. He had tests done and they found that he didn't crack anything.

Mike said his iron levels have went back up some. He seemed to eat pretty good at lunch yesterday, too.

Testify to Love



All the colors of the rainbow
All of voices of the wind
Every dream that reaches out
That reaches out to find where love begins
Every word of every story
Every star in every sky
Every corner of creation lives to testify

For as long as I shall live
I will testify to love
I'll be a witness in the silences when words are not enough
With every breath I take I will give thanks to God above
For as long as I shall live
I will testify to love

From the mountains to the valleys
From the rivers to the sea
Every hand that reaches out
Every hand that reaches out to offer peace
Every simple act of mercy
Every step to kingdom come
All the Hope in every heart will speak what love has done
