CarePages updates

Great news from the Daniel's (keepdaninyourprayers) and Kurzhals' family (TheWrongGuy) Care Pages. Both Daniel and Bob are home, though still facing intense continuing treatments.

News from Daniel's mom (updated 4/29):
We are home and doing fine! No hospital visits last night. Dan had a lot of energy this weekend, which is good to see!
Great Bobby Brady reset from the same post:

His voice is also changing a little bit. It is higher pitched than usual. I tease him and call him Bobby Brady. Of course, he has no clue who I am talking about.
Daniel and his family continue to inspire and share their faith:

We have had mostly positive things to say about what is happening with Dan. I think we have done this, because he has actually been dealing with this in a very positive way. We really have not had to deal with all the bad side effects that could be happening when he has his treatments. I think we have our moments where we can't believe this is happening, but we have to be strong for him. It is quite stressful at times when you sit back and take everything in. It's also a thing where you learn a lot of patience, because things take time and you have
no control over what is going on. Thanks for the continued support and prayers!!!!!!!!!


If you're still having trouble counting your own blessings, read Bob Kurzhal's most recent post (from 4/25):

I do not mean to minimize the experience, but we really haven’t loss anything that is truly meaningful, as some of you have. In fact, I know our family has gained a stronger deeper faith, which, isn’t that what the Christian life is/should be all about.
Please allow me to pontificate. God answers all prayers, He just doesn’t always answer prayers in the way we want. If he did it would, we would all be running around like overly-indulged, spoiled little Christian (or maybe non Christian) brats. If needs or requests are delayed in a balanced manner, the individual becomes stronger, and develops, patience, faithfulness, and self-control.
God sent a bunch of angels to the aid of our family. Don’t take this the wrong way, but part of the problem is that many of you do not exactly look like angels (ie., wings), but nevertheless in my/our eyes you are.

The feast of St. Peregrine is May 4 - Pray, pray, pray!
Graciously hear the prayers for Daniel and Bob which we present O God, to you in honor of St. Peregrine, your beloved servant and patron of those suffering from cancer or other life-threatening disease. Grant that we may receive help in our needs through the intercession of him whose life was so pleasing to you. Hear us in the name of Christ, our Lord. Amen.

4/30 Update

Bob has had a setback and returned to the James a little early. Keep praying, and keep the faith for Bob, Kamela, and their girls.
