We are ready to fight!

We are starting a new week. The troops are rallying. (Hannah is traveling from the airport as I write.) We are ready for the little surgery Mike will have on Tuesday and we are ready to radiate those tumors with all we can give them! Mike has a lot to do... and by radiating the tumors he is going to get things done!

Our good friends from Florida stopped by today and will stop by again tomorrow. It was wonderful seeing them and sharing experiences. Mike went to a meeting tonight but wants to be texted when Hannah arrives so he can come home. I even made chocolate chip cookies today... That's a first in 3 months!

We hope you will rally with us this week and pray for a great outcome from this treatment. Your prayers have strengthened us beyond imagination. We are not finished...

  2. Give Hannah a big hug from her Aunt Jan! Hugs to all for that matter! May you each find this time together one of faith, good cheer, and continued stength from above.

    Love,

  5. Nancy and Mike,
    I got out ingredients to make something good to eat FOR YOU AND MIKE. It's now 9:30 PM and I haven't made it yet!! It might have been chocolate chip cookies----don't great minds work together?? I'll take on that project tomorrow AM and change the menu. Glad you are back in the fight. We're all in it with you.
    Much Love to all---give Hannah a big hug and some kisses until we get there to do the same.
    Your Mom and Dad.

  6. Seek the Lord and his strength;
    seek his presence continually!
    —Psalm 105:4
    I think about you both every day. I'm glad Hannah is here and with the boys nearby you will feel stronger together.

  8. Nancy,
    I hope you give Mike some of those chocolate chip cookies. Give him some raw dough too. I can't think of anything that would give him more hope. We are praying for you.
    Love,

  12. "...and HE will raise you up on eagle's wings....and hold you in the palm of His hand". That was the psalm (song) you heard from me when you were in Salt Lake City at the music convention. Kay, Darrell and I listened and watched that video just the other night. Thinking of all of you......knowing you will stay strong!

    Hugs,
    Molly

  18. There is nothing better on this earth than
    chocolate chips - I don't even care about
    the cookie part! Here's to the healing
    strength of prayer in numbers (large numbers)
    and chocolate chips!!

    Best wishes to Mike tomorrow. Hello to Hannah
    and so glad that everyone is there together -
    there is strength in numbers, especially with
    a family as strong as the Ellis's. We love
    you and pray for you daily!

    Love, Dan and Jana
