Wow .. A lot has happened...

Wow, a lot has happened since I last logged in. We had a cold winter and now spring is finally in the air. And along with the changing season is a change in our family's health situation.

My sister Brenda and her husband Steve live a few acres away from us. Steve had been having some health issues with back pain in mid December and January. Thinking it was just the flu, he tried to keep on working. Normally Steve is a healthy hard working man. He's 46 years old and just figured he'd pulled a muscle or something.

Well long story short is this... after several visits to the doctor and many tests later, it was determined that he had a disc problem that was going to require surgery. However a surgeon ruled this out and suggested that it could be gall stones. Surgery was scheduled to remove the gall stones and gall bladder on March 7, 2008.

You can imagine then our horror and shock when it was discovered that it wasn't gall stones but that he has stage 4 colon cancer with complications of Hepatitis C!

Steve underwent four surgical procedures and was sent home in serious condition. He started chemo therapy treatments on Monday March 31st.

We are praying for a miracle and hope everyone who reads this will join in our prayers.
