Support Group

Dad's support group is so amazing!!! On behalf of dad's disease and the great possibility of losing all of his hair, the boys shaved their heads to show their love and support. Amy volunteered to shave her's too but dad so NO WAY! The girls are not to touch their hair!!! You know we'd do it for you. Love you Dad!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  3. Your extended support group is pulling for you. Many prayers and positive thoughts for you and your family. I met you at Diana and Conway's reception and we had a very pleasant and enjoyable conversation by the pool. I came away from that experience with the feeling of admiration for your family and the love you and Diana share. I have always found her to be an amazing woman and a wonderful example for me in many ways. After meeting you it was clear to me that your influence has made her who she is today. So I thank you for being a wonderful man that has raised remarkable children.

    If there is any thing that Lee and I can do to help out please let us know.
    Give big hugs from us and let them know that we are thinking about them everyday.

  6. Glad to hear that your dad is home again.
    It is good to hear that his bone morrow is clear and that there are no other things going on right now. Morphine sure can mess things up, makes me loopier then loopy. Give him all the hugs and kisses you can and give a bunch to your mom. I know they both are happy for all of you and your family. What a great blessing they have.

    Hugs and love
    Lee and Karen

  7. I just read your post about your dad, and sorry that he his back in the hospital. I hope that all is going to be okay and you know that you have our prayers and thoughts.
    Have you heard any thing about any of you being a match yet? Chelsie would like to be tested also to see if she would match for a bone morrow donor if that would be okay with your family. If you would please let us know and what she would have to do to get the test done.

    All of our love to all of you
    Lee and Karen

  8. HEY A GREAT BIG HAPPY BIRTHDAY SUSIE. I know that you are have a good time and that you would not want to be any where else. Maybe you can order something special for dinner and the both of you can enjoy the evening together.
    Hope that it doesn't have to be jello though.
    What is important is that you are together.
    Lee gives updates at work and they all are concerned and wish you the best.

    Keep hanging in there and be strong. There are alot of people praying for you and your family.

    Love always to all

  9. Sorry to hear that you are still having so many problems Earl. It is hard to be strong for your self and family when it is one thing after the other. The good thing is that you have a strong support group in family and friends that can help carry you through what ever comes your way and that is a great thing to have.
    You know that we are praying for you and all of our love goes for you and yours.
    Be strong and faithful.

    We love you guys

    We have wanted to come and see you but we have a house full of flu and colds. Half of Lees' office have been sick. Right now Lee and Raiden are pretty sick.
    But we still are thinking about all of you.

  11. Lee and I are glad to hear that things are going better for you and Susie.
    Being with family and in your own home helps emontional and with the healing.
    I bet all the g-kids are excited to have you both home with them as well.
    Let us know when you go in for your bone morrow transplant please.
    We are still dealing with colds, seems like one of the gg-kids gets over it and the other one gets it and passes it around.
    I keep saying that we all need to be put in a bubble at the same time so all can get better together. Ha Ha.
    Just found out that we are expecting our 3rd gg-child in Dec.and our 12th g-child in July.

    Keep up your couarge and faith, while we keep up with our prayer and wishes for you.

    Love you guys

  13. To Earl and Family.
    I just read the update and my heart is sadden at the news. As with you I was hoping that things were improving. I know that Earl you have given all you have and I admire you and your family for the strenth of all.I don't need to say it but you all will be in our prayers and you are always in our hearts.
    We have been dealing with health issues here as well. Some have been spreadable so we have not been out much. We have wanted so much to come and see you but didn't want to give you any of our germs.
    If there is anything that any of you need please give us a call,any time.

  14. Earl and family
    Just read Karens' blog. Sounds like it was a fun filled night.I know the times we have come to the weddings we have had a great time. Susie really knows how to put things together. I laughed at your ponytail when I saw the picture,just can't image you with that but Lee does. I always told lee not to shave off his beard that I thought he looked better with it. Today I was looking at old pictures and I'm wondering what the heck I was thinking. HEE HEE.
    We use to give him such a bad time about his wrinkley face and use the beard to cover them up.
    Jeff had a 40th b-day party. People were to dress up for the 80's.Boy some of the outfits were pretty funny.I looked at them and thought how times have changed, but not to sure I like the look of today either.
    We are expecting on 3rd. greatgrand son in about 4 weeks. I don't know how you keep up with all of yours. The 2 here wear me out. We are at the terrible 2's.
    Lee and I would like to come by and see you guys, we are doing great as far as health issues and not worried about passing anything on.
    If one of you would call/e-mail and let us know when it would be a good time for you. I know that you have a lot of company and we don't want to intrude or tire Earl out.
    My love and prayers are with all of you.

Today was a good day for the decorating for the holidays as it was snowing. That always puts u in the mood. I am up with a sick little boy. Hope it is just the flu.
