What wonderful news about Grandpa Jim!

Most of you know that Brian's dad (Grandpa Jim) has been fighting a rare form of cancer...thymic cancer. We are so blessed for the news that we received yesterday afternoon! After 6 rounds of heavy chemo, the cancer is extremely minimal now...they plan to zap out the rest with radiation. What is so miraculous about this, is that this rare form of cancer is supposed to be resistant to chemo. Again, what a blessing it is to have Heavenly Father answer our many prayers! We love you Grandpa Jim!

***This photo was taken in Phx when Brian flew out to visit his parents after they heard the news about the cancer earlier in the year. The whole family went to a D-backs game, and this is one of the last photos with Grandpa with his hair! Brian's brother, Brad, moved back to the states after being in Italy, to support his parents during this trying time. How wonderful it is to see a family pull together at tough times like this. I truly believe Grandpa Jim's recovery is directly related to the prayers, fasting, and "togetherness" that has been shown during this trial... The other photo was taken when I went out to Phoenix with TJ in July (he was almost 2 months old) Grandpa Jim was such a trooper during those hard chemo treatments...always being positive and optomistic about his prognosis!
