Countdown to New York

Dear Family and Friends,

From the bottom of our hearts, we say "Thank You.  We love you!".  Thank you so much for your generosity over the past month.  You have opened your hearts even more than they were before and donated your resources at an amazing level.  You reached the fundraising goal in a short amount of time and even exceeded it.  We are truly humbled by your generosity and charity towards us. We know that you will be blessed for your kindness and sacrifice.  We are feeling strengthened and hopeful about the future and what could happen this summer.  May Heavenly Bless You All!

I had a PET scan at the beginning of May.  The results came back as slight progression in some areas.  This is good news for us.  We reached out to Dr. Slotkin at MSKCC and she did not have any concerns. We are a GO!  Mercy Medical is a wonderful organization that provides flights for medical reasons to patients and caregivers.  They are arranging our flight to New York for June 2nd.  We don't know the exact return date for either of us, so they were kind enough to do a one way ticket.  We won't know the actual flight info until a week before.

We are blessed that we can take a family vacation the week before we go to New York.  We are going to family and friends in Washington and visit Angela's brother in Idaho on the way there and my family in Howell on the way back.  This will be a wonderful time together before the summer separation.  I am so thankful for the technology we have that will allow us to stay "connected" with family and friends while we are in New York.  It is a great blessing and will help Angela and I's hearts as they ache for the kids.

We love you all.  Thank you again for your kindness, love, prayers, and support.  Heavenly Father  and Jesus Christ are in the details of our lives.  There are so many blessing and tender mercies being poured out upon, we but need look for them and we will see them.  Peace come from letting God prevail in our lives.

With Love, 
Doug
