Israel I would feed with the finest wheat, satisfy them with honey from the rock.A new med yesterday is helping with the nausea. Nellie fixed Deb cream of wheat for breakfast this morning, and it stayed down. First food to stay down in over a month.
Praise the Lord for the small things, especially cream of wheat.
Blessings,
tom

The co-pay cost for Deb's medications, though changing periodically, is between $6,000 and $7,000 per month. The family is doing all that is possible to reduce this cost through pharmaceutical company programs, grants, etc. The costs of ancillary services (like lab work, etc.) related to Deb's care are generally not covered by insurance, and continue to mount. A recent estimate puts the currently outstanding uncovered medical expenses for Deb's treatment and care at close to $500,000.

"We cannot all do great things, but we can do small things with great love.Intense love does not measure, it just gives.
I have found the paradox that if I love until it hurts, then there is no hurt, but only more love.”
- Mother Teresa of Calcutta"Small things done with great Love will change the world" - Steve Sjogren of Cincinnati
"I pray that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge - that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God." ~Eph. 3:17-19

Very often, I have been quite critical of those who deem themselves as "spiritual parents". The glory of watching your "child" hitting their first home run has to be balanced with cleaning up the dirty diapers and spit up.
Deb and Tom, you have been my spiritual Mom and Dad for more years than I can remember. I often look at a circumstance and wonder how you would handle it. I fail miserably when I realize I don't have what is necessary to reach my goal.
Now it's time for me to return the favor. Mom and Dad, I pray, but you also taught me to look for other action. What can I do? How can I help?
I'm not tough enough (like I know you are) to handle this. I want to ask God if He knows what He's doing (stupid question ... no wonder Peter is one of my heroes). None of that matters now. I'm coming to the party late, but I'm here now.
Hi aunt Deb this is Cassandra Robinson, Bria's step daughter. I sure do wish you the best of all. I love you very much!
love, Cassandra
