Thank God for Wonderful Children

God is so good to have given Ken and I wonderful children who care about us. Karen & Tresha have been such a blessing...especially this week. Karen is a RN and has been such a great help in taking care of Ken. Tresha has been there for anything we need. She lives about 3 miles away so she is here often.

Ken has had a rough week. At first I didn't know if he would live through the week. He had a good day yesterday and I know it was because of all the prayers that have gone up for him. God is truly an awesome God!!

The hospice people have been a blessing also. They have provided Ken with an oxygen concentrator so he can have oxygen 24/7 if he wants it. His pulse oxygen count was 94 before the oxygen, which is good, but the oxygen has given him that extra boost that he needed.

Please keep praying for Ken as he desperately needs his healing to be complete. Thanks so much for your prayers.

Love,
Mary

Here are some pictures of Ken and I with Ken's three children, Bryan, Craig, and Tresha and their families. The last photo is of everyone that was here for a McCoy Family Reunion. Ken's three children, their spouses and all of their children. (Ken's children are just like my very own even though they are my Stepchildren. They are wonderful children.) Ken's Sister. Rena; her daughter, Melissa; and Melissa's three children were here. These photos were taken on June 19, 2007, while Ken was undergoing chemo and radiation:

Here is a note from Retha about Rhonda. I thank God for her healing!!:

Rhonda Is Really Bored at the Hospital

Rhonda may come home tomorrow, Tuesday, if her fluid levels are still good like they were today. She'll stay at my house a few days before going home. She's doing so good, I doubt she will stay with me long. They moved her to another room because her room was too hot. Her new room number is 3003; her new phone number is 272-4279. She is really bored up there.
I really appreciate all your prayers and asking your churches to also pray for her. It gives me a lot of moral support knowing I have a loving family and friends to turn to in times of crisis. It's really a miracle that I'm not a basket case right now. We are all still praying for my sister Mary's husband, Ken, who also has cancer; we're praying for a miracle.
Thanks, I love you,
Retha
