Hail Mary Pass

From Dave: Barbara has decided that she has three goals. First, she would like to try to live to her birthday. If she achieves this, her second goal is to live until our son David's 8th birthday, and her last goal is to live until our youngest son Dawson's birthday. She met with her oncologist and they decided together to try a dose of chemotherapy. Please pray that it will work, she can come off the ventilator, and that she doesn't develop an infection as a result of the chemotherapy. We are grateful to Jesus for great nurses, wonderful family and friends, and a talented oncologist. Thank you all for your support and prayers.

We got your message last night, and we're praying for you all. My parents, who are traveling, asked me to also send their love and let you know that you are in their prayers, too. - Bridget
