Yes we are OK..... Some have called to see if we are ok since we haven't updated for awhile. But our best blogger, the birthday girl was busy!! Lance's parents came Friday evening and were able to stay and spend part of Elisabeth's birthday with us on Saturday, they were on their way home from visiting Lance's brother Troy in Geogia. What fun for Elisabeth to get to see them as well as all her brothers and their families! Lance and I so enjoyed all the kids being together, we just love to watch them all tell stories and all the little ones running around. What a joy!!
After so much fun Lance was pretty wiped out Sunday and went to bed early tonight. He keeps saying it is so worth it to see everyone. Just watching all the kids and grandkids together is such a blessing.
Today I took Elisabeth to Cedar Rapids for a consultation with an oral surgeon and she will have her wisdom teeth taken out Friday (all four teeth are impacted). Wednesday is our appointment in Iowa City with the transplant team and some test so it is a very busy week. We would sure appreciate prayers for wisdom for the doctors for Lance and for Elisabeth surgery. Thank again to everyone for all your love and prayers!! -Penny
Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
First of all thank you to everyone for your thoughts and prayers over the last year. We have decided to create a blog to have an outlet for anyone who is interested in updates on Lances condition a place to come and be informed. The title of the blog "A future and a hope" comes from Jeremiah 29:11, which is a verse that has given our family alot of comfort through these challenging times. Because as my Dad has said, no matter what happens we have already won! I would encourage you to pass on the location of this site to anyone that you may believe would be interested in updates. -Justin
