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

Tuesday

We have not posted lately as there really isn't a lot going on right now. (Thats probably good) I go to the Drs. on Friday for a lot of tests, Bone Marrow, DNA, and some others I can't remember they seem to run in to each other. I am feeling pretty good still get tired pretty easily but am really doing quite well. Elisabeth spent most of last week in Chicago with her cousins and had a good time, they went snowboarding and to a dance where they all wore clothes from another era. (like George Washington era) Long gowns and they danced the dances of that period. Lori made the dresses for the girls with a little help from cousin Kevin. They had a really good time the people brought in a chef and he made a very formal meal, they all had dinner before the dance it sounded like fun. As the week went on several of the kids got sick so we are hoping Elisabeth didn't pick up anything, she is wearing a mask in the house just in case. Last Sunday our Grandson Gavin swam in the State Meet in Marshalltown, he is 8 years old and swam in 4 events he ended up taking 3rd place in the butterfly, 8th place in the freesyle, 9th in the backstroke and his relay came in 8th. He was one of three swimmers to qualify for regionals in Minneapolis so that was pretty exciting. We watched all day on the computer they had it live, He also got to carry the banner in the parade of athletes for the Dubuque team. My Dad and Mom left for Mexico yesterday and they e-mailed last night that they made it , the place they are staying in is really nice. They are in Riviera Maya first time to this area for them, they like and go to Mexico a lot it was 84 degrees when they landed and sunny. Hope all is well at your houses.

  2. Glad you are continuing to do well. That is so cool that you were able to watch Gavin's meet online (and how can he possibly be 8 years old already?! argh!!).
