In my opinion, one of the greatest songwriters of our day is Steven Curtis Chapman. His style is usually aimed at an age a bit older than me, but I’ve always respected his fantastic musicianship and songwriting.

Well, today we met with our neuro-oncologist. Misty lost some weight again….she’s 106lbs (I started giving her Ensure shakes this week to try to keep the weight on). And he was displeased with the lack of function in her right hand (she can’t feel anything, or even lift the arm at all) but he didn’t seem really surprised. We are scheduling another MRI for next week (oh…that reminds me…I have to do that tomorrow). After that we will decide whether to stay on this chemo or move onto an even more experimental drug. So next wednesday will be a big day :)

    Hi- I am Emilie Olson’s mother-in-law. Emilie has kept me posted on Misty and I wanted you to know that I am praying for healing for Misty. Our local church has Misty on our prayer list and we have hundreds of people praying for her. God bless all of you and guide you through this storm. Debbie Olson
