Dear Friends,
My TO DO List is long today and so I give you a quick update. I know many of you have been concerned about John's pain. Thank you for your love and prayers. I am thrilled to tell you that his pain is MUCH improved. The combination of prayer, pain medications and radiation have allowed John the freedom to sleep and move about with significantly reduced pain. His calcium level is still very high, indicated ongoing bone degeneration. We will be spending the fourth day this week getting IV treatment for this life-threatening illness.
Because John's pain, mobility and medication have needed lots of care and management, the Fawcetts Sr. have been gracious enough to extend their stay. I know that I am continuing to keep my head above water because of their constant presence. Their service combined with the childcare from my parents and the meals from the church have held us up. Thank you all so much. We are being held up by your hands and prayers.
With gratitude,
Margie for the Fawcetts

Dear Margie:
With the beginning of the school year, it's been several weeks since I checked in at your blog. I sat and read all the posts since the first of the year this morning, often with tears running down my face. I just wanted you to know that I prayed for you and John this morning -- with all my heart, will, hope, faith. I feel so wordless, but as best I can, I wrap you both up in prayer.
Love,
Debbie
Dear Margie,
I read in two separate devotionals that the power of prayer is in the One who answers them. I was not sure that God was hearing me so I asked for some sign of encouragement..and there it was...John's reduced pain. Oh how wonderful to be heard. I prayed too for God's comforting arms around you, especially when you are feeling so lonely. You are in my thoughts and all of you are in my prayers. Please give a warm greeting to Mary and Pastor Bill.
um beijo
