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

Good Reminder!

Thank you all for praying! Today was a much better day. The doctors changed Lance's pain medicine and it seemed to help the pain without putting him to sleep all day! The doctor in charge of the whole clinic was in today and wanted to know if we knew how unusual Lance's stem cell match is. He said he has been here for 30 years and they had never had a family match up like ours. To have three sons not only match but to match perfectly. He said they had gone beyond the normal matching to the really detailed and they matched perfectly! He was so excited and went through all the genetics with us. To see the excitement in his face was such a reminder of how we felt when we were told the boys had matched and what a miracle that it is, the doctor was so excited to see something he had never seen before! Such a good encouragement today and reminder once again of who is really in control in our lives!! ---Penny

Such an encouragement especially since they started Lance on what they call "Steak In a Bag" (IV nutrition) tonight since eating is not working anymore.

    I'm guessing that "steak in a bag" isn't the same as "shake and bake" steak :-)

    I thought it was steak and shake. It was wonderful to be together at the chapel lifting you guys up in prayer last night. I hope you feel His presence. He is Awesome as you say!
