Cassie Update 5/18/06

Praying Friends,

A short but "Thank You" full update!

Cassie has been able to keep most of her food down for several days and has been making a few "Rare sightings" appearances around town as she has been out with Kris on several errands the last two days. Her first "I'm hungry" for meal was for a Subway sandwich!

Hopefully, she will even be up to being at Church this next Sunday!

Each day is just a bit better than the day before, and, although still in pain and unsteady on her feet, the "smile is coming back to her eyes."

Tomorrow, Kris and I will be able to go on a hike with some friends from church, and another friend will come and spend the day with Cassie.

Tuesday of next week is a big day. Cassie will have her stiches taken out in the morning and then we will drive to Anchorage (3+ hours) where she will receive her two week post-surgery review. Cassie will be able to sleep most of the trip there and back - - - but pray that she will have the stamina for the trip.

Some of you have given specific gifts to help us thru this time. We are very grateful for God's provision and your sensitivity to our needs. The neatest thing is that Kris will be able to spend most of her time between now and the end of the Month with Cassie, and only show up at New Hope off and on.

Thank you for sticking with us through all of this. Cassie is still my number 1 hero, but all of you who pray and partner with us in ministry deserve "honorable mention." God bless you. He is good - - all the time.
