Well, we're off...

You know that feeling of excitement & anticipation you used to get as a kid on Christmas Eve? Well, this is nothing like that at all...

Actually, we are excited about getting on with this process and (hopefully!) getting some resolution. And let me tell you, the fingerprints of God are already all over our Houston trip! Lodging, work details being taken care of, gas money contributions, even one of my graduate students from the coast copying me a picture & a bio of Dr. Homsi. (She works with the military health insurance group and deals with M.D. Anderson regularly)

We'll be rolling out in an hour or so after Anne heads out to school. Thus, we hope to miss the Baton Rouge & Houston rush- & lunch-hour traffic.

Thanks so very much for your thoughts & prayers recently, and especially this week. By the way, my appt. was moved from Tuesday at 2:00 to Tuesday at 11:30 (10:30 for bloodwork).

Again, thanks for your prayers & thoughts.
Much love and hope,
Mike

Mike,

It's my turn to monitor the ole blog for updates from Houston. When we were out there back in September for Max's surgery, oh how I loved to log on and see the faithful prayers and encouragement from my favorite beach bum...I can't begin to tell you how God used you to help keep us grounded in the whirlwind that we often found ourselves in out there.

We are praying and trusting for complete healing...please keep us updated so we can keep bringing you and your family before the throne.

You are loved!
