A Praise and A Prayer

Happy Friday to you all!! 5 weeks for me!

Those who read up on Zach's thumbs are probably wondering how they are and in the least, if they are still attached. To everyone's relief, they are both still attached. He did cut the left one down to the bone and got 7 stitches. The right one had a chunk of flesh taken out. He was stitched and bandaged up. He even drove home with totally numb thumbs. It made for interesting hand holding this whole last week. I bandaged him when I could though, he refused to wear the Dora Band-Aids that I wanted to stick on. So after a week of inconvenience and a little pain (or a lot depending on the accidental impacts on the wounds), he is doing great and handholding is practically back to normal!!

My prayer request is for my Grampa Swopeand my family. We found out yesterday that he has advanced melanoma cancer. It is in his lungs and there is fluid too. Considering all the options, they will most likely giving him a pill. He is advanced and it is very aggressive and the pill doesn't work for a lot of people. So the doctor gave the realistic time frame of 6-9 months to live. He is uncomfortable with recovery from the mild staff infection, but he isn't in pain. He and Gramma are doing well right now considering things. He and Gramma are Christians and we all trusting in the Lord to provide and guide. Hopefully, we will be able to see him in a few weeks down in OK or if they can't come to wedding, then Zach and I will swing back up from our honeymoon and see them. Thank you for your prayers!
