The report for today is awesome, AT! All that Crystal told you sounds very, very good. I have lots of hope and will keep hoping and praying.

And after this story today I am totally enamored with Pigpen! What a great kid. He is a hoot!!!

Hang in there and let’s hope the worst is now in the past…

But that doesn’t mean I’m through praying …

Great news!! I’m pretty sure the ‘V’ drug is vancomycin. It is pretty heavy-duty. It should take care of whatever bug is around. And it good to hear the nurses treating you well.

Hi AT,

I came to this site after reading Dan Renzi’s site. I have been reading for a few days and have been trying to work up the courage to write something. At first, I wasn’t sure if I should because it seemed as if I may be intruding on an intimate experience. However, I would like for you to know how much I admire you and how much I am praying for and hoping for the best for your family. I can tell you that you sharing your experience has made me realize how precious my family and friends are and how fragile life can be. I will continue to pray for you, your wife and your family. Even though I do not know you personally, the expression of the love that you and your wife share has once again reaffirmed for me just how awesome life can be. Thank you.

I’ve put up a tee shirt design on my cafe press store, and I’m offering the profits from the sales (30%) of the “Nothing to Fear” design to Atomic Tumor to help offset the costs of treatment.

I realize you’re insured, but there are other costs that maybe the rest of us can help with.

When my sister-in-law was in a coma they also chose to keep her then 3 year old daughter away from the hospital for the very same reasons. But we thought that she might benefit from a “virtual visit” so we videotaped a special message to mommy. We actually followed her around the house for a couple of hours and she talked to mommy - told her what she was doing, said hi to her from the bath tub, told her how much she loved her and missed her and wanted her to wake up.

We played that tape over and over in the room for Becky. Again, no miraculous healing moment, but I am convinced she heard it.

Odd, we spent so much time trying to communicate with her in the months she was in a coma and I have never thought to ask her if she heard any of it. Hmm, will have to do that on our next visit.

What a great day. Sounds like celebrating Mamaw’s birthday was the perfect medicine for you all! Pigpen is quite the idea man.

Rest assured that relationships and families are changing for the better because of what you and your family are going through. You know those warm feelings that people have for their fellow man that show up right before Christmas? They have come early this year, due to you opening up your life to us. But these feelings run deeper than mere holiday good will, -these are the kind that are deep, life changing and lasting.

MastaG did great after lunch - class had science - learned about lightning - and then indoor recess, he and 2 other boys played “army”.

So good to read good news. You’ve been on my mind and in my prayers all day. Hugs to the boys (who I don’t know, but I know I’d love to hug them) and hugs to you too. Thanks for keeping us informed. God bless.

Hey AT! This is so awesome! I am so happy for you.

come on BJ, come on BJ, come on BJ

And while it is only my unsolicited opinion, I am glad you and MastaG are starting to have some sort of conversation about it. I am always amazed at how N.O. Boy (same age) is smart and keen to things is that I would not expect him to be. And by sharing very important info about BJ with him is gaining you so much trust and strengthening your bond. You’re letting him know he’s capable of handling serious stuff. Boys think their dad’s made the sun, moon, earth and sky. He will love you and appreciate your honesty with him, AT. Kudos!

hang in there, we’re all here with you, praying for BJ to come home.

Man is my face red. I missed a couple of posts since I last checked in. Whoops.
