You don't have to worry about the snow so much but you have that bone-chillin' bitter cold!!  If I lived up there, I wouldn't even take off my Long John's to take a bath.  When I went outside, I would wear a snowmobile suit!   Even to just go to WalMart!!

I don't want to hear that!!!!I dont want to see the snow fly so early.

It's SNOWING on Backus Mtn!

Going home tomorrow when the last bag of chemo finishes probably around 4pm. Still no sickness here:) we have plenty of fluid though. His legs look like tree trunks. his next appt is set up for the 17th. he loves the cards everyone has sent. We have them sitting up in the window. thank you all for the prayers.

Conversation is exercise of the mind.. Gossip is just exercise of the tongue.

Thought for the Day:

Everything heaven has to offer comes with the currency of faith.

Smith Wigglesworth was a mighty man of faith. On one occasion, God told him to get up and go across town to pray for a woman who was sick. He instantly obeyed, but when he arrived at the home of the sick woman, relatives informed him she had just died.

Smith Wigglesworth said, "God sent me here to pray for her. Whether she is dead or alive does not affect me."

He entered the house and was escorted to the room of the deceased. He picked her up out of the bed and leaned her against the wall and shouted, "Live, in Jesus' name!" Instantly the woman returned to life.

This is what we did today:) puzzles!

Danny, Praise God you're eating Pizza!!!  

I have a special prayer request.  I have a friend, Dr. Brad Lane, who lost his maternal grandmother the 21st.  Before they had the funeral, his mother died also.  I went to the funeral today and when I talked to him, he said, "You've got to pray for me, please, I've got to get through this."  He was close to his grandmother, like our kids were with Mommy.  His mother was 55.  He is from Mullens, WV.   I know he would appreciate your prayers.  He is a christian and he believes in prayer.

I understand, Trish, and you're excused!

I hope the rest of you out there can find the time to get some more to me though. I would really appreciate all that you can send.

Ruth I have some haven't had my head wrapped around sending them.

Danny just had pizza for lunch with applesauce for dessert. He is feeling good. Has almost 24 hours of chemo behind him now. One of his doctors came in this morning and asked him how his treatments were going and if he was sick or rather how sick. Danny told him he wasn't getting sick. He wasn't going to allow it. The doctor looked at him a little funny and then just continued with his exam. As he was leaving he looked back smiled and said "no sickness allowed, I like that".

He got several ecards this morning tHat I have put in the window, all with such encouraging words!

Hey all you cooks out there!

I didn't get very many recipes, and I surely would appreciate a whole bunch more!

Danny is on Floor 8 West, Room 8180A per Hospital Information.

He is on 8 west. Room 8180

He didn't sleep at all last night. Up to the bathroom getting rid of fluid all night. But PRAISE GOD no sickness!

Trish, we need his room #and floor, to send the card.

If anyone is interested in sending Danny a card, save a stamp and send him one electronically. Go to this site and click on contact patient. They print them out and bring them right to him:)

Trish, and Danny our prayers and thoughts are with you all, God is still in control, just trust him for all your needs , he is always faithful.

Round 1 consists of 3 drugs. Adriamycin ( aka Red Devil) is running 24/7 for 3 days and then ifofsamide runs over an hour x4 doses and Mesna which runs 24/7 x 4 doses. We will be here til Saturday this time. 8th floor at UVA. Beautiful view of the mountains. He will get treatments every 21 days. So it looks like our next treatment will be the 18th of October. 24 hours after we come home he has to go to a clinic and get a drug called neulasta for his white count. I am able to stay in his room so I am thankful for that. Thanks for all your prayers,
Trish and Danny

Amen, Trish! With our words we create our world just as God did when he spoke the world into existence. Words are much more powerful than we can even imagine!

Is he in Charlottesville? How long does he have to say in the hospital? How long between treatments?

Danny says this is his luxurious hotel. As you can see thats his 5 star meal in the background! JUST started chemo! I keep telling him he is not gonna get sick so you guys can help me with that!
