Alan's Reflections

First of all, I would like to thank you for your prayers and concern for us - Judy and me. Your prayers are especially appreciated because through prayer and God's help anything is possible. Faith, determination, family, and friends are going to be the anchors that pull me through this difficult time. (I am a Navy guy, you know.)

Some of you like to give me a hard time, that is appreciated too! I know you are just doing so because you care. I look forward to many more fun times with each of you. May God bless and keep you.

Signing off with the name my grandchildren call me,
Dude

A Ray of Hope

Dad received another call today around 1pm to let him know that a potential set of lungs has become available. The lungs have to be evaluated and accepted and Dad (and Mom) have gone to the hospital as directed. Dad has already had some blood work and a couple of other tests. It is now almost 7pm and we are still waiting to hear if the lungs are acceptable. Please be praying that these lungs are the ones meant for Dad. We all want God's timing and the lungs God has picked out for him, but the wait is getting more difficult for Dad and Mom both physically and emotionally. We are not sure when we will hear. Mark and I will head to Durham immediately if the surgery is going to happen. We do appreciate the prayers you offer on Dad's behalf. We will post as soon as we can get to a computer.

Blessings to you all, Traci
