Good for another ....3 months!

All the tests that Roy had done in Houston were clear of cancer cells ...Praise the Lord!!!

So, the prayer for a extended period of time before we go back was not answered.  And, that's ok.  The oncologist is not comfortable waiting 6 months.  We were told for the next year he really needs to be tested every 3 months.  So, it's really going to work out fine because they are willing to schedule the next round of tests on the Monday/Tuesday after Justin plays football for ACU against some Houston school the Saturday night before testing.  We will only make a trip to do all of it.  Ofcourse, he plays again down in the Houston area later in the season but we've got the road memorized....Buckee's...Cooper Farms are getting to know us personally.

We thought we were getting to get away and back on the road early on Tuesday.  He had a endoscopy scheduled for 10am...needed to be at the endoscopy center at 9 for prep.  They called on Monday and asked if he could come at 7am for a 8am test.  That sounded great...for him.  I'm not much of a morning person so I let him go at 7 to be prepped...I showed up at 8 and they hadn't even called him back...oops.  So it all ended up being about the same time as it was initially scheduled.  If you've ever been through multiple testing you know that can happen.  We did get to leave earlier because the oncologist worked us in an hour before the initial time.  So, it all worked out in the end...there you go!!

Thank you for the prayers.  Please keep them coming.  Each time he has his tests done and I'm waiting...I look around and thank God that he looks good and feels good in comparison to some of the patients waiting to be seen.

I'm not really very political and don't want to use this as a forum for politics BUT....I am so tired on reading on Facebook those who think Wendy Davis is "the best thing since sliced bread.".  If you do...call me and let me tell you how I feel about abortions after 20 weeks...non surgical facilities for abortions...good grief....what little child do you know that you wouldn't want to be alive and well and a part of your life????.....so sorry...would delete this if I weren't so mad about it all...

God is in control and holding our hands.

Just a little late.....

I'm a little late in posting this message.  We've had a busy summer so far.  Summer Spectacular at the Hills (think VBS on steroids) was great and we were blessed to have Tyler come up from Temple to spend time with us. We then met Ryan and Holly and Georgia Kate in Hillsboro to return Tyler, have Father's Day lunch and drop off Callie, Caleb and Jacob.  It was an interesting trip because Shana and Chris and Stacy and Kelly all went to beable to have lunch with Roy...in Hillsboro.  (I'm thinking we need to find a more exotic place next year....maybe New York???)  Then we went back to Temple to pick up the grands who went home with Tyler for the Impact (backyard VBS) at his church.  I also went with Stan and Shana yesterday to take Josh and Callie to camp.  That was a 3 hour drive there and then back but a good time for visiting with them.

But then, it's not all about me.....this blog is really to keep those interested posted with what is happening with the journey Roy is on.
We leave in the morning for Houston again.  Roy will have his PetScan tomorrow and then an endoscopy on Tuesday.  We feel fortunate that we are spending just one night there.  Although it doesn't give us time to spend with our friends that we have enjoyed visiting with in the past.  But, it will be good to be back in the metroplex sooner as we are headed to Tennessee on Friday.  Keep our travels in your prayers please.

So, if you are reading this before our trip, thank you and please pray for good results on both of the tests.  Another prayer I'm adding for this trip...please pray that they tell us Roy can go 6 months before he has to come back.  We pray for that time, it will mean we are that much closer to being confident in there not being cancer...yea!!  If they say we do have to come back in 3 months, we are fine and will continue to make the journey.  Next trip will be timed at the same time as Justin plays football down in the Houston area.  Might as well kill 2 birds with 1 stone, right??

God is in control and holding our hands.
