Michael Wipperman (aka WOLFMAN)

Happy Birthday Michael! it is hard to believe my son will be 25 years old on Christmas Eve. What a hidden blessing God gave us 25 years ago.

We are so blessed to live in Olney, TX . Arrived home last night about 11:00pm and Michael was soooooooo surprised to find his tree with gifts under it. He is still trying to figure out how someone got in our house to put up our tree. Our babies were so glad to see us.....Amanda stood in the living room and bard and howled like she was saying, "Look everyone, look whose home!" That wasn't enough, she then went outside and stood in the yard and did the same thing. Aren't dogs amazing....they love you even if you have deserted them for nine months! We are home for an undetermined period of time. Michael will be getting his treatments in Wichita Falls beginning next week. Hallelujah! We will be going every day for 14 days (1 1/2 hours a day) and then blood work here in Olney twice a week during the last 7 days of the 21 day cycle. God is so Good. This treatment is a trial to see how low a dose of chemo we can get as a maintenance dose to keep the cancer from activating itself again. It is a very aggressive cancer and don't want it to come out of hibernation.

Bet yet, Dr. Ravi gave Michael a "release to go back to work"....he is just ecstatic.....Will be working on Monday through Friday. Dr. Ravi told him he had to pay attention to his body...when it says, "I'm tired" he needs to obey. Hopefully we can keep him true....

We would like to thank every one for you continued prayer support and encouragement. We could not have made it the past 9 months without our Lord and Savior helping us through all this horrible disease. God is good and we are seeing miracles happen in my son. Hoping we have him many more years to keep his momma on her toes. Love to all and Merry Christmas.
