Sun, Rain & Clouds

The past few days have been wonderful. We've had some rain in the evenings, cloudy cool mornings and a little sun to make you smile. Emily & I enjoyed several hours outside this morning. We "weeded" and worked in our "garden" (ha ha), and then went for a walk. She was exceptionally good in the stroller so it made it much more enjoyable on my part as the sun was starting to come out and get a little hotter.

I just wanted to blog and update on my daddy, if you read my earlier posts. His PSA levels were high so he went to see a urologist yesterday. The Dr. thinks he just has an infection and has put him on antibiotics for a month. They'll recheck him after that and see if the levels have gone down. We're praying they do, and I have hope that they will. If they aren't down then they'll do a biopsy. Hopefully we won't have to worry about that...so keep praying for him.I also have another prayer request...a couple in our neighborhood who we are good friends with, Mr. Eldon & Mrs. Faye. He has been battling cancer for many months, and the tumors just keep growing. We went to their house on the 4th to watch the fireworks and you can really tell that he's looking really sick. When he first started chemo you couldn't tell he was sick. He went for months and wasn't sick at all. The hot summer is really making it worse on him because he loves to work in the yard. His wife does alot too, but has been having some back problems. She's had an MRI and is waiting to hear back from it. I hope that it's nothing more than a bulging disc, but it is sounding like a herniated disc or spinal stenonis. I ask you to pray for them because they are so dear to us, especially Emily. They are like her grandparents here in town. It's so hard to watch such a lively sweet family get so down so fast. Thank you for all your prayers and I hope you have a great rest of the week.
