UPDATE ON TC.....

Well I finally got to talk to TC today. He is staying strong in his vision to get into treatment, but admits that he's having a hard time right now.

He's been home for 3 days. A milestone! They were able to treat the lung to try and stop it from filling with fluid and so far, it seems to be doing the job.

We didn't stay on the phone long. Anything "extra" takes a lot of energy from him. We were able to let Logan tell him "TT" and "Bye, wuv you" and that did bring a chuckle from TC. The baby has NOT forgotten him and when he hears me talking on the phone, if I mention TC's name, he starts yelling to talk to him. They have a very special bond these two. His little prayer always includes TC. He doesn't utter the prayer, but folds his hands while we pray for his Uncle TC. I know God and His angels are listening.

Faith is not doing good right now either. This is really taking a toll on her and she has missed some treatments because of the time factor involved in helping her dad. Please include her in your prayers. She and Joel have done everything they can to take care of TC in the best possible way. It's no wonder he loves her so.

To everyone who remains steadfast in their prayers and well wishes, Thank you. I will again update when there is more news. Hopefully the next time I post, it will be to announce that he has at least started radiation for the brain cancer and perhaps even the other long awaited treatment.

God bless........

Miss V knew that TC just had to be doing better! (See post 6,590). She was also alot less cranky, and even seemed to get along with her grandpa much better last weekend.

Must be TT's prayers, along with those of zillion others. But I think the little guy's probably carry an extra special priority.

Prayers continuing, as always, for TC, Faith, and family.

So thankful to hear that TC is able to be out of the hospital, and that the lung is not filling with fluid!

Joining you in the hope that he will begin the radiation soon, to get rid of the brain cancer. Our constant prayer is that he will strengthen and improve enough to receive the treatments needed, and be blessed with healing, and return to good health.

I'm so glad to hear the sweet story about TT getting to talk to his Uncle TC on the phone, and tell him that he loves him. Things like that are such a boost to the spirit.
And, you are so right, Nana, God does hear the prayers of his little ones! I know He is touched by Logan's prayers. I hope and pray we all get the answers we want so very much. His Holy Will be done in all things.

Thank you for the update. Hugs and prayers for Faith and Joel.

Dear Nana and TexasCowboy,

This encouraging news is evidence our prayers are always heard.
Look back a year to the beginning of TC's present road, full of potholes and quicksand. No matter what the devil strewed in his path all these months - two misdiagnoses, a broken femur and the negativity from physicians in Texas, setback after setback, hindering the start of aggressive treatment - it was overcome.

In every instance, God moved the football steadily forward toward HIS end of the field!
He let TC handle the flight from Texas to California, to the loving care of his daughter and her husband; and where he could emotionally support her with her difficult health issues.

In the past month I placed a hedge of protection around my two sons in Florida when Wilma reared her ugly head, 'eyeing' them.
Kevin lives in Lake Worth (by West Palm Beach), and Wilma roared directly over his house, buffeting him with 113 mph winds. They went outside to check on neighbors during the eerie lull within it, and it lasted for a full hour before the other side slammed them again.

Steve now lives about 50 miles to the north of there, but actually had a harder time, with the top wall of the eye hitting him nonstop for hours.
While Kevin had the calm eye and brief lulls between trailing west bands, Steve had no letup until it went out to sea.

They both lost power - Steve's came back on that night - Kevin had a generator, and power was restored a day or two later.
Neighbors around Kevin had their patios ripped apart, and other damage - he sustained only a torn screen on his back porch, easily fixed.

Steve did not fare as well, the sideways-driven rain hitting air vents under both ends of the roof - water flooded the attic and spread down the walls, and seeped around the windows, getting the carpet and padding in the bedrooms wet for 6" inside.
It also tore up some sections of his newly installed 6' wood fence around the back yard, uprooting the concrete footings and all.

Those can all be repaired, and their life was not substantially disrupted.

God does indeed hear every prayer, answering His way...

Giving prayers every day for you, TC, for Him to continue to give you strength and peace...God is using you to show us here your steadfast walk with Him, drawing out our love for you to surround you, and to see the fruits thereof.

All of us walk with you, TC, gently holding your hand....

Thanks for the update on TC! God has blessed him with wonderful family that takes care and protects him, with friends around the country who pray for him and love him, and a Father in heaven who listens to every prayer!

The prayers continue for him to get started on the radiation and that the other treatment will finally get started. God keep him in Your strong and mighty arms! Please, Father, give him his health back, if it be Your will!

Checking in from beautiful sunny CA. Eaker & I spent 5.5 wonderful hours with TC, Faith and Joel yesterday.

One of us will give a full report when we get back home.

I would like to ask every one to definitely add Joel to your prayers. He has his hands full and is still a cheerful, wonderful man.
