I guess we haven't posted much in the last few days...which is a combination of a few things...first of all...Ramona has been feeling significantly better in the last few days...there was no wheelchair needed to get out of the hospital on Monday...and things at home have been.......fairly normal....i guess...We keep in touch with the hospital staff...and visit local hospitals...but that is the definition of normal...Ramona has been helping out my dad in school here a bit and helping her sisters do homework...and things like that...i have been helping the housemovers with a few local moves in the last two days.....sometimes it's nice to act like the cancer doesn't exist for just a little bit...everything on the blog feels like it is cancer related and that sometimes makes it hard to write...at the same time...when life is intense...it is incredibly encouraging to realize how many people are praying on our behalf...and this blog is a nice connecting point....keep praying hard...there is still minor infections and a a slight cold in Ramona's body...at any point this may become a serious problem and we will be in St. B......Ramona and I have been reading in the book 'Purpose Driven Life' by Rick Warren recently...It is once again so good to put things in perspective...that book is written with eternity in mind...instead of trying to sum up that book i think i should go rest beside my wife soon...earl

Hey you two!

Glad to hear that life is relatively normal in your neck of the woods. LOVE the picture of you two!!! So cute! It has to be hard to constantly think of the cancer you're fighting. It's great to hear that there are times when that is not formost in your mind - I think you need that break.

Ramona, from all I've read and heard from your friends, you are one amazing woman! When this is all over and the cancer is gone (and I still believe that will happen!), I can't wait to see what you do with this experience. Your faith and desire for God's will to be done has touched so many people already, I just know that many more will be reaching out to Jesus when they see the miracle that you are healed!

In the meantime, as we pray for your infection and that silly cold that won't go away, we will also pray for God to be so near to you, that you can't help but glow from His Spirit within you! May everyone who sees you also see God shining through you!

We love you!

Love, Michele (Jobina's sister)

It's great to see you around the community. It was an answer to prayer to see you at the School Grand Opening today. We're praying that you can stay out of the hospital this weekend.
We have been so blessed by you guys and your relationship. We are inspired by the goals and dreams God has given you. Thankyou for being people who are real, honest and so full of desire to know God.
Blessings,
Tara (and Stan)
