Nan gets to hold baby Timothy

Dear Friends and Family,

We are home from MBA after a quick trip that turned out wonderfully. It was so good to see baby Timothy, Jo, Jason and Grammy Julie. Timothy is a beautiful little boy in every way. He is strong, moves his muscles, opens his eyes, turns his head and just charms you in a second. Jo is such a good mom and is gradually growing stronger but is still having antibiotics to deal with some stubborn infections. All three are getting used to Timothy's schedule of feeding, resting and then feeding again.

Nan got to hold him many times including an afternoon time when she fed him his bottle, burbed him and they even took a nap together. Nan slept well last night with minimal pain meds and maximum sleep. We didn't really wake until 8 this morning. The weather was blissfully cool there and we enjoyed having our windows open. We arrived there last evening and left this evening at about 7 arriving home around 10. It seemed I hit every bump in the road and Nan felt them all but we had a safe trip and so did Dana who followed behind in the van listening to her Harry Potter book on CD.

I have included some more photos of our little dude and we send our prayers for the little family as they adjust to this precious new arrival. We thank them all for letting us visit and enjoy this precious person.

Tomorrow we are required to take Nan to the doctors office to sign her application for AMN107. Does that mean we get the drug tomorrow? I don't know and neither did the person in the office. We are so thankful that it is getting closer. Nan is much stronger now than 3 weeks ago. She handled the steps into the motorhome very well and can not sit up by herself and stand quite well too. Her mind is clear and she even corrects me at times, like I would ever need correcting?

Please keep Nan's tumor grown before the Lord asking Him to deal with those nasty things in His way.

Love

tim and nan and dana and john
