On My Mind Today...

...my nephew, Gaige. (I'm so possessive. I guess, technically he's Dave's, too...and Rob's, and Kelly's, and Shane's, and Erica's.)


Dave is the middle son of three boys. The youngest brother, Steve, lives in Northern California with his wife and 3 kids. Steve's oldest child, Gaige, our nephew, has been having a pain on his right side just under his rib cage for the last seven weeks. They've taken him to see specialists, had all kinds of testing done, tried different treatments and nothing is helping and the pain seems to be getting worse. We've all been wracking our brains (and surfing the net late into the night,) and we're coming up empty handed. Needless to say, we're feeling very worried and frustrated and somewhat helpless at this point. Your prayers and healing thoughts would be so much appreciated.

Cole, Gaige, and Emerson - Cabo '08

*Also on my mind today...Teacher Robin and those who lost loved ones on 9/11. May peace be with them. May peace be with us all.

*And one more thing...Cole's off at the first dance of the school year. Guess what he wore...one of Dave's shirts...and it fit him. Now that blows my mind.

Will keep Gaige in my prayers. Please keep us updated. I hope they figure it out soon.

poor guy. kids in pain is heartbreaking and nerve wracking and I can only imagine how frustrating. I hope they can get to the cause/source of that pain, and that it is easily remedied somehow.

prayers headed your family's way from AZ...(I guess technically they're headed up, in behalf of him.) :)
