Thank you all so much for being here every step of the way! I was so relieved when the doctor told us, that I started crying like a baby. I knew I was worried, but I had no idea how much until I felt like a huge weight had been lifted off me. Phew!!

Now you guys are right… if they’ll just figure out what it _is_ soon, maybe we can get a little peace for a bit. He pretty much has non-stop upcoming specialist visits, so if anything noteworthy happens, I’ll give an update ASAP. Thanks once more for holding our hands. You all are my bedrock. {{{hugs}}}

And Bill, I haven’t forgotten you and Dondra. You are both in my prayers daily and Jaceson and I wish her the best with all the love in our hearts. Take care of yourselves!

Awww, sweetie, thank you, and we’re sending that love right back atcha both.

My **D** ’s enjoying getting waited on, I think, 😉 but I really don’t mind. I’ve been doing little bits and pieces anyway before she got sick, so it’s no problemo.

I’ve told her about this not being cancer, and she got the biggest smile on her face!🙂

You take care of yourself and your **Jayceson** , and know that all of your family here is right there with you.

You’re no fool for having faith, **Kemi**. Remember that and _keep_ that faith!

Love

Bill and Dondra
