New News

I am not sure where to start. Good thing for computers. I think I have deleted my first sentence like 4 times. I think I will start with the good. We have the most awesome family and friends ever. We just spent a wonderful day at the lake with friends, food, fun and lots of SUN. The day before was church and lunch with family and swimming with more family. The night before we got to have family visit for the night and on Friday, guess what? Supper with more family. You guys mean more than you can imagine to us. You have been the light in the storm over and over again.

And so, we call on you yet another time. (Gosh, not sure how we will ever repay you!) But we are in need of some big prayers. You may have heard that Mark had a CT scan last week. It appears that that nasty "C" word has come to visit again. I say visit as we do plan on this being temporary! And if it knows what's good for it, it will make a short stay! I hesitate to go into too much detail as he will have the very definitive PET scan tomorrow. Yes indeed, you know I will update and fill in the gap tomorrow. In a nutshell, he has several areas showing up on his CT scan that appear to be metastasis from his original cancer. There is a chance they could be something else. We will see if the same areas appear on the PET scan tomorrow. Appointments are in the works at Baylor Dallas and in Wichita Falls. I will find out more on both of those tomorrow.

I guess our struggle now is not only in getting the awful news, but also in knowing exactly what to do about it. Specifically, with doctors and facilities just to start. I would ask that, in your prayers, you would ask for Him to lead us only to the best. I am not sure I can say that we and especially Mark are prepared for another fight, but we know that in time God will give Mark the strength to kick this thing in the booty yet again.

I know I am leaving you with a lot of questions, but I will post tomorrow with a question and answer to be a little more thorough. Also, I know many of you are more facebook people than blog people. I (unlike Mark) am not real facebook literate. I think I will continue to keep the blog separate from facebook. (Your right, because I really don't want to learn anything different right now. If you know of somebody who checked the blog before, please mention that they might return to the blog for their updates.

With love, Missy
