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

Saturday AM

Well not long after we posted last night, Lance's headache got worse and he got sick to his stomach...first time in like twenty years. He didn't feel to well all night but got up this morning and decided maybe a walk would help him feel better. Well that started an hour and a half nose bleed! Doctor decided to give him a transfusion of platelets and shot some Thrombin in his nose (no fun but it works pretty good). If the headache continues or gets worse they will do a CAT scan to be safe but he is sleeping right now so that is good. On the bright side his white count went from 0.4 to 1.8 which surprised everyone, usually you might see it go from 0.4 to 0.8 , he always has done the unusual!! Must be those strong young cells of Nathan's!! We are still waiting for the seg count to come back (the seg count has to be 2000 for two days straight before he can quit getting the shots to help increase his cell growth) as of yesterday that count was still at 0. Thank you all for praying, please pray he gets feeling better today and that the headache goes away and no more nose bleeds!! Thank You!! --Penny

    Glad they stopped the nosebleed. You don't need a repeat of your experience in March.
    The weather outside is frightful!! They even canceled church already.
    Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
    Love, Nancy
