Lots to be thankful for, but lots of prayer requests too....

Where to start.... Sorry I haven't posted in a while. As most of you have been, it has been really crazy here. About a week and a half ago, Gareth had to have an area of skin removed on his back.
The first biopsy came back with "yucky cells". We went to the Dr. and I explained that he would prob. have a few stitches, but he would be fine. (like I know) They numbed his back, OK, 20 pricks with a needle, then took enough skin that he has 10 stitches. I couldn't believe it. I did get to watch the whole thing. REALLY NEAT! If you are squeamish, I wouldn't recommend it:0)
Anyway, his results came back yesterday, and they feel that they got all of the pre-cancerous cells, and they had not turned in to cancer yet! PRAISE GOD!! He will get his stitches out on Monday and then in a month or two, be re-checked all over again. HUGE PRAISE!!!

Liam was at the Dr. this past Monday. He is still having stomach/bowel issues. They have tested his blood for a few different things. He now has an appointment with a specialist at Children's. If this blood work comes back ok, I am not sure what will happen next. He was tested for lost when he came home, then tested again a few months later. Then, it was off to the allergist, and still no results. Please pray that God will open some doors in this department. We really need some answers!!

Alex had her first day of school Monday. She has had a great week!! Thank you Lord for wonderful teachers. Her teacher this year seems so nice and Alex loves her already.

On a final note, my friend Patty's dad died this past week. He had had surgery to remove part of his lung of cancer. He came out of the surgery ok, but then had some complications a few days later and went home to be with the Lord on Monday night. The funeral today was encouraging as he was a man who Loved and Lived for God. Please keep Patty, Dave and their kids as well as Patty's mom and family in your prayers.

Off for a night of dinner and a movie with my hubby now that the kids are asleep. I just love Saturday date nights at home. I just hope I can stay awake tonight:0)
