Well I'm the guest blogger today. My Aunt Julie has been hanging in there as well as my Uncle Dave. They both have been at the hospital day an night since saturday. Roseann stayed with him one night at the hospital and my Aunt Julies and John her nephew has been with him since. She don't want to leave his side. My Uncle is in so much pain but I think because Aunt Julie promised she would take him home he is hanging in there. They Hospice is suppose to bring him home today. Lets pray he makes it.. That is where he wants to be is with family at home. Then I think our good Lord will take him home an we can then rejoice that he is where he is meant to be at this time in our lives. All we can do is pray and thank the good Lord we have had and still do have him in our lives. All we can do is enjoy every second that we have him with us. Uncle Al, Julie's mom an dad an I (Ellie) and more family will be coming in and spending Christmas with him. We love you all an Merry Christmas and have a safe an happy holiday.

Hi everyone. Sorry I haven't been able to blog in so long but Dave has been having a hard time. The last month has been crazy. Dave has been in terrible pain in his legs and back. We have been to his oncologist and she has given him new medicine. The new stuff puts him to sleep when he takes it correctly. He is on something for the pain from his chemo and that pretty much is under control. We have started his brain radiation and will be done this Friday. So far I think that has been ok. We had an MRI of his spine done last week and had GOOD NEWS that there was NO tumor on his spine but they can see the compression on his vertebrae and that is what is causing a lot of his pain. WE have been seeing an acupuncture DR. and he helped him a bit. We have seen the chiropractor twice this week and she is coming by the house tomorrow. She feels the drive to her office is adding to his pain.Dave has decided that the more pain medicine he takes the better he will be, something about if I can have 3 a day then why can't I take all 3 at the same time. ! This has really gotten out of control and I fear that next he will need to go through a detox program. I think you all know how hard headed Dave can be.!!! Dave is due to have another MRI done on Friday for his hip. Please keep us in your prayers. I know that with God in your life anything is possible but without him nothing is. Talk to you soon, Dave and Julie
