Sunday Review

Good Afternoon. I have to head out to Lake Mission Viejo to enjoy a beautiful afternoon with all of our friends from our home group! The kids are so excited that I am coming with them! They have slept over at so many different homes that I am losing track of them a little! I need some reconnection time.
I wanted to give you an update on Gary's liver. I told you that Aetna denied our request to have this special radiation that Gary needs. Well, one of our friends at church would like to raise the monies needed to be able to get this treatment for Gary! I was overwhelmed with the fact that he had actually spent time thinking about how to raise money for Gary. I just want to thank him for keeping our family so close in thought and prayer.

Another one of my girlfriends had suggested that we picket Aetna and do a newspaper story on Gary and the unwillingness of the company. I liked that idea but then Gary was not thrilled. His fear is that if we go full steam and picket and expose Aetna then somehow they will manage to find some kind of technicality to drop Gary from his policy and we can't afford for that to happen!

So, we will wait and see what happens. I am checking tomorrow after Gary has the CT Scan on his liver to see how quickly he could have the SBRT radiation therapy. I know as of a few weeks ago it was fairly urgent and then all of this happened. I swear - it is so confusing when things change all the time!

In the meantime, Gary is quite uncomfortable and we are still in our "broom closet" Hoag calls a room. We are waiting patiently for a bigger room to open up so that the boys can actually hang out with their dad and even spend the night!

Please keep us in your prayers.
Pray that if it is possible to raise the money for the SBRT then God provides that way.
Pray that the cancer is not out of control - we will know after the CT tomorrow.
Pray for Gary's anxiety to subside so that he can focus on getting better and coming home!
Pray for sleep for both of us!

We love you all and Happy Sunday!
Lisa

PS - no time for spell check so sorry!
