thomas will see the rehab doctor on mon. 4/13 to review ct scans and formulate an approach to treat the spasms. another answer to prayer is that Angel Flight will be flying us to Charlotte at the end of April. we will be picked up at the beaver county airport. it is a stretcher accessible 8 seat piper navajo. thomas was interviewed via video by the pastor of chippewa . e. f. church and will be shown during the 4 Easter services. the roberts family at cefc has blessed us by providing their wheelchair van so tbat Thomas may attend church for the first and last time since last fall. What a Saviour is Jesus!!! He is our Hope in all things past, present, and future.

TOM'S PROGRESS

in the next week thomas will be having CT scans of the cervical, thoracic, and pelvic areas to determine progress of the disease and will see his rehab doctor to decide on further treatment of the muscle spasms that are bothersome. he takes three spasm relief meds but make him very
sleepy. we are grateful for the Lord's continued guidance and providence on the sale of our home. the sale was to be 3/13 but never closed. the new date is 5/1. perhaps we were not ready to move and in retrospect we were not due to infections and issues that set in. please pray for our neighborhood as some of our friends are struggling with the thought of us leaving. our son Nathan especially needs comfort with our imminent separation.

progress update

thomas was fitted for his mobilized wheelchair. nathan and tia always made fun of the hoveround
wheelchair commercials and now their dad is in one. he is having severe muscle spasms continuously and are considering botox injections to the abductor muscles. we are very strongly planning for a 5/1 moving date. i am overwhelmed with the responsibility of managing his 24/7 health needs and dissolving the business and selling our home. thomas will still retain his business line of 724-728-1761 and will refer calls to his contractor contacts if any interest is shown. we appreciate all the love, concern, offers of help, and mostly the prayers.

thomas was in the hospital for a day and then released this past sunday due to a fever and severe muscle spasm. he is feeling better to be under his wife's TLC.

TOM'S PROGRESS REPORT

Thomas is currently enduring 3 infections in his system. He is still unable to move from the waist down due to the thyroid cancer that spread to his spine, yet he has sensation in his legs. He did move his knees (movement generated from the hips) and a toe. He experiences severe spasms quite frequently each day. We are still planning to relocate to Charlotte, NC to be near Tia and Thomas Michael. The oncologist said to go for it if that is our desire. We would like to move by the beginning of May. Pray for Nathan as he must finish college at Slippery Rock and we need our home to sell. Thomas requires 24 hour a day care and I have the privilege to meet that need along with home health care 3 times a week. Thomas never complains and remains positive due to the grace of our Lord that has been given.
