becky said she entered a short "posting" earlier today. It has been some time since i last entered one so perhaps i'll give a bit of an extension to the words she typed earlier. Not having read her earlier entry, perhaps there will be some overlap in our comments. here goes- i too will try and keep it brief. Not sure what exactly has prompted me to write, other than, as i stated before, it has been quite some time since my last remarks about all this cancer stuff. yesterday, jordan got readmitted to the hospital for what has been deemed as bad blood reports (cutting through all the medical jargon). he doesn't leave here until he gets three consecutive days of good blood reports. best case- late sunday or perhaps monday. lets not speak of worst case. yes, it "sucks". that is how we describe our mood when things are not not going well; and reports are not favorable; and we would like to use cuss words like shit and damit, but do our best to practice godliness instead. i'm falling behind at work and starting to feel the affects as i ask others to cover for me, or i cancel a meeting, or i drop the ball or i forget to complete some paperwork, or i simply can't make it to the important meetings, etc. And by the way, i couldn't ask for a better staff to work with at Shorecrest. Everyone has been nothing but supportive and understanding. Becky keeps trudging along and lately she has really been picking me up- always rallying to my defense and making the best out of the worst. The target is always the same- what can we do to get jordan better?! that part is simple- nothing. It is all in God's hands, and Jordan is in God's hands. I am way too easily distracted from that simple reassurance and hope. i try and do things or make things what they are not. God and Becky please forgive me for that. Aside from the dimmer (though honest) perspective, there is a call to thankfulness. Today, i am again reminded of how God is doing His healing work through our family and friends "the body of believers". just to list a few (and seriously the list could go a lot longer)
Maggi- "don't worry for a second, we'll take care of it for you"
tami- our kind and compassionate radiation nurse bringing special toys for jordan to discover and rediscover
LIz and Lisa bringing a suitcase full of hospital toys
jenny, stephanie, nikki, and val canceling Bible study to come to the hospital to encourage and love Becky
mom busby- watching the little ones and paying extra attention to all of Sitara's stories, plus "treats"
sister Julie- quiting work early to be availablefor days like these
joe, eric- checking in as always- "hey busby how are you doing with all of this- do you need us to take the kids?"
josh- busby, let me give you some biblical encouragement
renee- "no problem i'll help u out with whatever"
brian and liz- "hey don't worry about luke we got him"
jenny- "sure we'll take tate another nite"
mom thrall- "no problem for me to cancel my plans. see ya soon"
kate- "just calling to see if you need anything"
dad- "we're praying for ya"
PT department- "saw you on the admit list and we just want to help out in any way."
peter and barb- let us bring you some "taste of India" for dinner
Amy- no problem to have Sitara. May lynn is having her birthday party and would love to have sitara celebrate with her
children's nursing staff- they all get A's on their report card
Dr. hawkins- paid us two visits today; this man doesn't sleep!
What blessings of family and friends we have in the midst of a life crisis! again, that is just to name a few
Thus says the LORD: "refrain your voice from weeping, and your eyes from tears; for your work shall be rewarded...there is hope in your future" Jeremiah 31:16,17

It is times like this that I am so sad we live so far away! All we can do is pray for you - but yet that is the best thing we can do. We are obviously praying for Jordan's health but we are also praying fervantly for strength and encouragement for you, B & B. I know you are weary. I pray for compassion and understanding from Brent's co-workers. I pray that today you would feel the "peace that is beyond all understanding"!
We love you and are joining with others to cover you in prayer!
