Last time I blogged I asked for prayer for Addie's orthodontist bill. I am happy to report that God supplied the whole amount through two generous gifts from others. Praise the Lord!
Life continues to keep us on our toes. This summer, less than a week after I shared about Addie's braces, Josh was diagnosed with testicular cancer. He had surgery on July 30th, and has been recovering well. He had some scans that we were hoping would be completely clear. They were not. They showed two nodules on his lungs, and a lesion on his kidney. The good news is that the two nodules on his lungs are small. The doctor said if he were a healthy man and they showed up on an x-ray, he wouldn't be too concerned. As a cancer patient though, they were something to keep and eye on. The lesion on his kidney is most likely benign (the doctor said he is 95% sure) but again, we care keeping a close watch on it. This coming Monday he will have repeat scans, and Thursday we will know more about what they find. Won't you pray with us?
Now, we just keep busy with normal, everyday life. Josh has switched back into the Student Life Department from The Buildings and Grounds department here at the Bible school. I continue to plug away with updating information in the database here at the school. Soccer season has just ended for Josie's team. Josh coaches for the school's team, and Emma was the assistant coach this year.
We have many late summer and fall birthdays that have been a lot of fun. Everyone is growing up so fast!
Josh and I at one of his appointments. Even though it is a doctor's appointment, it is still good to get some one on one time together. A doctor appointment date!
Josie turned 13 and we celebrated with a fun sleep over!
Jonah turned TWO! Where did my baby go? Jony loves running around and keeping up with his brothers.
Happy birthday to this guy! What a year 40 was. He had meningitis and cancer diagnosis in one year. Here is for a less exciting 41!
Ezra turned 4. We went camping the weekend of his birthday which made for an extra fun celebration!
