In Indiana

Well, we all are in IN now. Curt came as well. We left last nite about 7 something and got here about 5 am. I am at the hospital with Thaddeus and Curt, Melissa (our cuz from FL visiting) and the rest of the kids will be here later.
They are going to bio today, atleast hoping. So that means he will be spending the nite again. Waiting on the doc this morning to tell us when he will come in and do it. There is a lovely illustration of his liver and pancreas drawn on a board here. Explains it all! They had some friends who helped them label everything, thanks Bob and Jaime!!! LOL ;o) (I like the misc part!!!! LOL) So the stent they put in is in between his pancreas and bile duct, he will have to have the stent replaced every 6 to 8 weeks to make sure he doesn't turn yellow again. The cancer is at the head of his pancreas and just spread in spots all over his liver. The liver is untreatable. We don't know what stage he is in, and we don't know how long he has. The doc last nite asked him if he wanted to know and dad didn't yet. It was still all too new and shocking, he didn't want one more piece of info. I don't know if he will want to know. I don't know if they will be able to do chemo or radiation on his pancreas or not. My dad is a fighter and if the docs can't do anything, he will try other things. My aunt told him to drink sage tea, it is a good liver cleanser. And Kefir is agood one as well. Not 100% sure what and how he will do that, if he drinks it or cooks it or what. Their neighbor is also involved in the Cancer Support and has all kinds of info to give him, and options they can do. They aren't giving up!
Dad is loving it though, he is getting to eat anything he wants too. He is no longer on any meds except for the stuff to help with his itch. Jaime came over and brought him a huge basket of cookies and candy!!!! (YUM, I had a piece for breakfast! :O) He said he would share with us! )
Bob came over and brought him a computer to use so he was up til mid-nite last night googling all kinds of things on cancer and the pancreas and liver.
Please keep them in your prayers. Thank you all for your calls and prayers and your visits! They really appreciate it!
Will post another blog after the doc comes in checks him over.
My dad just informed mom and me of what he thinks his stage is. By everything he has seen it is a stage 4... Since he has had no symptoms, there is no test that they could've done. He still isn't in any pain, Thank you God. Please keep praying, that's all we can do!

Whew...

written 4-7-18 Wow! It's been a while since I"ve blogged...  Crazy fun times around here!  :) We had a BIG EVENT for our church Friday night.  It was awesome!!!  All about where we are and what we need to finance our new church building we are building!  We were to take a card and pray about a number and donate for the building fund.  It was a FANTASTIC awesome night to say the least!!! Curt and I have been praying about a number that God wants us to give.  We both feel a number, we can't afford.  haha...  We really can't afford anything because we still have 2 adoption credit card bills we are paying off.  God has blessed us and given us what we need each month.  But we want to give, and adding it up and looking at our budget and writing it all out, it's not there.  Nothing is there!  But that's the way it was with adoption!  We took that step of faith! So that was Friday...  Saturday morning went to kettle bell class and I died...  I honestly haven&#

Ultrasound

First of all, thank you ladies for all those sweet comments you made on my last post! How sweet you are for saying those things! Made my day!!! :O) Second, went for the ultrasound on Monday and everything is fine! WHOO HOO!!!!! No more placenta previa!!!! The baby weighs about 2 1/2 lbs, and everything looks good! We took the kids with us so they could see their baby brother/sister, they LOVED it!! Gavin was FULL of questions though! What's that stuff she put on mommy's belly? Why do the lights needs to be off? I only see one eye. Where's the other eye? What was that, is that his hand or leg? Oh my.... ;o) The tech ended up putting up a 4D on the screen, so that was really cool to see! The cord was kinda in the way, but I still think it was awesome! I didn't have that with any of the other kids!!! :O) Maybe the trick is taking 3 other siblings in to see the 4th!!! ;o) I also only gained a pound, which I am trying to figure out, seeings how I pretty m

North or be Eaten...

Wow what an AWESOME book!!!!!!!!! I don't know where to begin, so I am just going to write the "preview" from the back of the book! ;o) North or be Eaten is by Andrew Peterson and this happens to be the 2nd one in this series. First the found themselves On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness. Now they must make their way North! Or Be Eaten... Janner, Tink, and Leeli Igiby thought they were normal children with normal lives and a normal past. But now they know they're really the Lost Jewels of Anniera, heirs to a legendary kingdom across the sea, and suddenly everyone wants to kill them. In order to survive, the Igibys must flee to the safety of the Ice Prairies, where the lizard-like Fangs of Dang cannot follow. First however, they have to escape the monsters of Glipwood Forest, the thieving Stranders of the East Bend, and the dreaded Fork Factory. But even more dangerous is the jealousy and bitterness that threaten to tear them apart, and Janner and his siblings mus
