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

Wednesday

I have not posted in a while as there really is just not a lot to pass on. I am feeling okay and just passing time waiting for this new immune system to get stronger. We are anxious for warmer weather so I can get out of the house, I am getting a little cabin fever. Elisabeth has been battling with a sinus infection over the last several weeks and has not been feeling very well but seems a little better today. She had a swim meet at the Y last weekend but had to come home she just can't get air, unfortunately she needed to swim in it to qualify for State so it looks like her swim career is over. We really enjoyed that and will miss it. Tomorrow she is traveling to some schools in Wisconsin with the jump rope team doing some performances I think this is her 8th or 9th year doing that they are fun to watch, hopefully she can breath allright. We saw in the news today that one of the guys who was in the hospital with me passed away we feel real bad for his wife she is a nice lady and Penny and her had talked a bit while we were on the transplant floor, he had come in a week after I did and never was able to come home. Makes you remember how very fortunate I have been and grateful God saw fit to make me better. Next weekend the guys on my Hockey team are throwing a benefit game for us I sure appreciate and miss those guys they have worked real hard can't wait to get back on the ice next year. Hope all of you are well. Special prayers to Stacie our receptionist at Webber Metals who is due to have a baby next week.

  1. Elisabeth's career isn't over--she can join her brother's and nephew in the Iowa games and bring home the gold :-)
    Pam used to go to our Thursday morning Bible study and is much in our prayers after losing her husband.
    We are excited to attend the benefit and trust someone will be videotaping for you??
    Looks like the temps are increasing just in time for you to escape this round of cabin fever. Enjoy a nice walk, but remember, ICE is for skating NOT slipping and falling (Rich fell on the paper route this week).
    Love, Nancy for us all
