Praise the Lord that Joshua is doing well. And yes, we would love the encouragement. Thank you for caring enough to write to me, a complete stranger.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07306854704766653209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3354626964012460623.post-62762367258761662502007-03-30T17:48:00.000-04:002007-03-30T17:48:00.000-04:00Laura, thank you very much for your prayers.

I'm sure you feel the same we do in that we wish we could take the pain instead of our child having to deal with it. We praise God that He is so faithful and good. He always does what is right. I hope your two children with the liver disease are doing well.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07306854704766653209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3354626964012460623.post-60792244313410108972007-03-30T17:08:00.000-04:002007-03-30T17:08:00.000-04:00Good post.

It is indeed true that watching our children suffer is incredibly difficult! Your sweet Bobby will be in our family's prayers.Laura in KYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06822896227310250920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3354626964012460623.post-27002007669611383672007-03-30T17:07:00.000-04:002007-03-30T17:07:00.000-04:00I came here via Dave Black's web page.

His treatment went very well with little complication. If you are interested in learning a few things my friends did to help during treatment you can email me at walworthfamily@earthlink.net It sounds like the type of cancer your son has is somewhat similar to Joshes. Any way, I know I'm a complete stranger to you but I or my friend would love to encourage you during this time. God Bless little Bobby. (I wrote about this on my blog. It's in the archives starting in July) Sincerely Janet.Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10750326357523605368noreply@blogger.com
