Morning report for Feb. 28
Well… in 2 more days, Ryan will have been in a hospital for one month, and in 3 days, he will have been at the Blair E. Batson Hospital for Children. It just doesn’t seem possible that a month ago Ryan was throwing baseball in the backyard with Troy and feeling great before we found out he had cancer. This morning he is feeling a little better. He wanted to play his gameboy, which means he wants to do something this morning. Ryan really didn’t each much yesterday, but he did eat and that made his doctor happy. I’m hoping that he eats more today and continues to get better. I am ready for my whole family to be under one roof for a change.
For some reason, I have been very emotional this week, and I don’t know why. Maybe everything that has happened has finally caught up with me, and that is what has me down. I know that I have been taking things wrong when they are spoken to me, and I don’t like it! Oh well… another hurdle to get over this next week. :)

Dear Vic,
I echo Parke’s sentiments and wanted to tell you I love you and pray for you often, even before Ryan’s dx. I am thankful one month is over with and God has allowed Ryan’s body to handle this high risk treatment without any major set backs. Just as I have to remind myself-take deep breaths, smile and know that God has wrapped his loving arms around you and your family. He will never, never, never leave you nor forsake you. His mercy endureth forever and are new every, every, every morning.
Love in Him, Carol
Hi, I’m so glad Ryan is through round one of chemo – our family is praying for him as is our church. a note on your feeling emotional and a little down – although I haven’t been through anything like this with one of my children, I did have a daughter that was in a bad accident and her back was broken. She is doing great, all grown up with five children, God has been good. She will always have problems with her back but those first six to eight months I felt were the worst. So much was going on in our lives and when things started to get on a little bit of an even keel after many months is when I began to feel depressed, wanting to sleep and teary, none of which is like me. My doctor explained it this way, you had to be strong, your daughter, husband and two other children needed you(not that they weren’t right in there, they were, but we all know moms!!) and he said i had reached a point where my mind was allowing both mind and body to deal with all my emotions that I couldn’t allow myself to show before. don’t know if this is what is going on with you, but it is real and it is normal – it’s really ok for moms and dads to be human – remember Jesus had His moments in the garden – I think God allowed us to know about this to let us know that these feelings are ok – your family has been and will continue to be a tremendous inspiration to many of us – tell ryan i’m with him on eating that bop’s ice cream – it’s great, as my scales could tell you! praying for all of you phyllis martin
Victoria,
You are in my thoughts and prayers this morning. I am not sure how you have held it together this long. I would have been a basket case long before now. Know that you are loved by many and that we are lifting you and your whole family up constantly. May our God of peace and comfort be ever with you especially today!!
In His Grace,
Parke
For You will light my lamp; The Lord my God will enlighten my darkness. For by You I can run against a troop. By my God I can leap over a wall. As for God, His way is perfect; The word of the Lord is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him. Psalm 18:28-30
