BAD NEWS FOR TOMS FAMILY

I am beginning to think all we get lately is bad news. Yesterday, Tom found out that his brother, Randy Phillips, has leukemia. It is a slow kind of leukemia, but the doctors missed diagnosing if for some time. Tom did get to talk to Randy last night and he did sound pretty good Tom said. He was in the VA Hospital, but they sent him home until Thursday. He then goes back in to St. Louis University or Barnes for a three week set of intense chemotherapy. If this does not work, they will begin looking for bone marrow matches. Please keep Tom and his family in your prayers also. Randy needs your prayers!

As for mom, we are heading out to her oncologist in about 2 minutes. Keep up the prayers and we are expecting to receive great news! Joi and I will post an update as soon as we can after mom's appointment. Believe in those prayers! We love you all! Thank you from the bottoms of our hearts!
