Amy is writing in her journal and asked me to give an update. We didn't get much news today. Everyone is still waiting for more definitive results from pathology. We hope to hear more in the next day or two. It sounds like treatment wouldn't start until next week no matter the news, so if another biopsy is not needed w...e may possibly get to come home for a day or two this weekend. The doctors seem to be less inclined to hold open the door for less serious diagnoses, but this does not dampen our spirits. Mitchell continues to show that he is up to any challenge. With the Lord's help he can do anything. He took two walks up the hallway with some assistance. From morning to night he is a happy chatterbox rattling off jokes nonstop. He doesn't complain but spends most of his energy making sure everyone is happy. When the monitor alarms go off he will hold out his arm to hug me, pat me on the back and say don't worry about it daddy. He is always telling us to give each other kisses and asking to touch baby sister. He is constantly rubbing our hair and patting our hands to show his love. It's impossible not to believe this strong little spirit is going to come out on top. We were also blessed to have some special visitors today. A musical therapist came to the room to play songs. Mitchell loved it and really beat away on the little drum with his right hand. When asked if he had a request, Mitchell of course answered I am a Child of God. The man listened as we all sang. We appreciated his visit. I hope his dad has forgiven him for going to a crazy liberal college to get a masters in guitar songs for kids. We were also visited by some of Amy's young women who ventured the snowy mountain pass to spread some joy. We are truly touched by everyone's kindness and prayers. Lastly, we are very appreciative to the Ronald McDonald house for housing our family. Please toss your change in their donation box at your next visit to McD's. It's a wonderful operation. Our very best to all!
