Less Then A Month To Go

We are now back from Houston, TX. The trip itself was a success and it looks as if we will have to return every 3-6 months depending on what Joshua will need to have done. There will be lots of new tests to be done. We are still not sure if Michael will have to return with us. He had to have some additional lab work done while we were there. Should those labs come back with issues it looks like we will also probably be taking a trip to Atlanta, GA to the diagnostic facility down there.

It is now just one day shy of a month to go until the benefit. PLEASE get those ticket requests in ASAP. We need to have a good idea of how many people will be in attendance. If you have items for the auction we are asking that you have them to us by the weekend prior. That would be November 15 and 16th. If you can hand out fliers please let me know so that I can make sure that you have them or a copy of the PDF format so you can print it from your PC. In the next day or two I will be posting a list of items that we could still use to be donated for decorations/tableware.

THANK YOU ALL!!!! Please help make this a success.

Off To Houston...Send Those Ticket Requests In

Hi everyone, we are leaving for Houston, TX tomorrow for a doctors appointment for Joshua and to also see if his other two brothers have this disease also. Please keep us in your prayers as we travel.

Start sending in those ticket requests. It would be wonderful to know that we had a lot sold by the time we came home. These trips are quite expensive for us and run our credit cards to their max. It is not only the travel costs but it is also the medical expenses too.

If you would like updates about our trip please check out Joshua's Health page. There is a link at the top right of this page. I will be updating there regulartly about his health and our trips to doctors and facilities.

Thank You All In Advance!!! You are the ones who make this all possible and are helping us to keep our son healthy so he can be a little boy.
