Rock and Roll Warrior: A fever and a hospital stay

Fever...

Check up...

Jun 2

First off I want to thank you all for fasting on my behalf yesterday. What a wonderful caring family I have. I've been truly blessed! I was also given an amazing blessing by Bishop Miller who will always be my Bishop. the girls and I talked after and Emily said "he is the BEST Bishop EVER" Sam and Lisa agreed whole heartedly. Rick performed the anointing. To have these men who have always been such a wonderful example to me and my family was such a blessing.

After everyone had left we had a sweet young couple come to pick up the trampoline we had sold them. Lisa apologized that I couldn't help because I was sick. They asked a lot of questions about me and my condition. after they finished taking apart the tramp and loading it they came to the front door and asked me if they could pray for me. I said I would be honored. They put their hands on my shoulders and gave me a beautiful prayer. it doesn't matter that they are not of our faith. They love our Savior and their fellow man.

we had some potential renters over the other day and and found out that the wife was a oncologist at Porter Hospital. so Lisa proceeds to tell them about me and my cancer. They were really sweet. Two days later they sent us an e-mail to tell us that they found a place closer to their mother in Highlands Ranch. But in the e-mail they asked if they could help in any way. staining and sealing the decks, fixing the fence, mowing the lawn.

My heart is full!! The selfless acts of kindness that I have seen is truly humbling. There are so many people out there with good hearts. I think I lost site of that earlier in my life. But I will never forget it. I love the journey I am on for reasons like this. I love each and everyone of you for who you are.

Brad was admitted to hospital last Wednesday for observation after having a fever for over 5 days. His fever finally broke on Wednesday but they wanted to keep him anyway...

Jun 5:

I'll make it short. My Doctor came in this morning and said the CAT scan came back normal (meaning nothing abnormally large) so, no lymph node biopsy for now. So she sent me home. She does want to keep a closer eye on me so we will be going back to three visits a week and next week they want to do another bone marrow biopsy which will be number FIVE. It seems like eventually they would run out of places to drill. Crazy!!

So I'm home and the Spurs are up by 5 at the half. Thanks for the continued prayers!!

This rash appeared on the side of Brad's stomach only for a day or two then went away...
