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

Friday's Update

Want to thank you everyone for all the encouraging emails and cards!! It is such fun for Lance when the nurse brings him mail or for him to read the emails. That really is the best way to encouraging him right now, that and all your prayers!! We've had a few people call to see about visiting but the doctor was just in and said Lance's white count is at a critical level right now, which is about 0, so he has no way to fight infection at all. So for now it would be best not to come. Doctor says only healthy immediate family at this time. Lance's counts are expected to stay at a critical level for awhile now but that is all part of the process to hopefully get him better. Not fun but neccessary! His address here is: Lance Hall, Room 7092-7RCS
c/o UI Hospitals and Clinics
200 Hawkins Drive
Iowa City, IA 52242

P.S. Do to the overwhelming requests from most of my friends Dr. Heckmann has informed me he can no longer write prescriptions for Kisses he's just been inundated. (Really Quit Calling!)

    Isn't it great that e-mails and phone calls don't have germs!! Glad to hear that you find these communications so encouraging, as we have NO intention of driving OUR germs down for a visit :-)
    I imagine these next few weeks are going to seem like years. Maybe you can look at it like a pregnancy as you wait expectantly for the delivery of new life.
    Love, Nancy

    Oh darn...I was hoping for one of those prescriptions. I really do think family should be given priority. :-)

    Glad the pain meds are working better. So wish we could be there with you guys...but we are praying.

    Hello Lance and family. Just a note to let you know that we are thinking of you everyday and are praying for you all. You do whatever you need to do to get healthy and back home, we'll see you then. And by the way since you are having your steak in a bag I'll eat a little extra for you at the Webber christmas party this morning! Wish you could be there!
