Saturday September 20...12:30 pm - Day 17

Robert is sitting on the edge of his bed finishing his second bottle of "Creamy Vanilla Smoothie" - Barium Sulfate...getting him ready to go get his CT scan. He just loves it - NOT! I'm thankful that John Bryson has been here to help coax him through it...I think he listens to John better than me! His X-ray this morning was clear of the barium left from his swallow X-ray 2 days ago, so yeah! he will have his scan of his pancreas shortly. We are hoping to find the pancreas has started to shrink, without forming any cysts. I'll let you know what we find out! The lucky guy got to have two IV's put into his arm...however not intentionally - the first one went in the wrong spot. John distracted him through that process too! Thank the Lord for good friends.

This is crazy to think that now the comments written here aren't just read by Jeanette, Rosanna and Robbie! Now they're for you, Robert, too!! Praise God! It's awesome to see photos of you sitting up on your hospital bed. We hope to see you "in real life" soon.

It's good to hear how many people care about you and are praying for your recovery. I know that God has given you many prayer warriors, who have gathered together and prayed in His name. People in churches, homes, schools, hospitals,and different countries are lifting you up to God in prayer...Wow!! What an awesome feeling to know that this has brought together a community of believers and witnesses of God's Love.

Mom and I want you to know that our hearts and minds are continually praying and thinking of you daily. We know that the distance has kept us from seeing you in person, but we feel we've gone through this with you on this roller coaster ride.

God's has been your strength, stamina, and great physician.

Keep the calls coming...we love to hear your voice and we enjoy all the news and the daily blogs.

God is so good!!! Thanks Jeanette, Rosanna, and Robby for your caring hearts, love, and graciousness.

Love, Mom and Diane
