Days 9-13

Hello Everyone,

I apologize that I haven't written since last week. We've been rather busy recently with juggling treatment appointments and having contractors in and out of the house (we are getting some minor updating done in 2 of our bedrooms - Randy can't do much these days so we are blessed to have a great contractor helping us out). Anyway, things are going very well for Randy. We are plugging along through radiation treatments and looking forward to the last 2 weeks of Physical Therapy (only 6 more visits to go).

Randy has his MRI scheduled for May 20th and a follow up appointment with his neurosurgeon scheduled for May 27th. We are continuing to pray that the results of radiation treatment show ZERO remnants of a tumor and that Randy gets a 100% clean bill of health from the doctor on the 27th!!!

As we prepare to celebrate this Good Friday and the Resurrection of our Lord on Easter Sunday we are humbled now more than ever at the sacrifice Christ gave to us on the cross. He gave up His life for Randy and I (and for you) so that when we made the decision to live for Him we could rest assured that we could live for eternity with Him! When I think about this sacrifice and think about the fact that Randy is still with me, I am overwhelmed with gratitude. I still have my husband, Joshua still has his daddy and we know that God has us cradled gently in His hands and for that we say ... THANK YOU JESUS! How incredible to know that such a sacrifice was made for us and even more incredible to know that through His death we have life and that indeed Christ is risen -is alive and working in our lives today - and that He loves us with a love that is the purest and most meaningful love of all.

Enjoy your weekend everyone, celebrate the goodness of God and give your family a huge hug and kiss and let them know that you love them! We love you too!

Love,
Randy and Rachel
