So far so good on the treatments. Allison had another one early this morning and is ready for a couple days off. The boys and I will be heading down this afternoon to Spencer, IN and pick them up. Then we will be going with the Pinion family to Missouri. For some reason Allison thinks she needs to spend time with Chase.... hum... Then we will head back Friday to spend time with Allison and Cindy in Bloomington and go to an IU game Saturday.
The picture I have posted today is Allison and a little girl named Jada. Jada has been having to be sedated during her treatments. The doctors would like her to be able to go through the treatments awake. Jada was very nervous about doing that so they hooked her up with Allison. Allison spent time talking with her and assuring her it wasn't a big deal. Jada even got to watch Allison get her treatment.
This just reaffirms my belief in that God has a hand in all of this and that it was planned that Allison could be there with this little girl. I know we tend, as Christians, to say "It's all in God's plans". How often do we say that but not really mean it? We tend to say that as a way to comfort others. We have to believe it as well! This whole thing was definitely not in my plans for my daughter, for sure. But, this has been a reminder to me of how God does work things out. I could list so many things that have worked out for us during this whole trial. From doctors visits to people we've come in contact with that we never even knew, to all of our family and friends that have been helping us out, to the teachers and administration at Fairfield and at Bloomington South. I am so proud of Allison looking for that opportunity to help someone else out during her own trial. God is most definitely working!
My family would like to wish your family a blessed Thanksgiving! Your encouragements, prayers, hugs and food have meant so much to us. We are thankful for you!
Trent, Cindy, Allison, Tyler and Timothy
