David is home. However, not under the circumstances that we would have wished for him. Sunday afternoon, he stopped eating. He was no longer responding to questions and he went from needing some help to sit, stand, etc, to needing total help to even move his head. Monday morning, therapy video called me so I […]

Last time there were fireworks, it was New Year’s Eve. I was sitting in the ICU with David and his sister. I was desperately missing our kids, but knew I was where I needed to be. Last night, as I sat and watched the kids playing with sparklers, while fireworks lit up the night sky […]

7/3/2020 Update Y’all have been so supportive and patient while waiting on news of David. I know no one expects me to be updating constantly, but to be honest, writing updates helps me process everything that is going on and it’s almost therapeutic for me. And boy do I need to process things tonight: On […]

6/29 Update:It’s hard to collect my thoughts and write out a summary of what is going on, when everything I know is pretty much second hand information. I can’t see David, I’ve only spoken with him a couple of times, and the majority of information I’ve gotten is from his nurse, over the phone. This […]

I’ve gotten a couple calls updating me on David. He’s stable and for the most part, accurately answering questions. He’s very slow to process what they are asking him, and sometimes is unable to remember the question right after they ask.

This afternoon was truly orchestrated by God and I am so thankful for that. Yesterday my sister in-law insisted that she take our kids […]

6/18/20 update: We had the opportunity to travel to Houston to meet with a melanoma oncologist (Dr Glitza) that specializes in leptomeningeal disease (LMD). It was a wonderful time for just David and myself to be together and to also get a new game plan in place for David. While discussing treatment options, it was […]

Just a quick update for today (6/13). David has had some coughing lately that produces a lot of mucus. The Dr wanted to get it checked out, so David had a CT scan Thursday of his chest. As weird as it sounds, we were actually kind of hoping it was pneumonia, or something like that. […]

Well, tomorrow (6/9) will be David’s last day of whole brain radiation, and can I just share with you how much your prayers have meant to us during the last couple weeks?? God answered those prayers by giving us a mostly side effect-free experience. PRAISE THE LORD. David was a little more tired, but not […]

My heart is weary tonight (5/27) as I think through what to write in this post. Every single prayer and word of encouragement was needed today and we thank you for your outpouring of support! David’s scan results were not good. When the cancer center has a policy of no additional people in the building […]
