Hello all! The time has come for us to head off to Mayo again, and so I thought I'd kick-start the ol' blog again. This one will be short, and more will follow.
We leave NC on Saturday 5/31 for Minnesota, and return on Wednesday 6/04. Basically the same run of testing that Dee Dee has had before, with one deletion (yay!). Ongoing prayer is for little-to-no change in tumor number or size, and no spread. Dee Dee had two friends die in the past two weeks from cancer, so it is made more fresh and a bit more scary for us because of the reminder of how things can change, and how painful this walk can sometimes be.
One of the reasons that the psychological/emotional impact has been lessened this year, or at least deferred until now, is that Dee Dee, Samara and I went to North Africa on a humanitarian aid trip recently. We saw over 1000 poor children, dispensed nearly 600 pairs of glasses, and diagnosed several serious diseases (one was life-threatening). We also joined with 28 other brothers and sisters, and were privileged to serve with them for these folks who need it so badly. It was a life-experience trip, and we'd love to talk more with you about it sometime. Here are some pictures to whet your appetite!
Because of grace,
Tony

I was blessed to meet you all on this wonderful trip to N.Africa. Like I said before, I see a family reunion in the making for next year. Huggs; Annette
Prayers will certainly be said for your trip and specifically for the test results. The pictures are great, and I can't wait to see more.
love,

It's about time you posted again ! LOL I look about every other day waiting on you.
I want to see more pictures of your trip. Sorry I didn't get a chance to see them while there for the birthday party.
You and Dee Dee have been on my mind and heart so much lately. The prayers are definitely going full force as I knew the time was coming for you to go back to Mayo. May God send His special angels to watch over you as you go, the tests while there, the results and the kids while you are gone.
Sorry to hear about Dee Dee's friends. Have I ever told you that I absolutely Loathe cancer? I have lost so many loved ones to this disease.
Just hold on to your faith in God and hold onto one another. The love that God has for you both and your love for each other is so wonderful.
Love you all... Mom
