*Update
We have a blog button now! Copy and paste the Praying for Caleb button on the right for your own blog and/or myspace page. (The one with the scroll bars)


Hello Everyone!

We would first like to express our sincere gratitude for your prayers for our family during this time. We believe in a God that heals and we are fully trusting God to see Caleb through this. Praise God that we do not have to walk this path alone, but that we have a savior who holds us in the palm of His hand.

For those of you who may not know the details of everything going on, Caleb, the youngest of Cindy's four boys, was diagnosed this week with Ewing's Sarcoma; this is a type of bone cancer. Caleb is twelve years old. He does have an aggressive tumor located in the lower part of his right leg. The tumor is wrapped around the bone and is in the tissue surrounding the bone. His local pediatrician is sending him to specialists in Oklahoma City for further testings and treatments. As of today he is in the city for a CAT scan of his chest and for a bone scan.

We are hoping to use this blog as a way of letting friends and family keep up on what is going on, as things are sure to get hectic in the coming weeks. We would also like to continue to ask for your prayers during this time. If you would like to leave Caleb a note of encouragement, that would also be appreciated. If anyone has any specific questions please let us know and we will get with you as soon as possible. (Assuming we have any answers)

Thanks again! -Aimee (Ben's wife)
