Several things...

One that we need prayers for several people...Aubs uncle Kim who was in a four wheel accident last week...needs surgery and last word he was at UMC in Vegas...don't have any other word and need to check with Aubrey or Brenda...don't know if anyone is doing a blog on Kim to keep everyone posted...This is the latest I got tonight from Brenda on Kim...I haven't had an update this afternoon. He was hoping that he might be released today. We were just waiting for a good result to come back on the chest x-ray....his lung was collapsed and it has to be better before he can be released. He really did a number on himself. It's a wonder it didn't kill him.
His scapula (blade and socket) are broken and all of the ribs on his left side are too. They will have to heal themselves though. I'm sure his shoulder will need therapy.

Also, prayers are needed for Shane Jensen who got hurt on a job site and Tim has been kept informed by friends he has coffee with most every day...just got the blog on Shane and you can click the link for updates on him...

Also, my mom has been on several antibiotics to help with the pain and swelling in her thumb...it's been a week and swelling and pain still there but docs say will take a lit'l bit but feel it was from a bug bite suspect possible spider????

Now, for Tim...his "Sutent" will be here tomorrow to start back on time Thursday, April 23rd after his 14 days off from last round...we thought he was going to be starting back on it late cuz of the health insurance situation...whoo hoo...:D
and it was too late Friday to call the doctors office as they only do half days unless busy...so I called as soon as I got up this morning which was about 8:20 a.m....

The health insurance was reinstated retro to March 31st and all three of us are on it, at least til the end of the year (9 months)...qualified for the 35% (the percentage goes up to 110-150% for the extension and there's no way we'll stay on it he says)and its the same insurance he had through work, like nothing changed...same co-pays, deductibles, etc...so his sutent was $20 copay and not full price of $7500.00...yea!!!!...

His doctor's appointment was rescheduled for Thursday April 23rd and after he sees the doctor, he'll go down the hall for his infusion of zometa which will take about half an hour. I'll be glad for the infusion cuz he is finding more and more that it is hard to be on his leg...he's thinking about trying the crutches to see if it'll be any better...he got home from coffee tonight and he could hardly get across the room without the pain and of course he was due to take his pain meds again...he uses the cane a little but always the wheelchair...

Not sure or hope I've covered everything and mentioned everyone that are in need of prayer besides Tim...oh, and congrats to our niece who passed her test for phlebotomy at 100%...whoo hoo...:D

We are also starting to get our hot weather...last few days our porch thermeter has been reading 90 degrees...mornings are perfect...but to kool down towards end of week and 80 on Saturday when we have family reunion...hoping he's going to make it...he just got up and hollering from pain in leg...pray that the infusion works for him by strengthening the bones and taking a lot of the pain away as doctor says...

Well, it's dinner time so I need to get off here and Elf...eryone take care be safe blog more lata...
