BIG Surprises!

I just wanted everyone to know that I got to drive Colin HOME today! He was let out on a pass until FRIDAY!!!! WOWEEE! We never told the boys, so we drove to mom and dad's and surprised them! it was awesome! Corban just couldn't believe that we were home with him! How i've taken for granted just watching them play, and how cute they are! What a great week this will be! I just wanted to ask for some specific prayers, if that's ok. Colin is so happy to be home, but he tires very easy, so please pray that his health and blood counts will continue to stay stable and be on the rise to normal ranges. Also, that no fever or infections will affect him in any way, that would force us to leave early! It means SO much for Colin to see his boys and for us to be a family, even just for a few days! My prayer is that the days will go slowly, so we can maximize our time together!
i'll make sure to post how we're enjoying our week! Just wanted you to share in our joy! What a blessing to be home! All under one roof!

His next schedule of chemo begins already on Friday when we arrive in Calgary, i guess the quicker they can move through this process, the quicker it can all be over with and we can have Colin back home for good!
Love all your comments! Our world has some pretty amazing people in it!

Luv, Missy
