Tuesday 7/5 Craig is having a tumor marker pulled. Please pray for a low number (below 47) so we can continue with our summer plans. We have two mini trips and a big one planned for July. Any number above 47, we would have to consider some form of chemo.
Craig also had some blood taken to do a heredity test to possible be accepted for a clinical trial at some point in Chicago. Dr. Hir. continued to work on the insurance company after the test was denied the first time. It is an answered prayer to have a doc on our side doing some of the leg-work to get extra steps taken to prepare for the next steps whenever those might occur. I do worry about the results from that test. If it comes back that it is genetic then the gene could have been passed on to the girls. At first I wasn't sure that I even wanted to know the results especially since there is not a test that can catch this cancer sooner than later. Once we hear those results we will pass them along. If it is genetic then he could be considered for the trial in Chicago.
Prayers for God's will be done and that we get to continue our summer of fun.
Thanks for all the support.
Hope you are enjoying God's gift of sunshine this summer.
Here are some pictures from the walk. There are more coming from Sara Davis but these are the ones the Breits took. We were blessed with two team photographers with fancy cameras. :)
Hannah was working hard on the stroller before the walk.
Cooper!

Hannah was thinking about taking a nap towards the end of the walk but was too excited to fall asleep. Those who went to lunch know that a nap would have been the better choice.
Everybody
Lucy had just had her nails painted purple. That was so cute. The girls (and Aidan) loved it.

Thanks so much for sharing your stories in this blog! Some of the thoughts and feelings you express mirror exactly what we are going through at the moment. We expect a miracle here as well. My husband, 39 years, was diagnosed on the 25th of May this year. We have two little girls, 21 months and 4 years old. We just started the FOLFORINOX last week. It's been a rough week but your blog gives me hope. Best Wishes from Sweden!
