The last few days have been really good for Dave. He has been walking on the treadmill, trying to build up his strength. The kids left on Wednesday with Mama and Daddy. It was so hard! Everybody cried!! I cry every time anyone leaves. We got to skype with them once they got home and they were running around, laughing, hugging their cousins......so that made us feel better about them leaving. Dave and I are homesick. We know we are in the right place for him to get the best treatment, but we miss our friends and families terribly! Tomorrow is the big day. He will have his first scan since having chemotherapy. He has an appointment with Dr. Ravi on Monday and will begin round 3 of chemo that afternoon. So next week will be busy with going back and forth to the hospital for treatment. I am so thankful the kids will not have to be here. I hope they have a couple of weeks to not think about cancer. I sent their schoolwork with them. My Daddy is responsible for making sure they do their work each day :) They are right on track, and will be ready for 2nd semester after Christmas. Dave has been teaching the girls Latin for the past year and a half, but I'm thinking about maybe teaching them a little Spanish next semester. Houston is such a melting pot. We hear lots of different languages everywhere we go. So maybe we should start learning one. If anyone has any ideas for a good, inexpensive Spanish curriculum, please let me know.
I will let you know how the scan goes. Have a good weekend!

Lisa, it must be so hard to be away from your children! It sure sounds like they're in good, loving hands and that must give you a huge sense of peace. I pray Dave's scan results are good and the next cycle of chemo goes as smoothly as possible.
Lisa and Dave: You are on my mind and heart so much of the time. I will continue to lift you up to the GREATEST HEALER I know...I pray that all goes well. I know times are hard and I can't imagine just what you're going through...but I CAN know that your faith is strong and that you are constantly relying on the one who gave us all breath to get you through each and every minute. We love you so very much and will continue to pray for you every day!
May God Bless you strongly today!

Been thinking about you a lot lately. Hope the scan went well. I miss you too. I have often thought it would be fun to just go over and see you. I pray all the results from the scan are good and Dave does well in the next round of chemo. Love you,

I cant imagine how incredibly difficult this season in life is for you..trying to love and serve your hubs, yet struggling to care for your children long distance..The fear that must grip you constantly, but oh "in the arms of my dera savior there are 10thousand charms" i pray you enjoy the sweet love of the father as you rest in his arms.
As i am sure you know, Latin is the root of most languages including ours..but most esp Spanish..way to go dave for giving them a foundation..spanish will be easier for them with a latin base..most private schools teach latin starting in 2nd grade and go through 8th...
