Better-Worse

The first week of school is done. The boys seem to be adjusted to their new schools. Even though they will not admit to liking school, they come home with smiles on their faces. Maybe that will change when the homework starts. Katie is full of smiles and bounces when she comes home. Tom and I are just plugging along, making phone calls, filling out insurance forms, and trying to stay focused on our daily tasks.

Kyle has been cleared for physical activity. He was very happy to hear that....He's like his dad, he lives for football! Tom has been fighting a sore throat, maybe allergies or else part of his cancer. His energy level has been low this past week: football, not sleeping, or his condition could be the cause of this.

Tom was telling me that his coworkers at Spectrum Health Sleep Disorders Center are donating some of their PTO (Vacation time) to us to help supplement his loss of income while he is on disability. He is very lucky to work with such a generous and caring group of people.
Thank you

Please pray that Tom is able to stay active and upbeat as we get closer to his surgery date.

Tom, Val,

Thank you for keeping this blog! We open your blog first whenever we get internet service along the road.

We are thinking of you and praying for you every day and we know that you will find your miracle.

Good morning Tom & Val -

Thanks for the update last night. We were all a little distracted here at B-Y yesterday. So glad to know the surgery went well.

Marissa and I prayed for the healing of Tom's "big boo-boo" last night. We will continue to pray for a speedy recovery.

Hang in there!
