We are sitting here in the chemo treatment room having fluids administered. Our appointment was at 2:00pm and we got called in about 3:40pm. Felt like we were at home. (Ha!) They told Michael they will take about 3 hours today to administer and then they will change the bags of chemo and we will be on our way. These are some of the nicest folks I have ever been around. Everyone here acts as if they are concerned about all your needs and not here to draw a paycheck. Kay Dixon called us this afternoon and we will try to make contact sometime real soon. We were in a hurry to get to our 2:00pm appointment and was unable to meet them, but will. Pray for Ronnie as he will have having surgery tomorrow I think. Michael's surgery is so rare, we have not met anyone else here who is being treated for Ewing's Sarcoma. Michael's appetite is wonderful. He had a chicken fried steak and french fries for lunch and an ice cream sundae for breakfast this morning. When he was younger, I wouldn't have let him eat ice cream for breakfast, but as long as he eats, it doesn't matter. He is in wonderful spirits and has a good outlook. Hasn't been sick any since starting this round of chemo. What an awesome God we serve and looking foward to the CT Scan next week to see what God has done in his life. I am going to brag on my son for a moment. Everyone here at the hospital is very impressed with his manners. Said he is a very polite young man. I think Marc would be very proud of him if he were here. Will write more later.
Love to all and keep the prayers coming,
Terri and Michael
Dear Friends and family, Please don't cry for me as I am going to see my daddy, Mimi and Papa as well as the relatives I have never met. Heaven is a glorius place and I pray that if you don't know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior you will invite Him to come into you life as I want you to experience what I am now experiencing up here. It is awesome!

Good evening to Terri and Michael. Glad to hear things are still looking up. Prayers are being answered each minute. I have to second the good manners. It is a rare find these days among young people. Like we talked about before. Kids like ours boys are the sweetest and kindest with the biggest hearts. You should be proud. Keep on keepin on and thanks again for keeping us up. You are doing a fabulous job. Much love, Missy
