At Taylor's 2 month check-up she weighed 11 lb. 9 1/2 oz. and was 23 inches long. She's growing and changing so much! Can't wait to see her.
Alan just had his 8th chemo session and has another Petscan scheduled for April 29th. Dr. Diab says that his cancer number is down from 302 to 38, so that is great news! We really contribute this to a tremendous amount of prayer on his behalf, along with great doctors and their knowledge of the newest and best technology and medicines. We expect nothing but the best outcome, but in the meantime, pray for strength and energy, as he's definitely lacking in those areas.

Blessed Easter







We enjoyed a very nice Easter Day with family and friends. Jennifer and Chad joined us at Church on Sunday morning, then a couple guys that Alan works with joined us for dinner. We're in the process of making more of a "media" room in the basement, and the boys had friends over that evening for a movie.

Prior to Easter Sunday, Alan had a port put in for his treatments. We've now gone through the Groshong and Picc Line, and hoping we have better luck with the Port. He spent most of Saturday at the hospital receiving 3 units of blood and platelets, as his body just doesn't seem to be producing enough.

The only downside to this special time was not having Tyler, Shawna and Taylor with us. Taylor is growing so fast, and we can't wait to see her again. In the meantime, we have lots of pictures!
