Sales Director Qualification Update
Okay, so maybe it's not "ALL" about John. I did want to give all of you an update on our progress at this point. All of our production for DIQ (Director-In-Qualification) is complete! That is the amount of products that we order from the company as a qualifying unit. In order to be completely finished, we need 9 more unit members. Please pray for us the remainder of the month that we will find 9 new consultants in the next 11 days! I appreciate everyone's help and prayers and know that God will continue to bring us through this journey!

Surgery Date
Well, the doctor was very prompt to get back with John yesterday about scheduling a surgery date. We are on the books for Tuesday, March 10th. Most likely, we will travel there the morning of Monday, March 9th and come home in the middle of the day on Thursday, March 12th. At least this trip will be much shorter...and a little more planned! I'll post more when it gets closer to time... Thanks for your prayers...we know they made a difference!

The Results Are In!!!
What a blessing! John just got the call from the Orthopaedic Oncologist at MD Anderson, and he actually said that pathology has no idea what it is...so...Praise the Lord!...it isn't sarcoma!...AND at least there is no definitive answer that it would be cancer. On the other hand, they aren't going to declare that it is not cancer. The good sign is that his chest x-ray and CT Scan came back clear, so there is no evidence that anything has spread to his organs (mainly the lungs in this case)!...another answered prayer!
So, I'm sure you are thinking...what's next? We will go back to Houston for surgery at the beginning of March. The doctor said there was no rush on it and his schedule is pretty booked for February. They will plan to take the whole tumor at that point, but will have to avoid the area around it since it is so large and in his forearm. It sounds like it will be a pretty intense surgery, but we trust that everything will come out okay. He will just plan to stay one night in the hospital, and we will be able to come home for the majority of his recovery...another blessing! It will probably be a couple of weeks before he will have use of his arm again, and at least a month before he can be back to his normal activity...which seems like a minor issue at this point!
I think they will just continue to monitor him and probably do a little more testing on the tumor to try to make sense of what is going on. I believe it is an answer to prayer...that doctors may not ever be able to explain! Thanks so much for all of your prayers and support!
Thanks so much for all of your continued prayers and support! It has been such a blessing to have such a large circle of friends that have rallied around us during this trying time!

No Chuck E. Cheese
We are home! Yeah! It was so great to see the kids! It's amazing how easy it is to jump right back into my roles at home! Jocelyn was stuck to me like glue for the first half of the day today, but once she realized Mommy wasn't going anywhere, she went off and played independently as usual.
Jackson and Joy were very disappointed last night though because we weren't able to go to Chuck E. Cheese. I think our original plan was to hopefully arrive on a weekday and take them when no one else would be there (which is what we normally do). But, needless to say, on a Saturday night, it was packed. The line was out the door to get in and we could see that it was wall-to-wall people inside. Not good. So, much to their dismay, we went and played on the playground at Chick-Fil-A and had dinner there. It wasn't the best way to start off our homecoming...disappointing them like that, but I think they are over it now.
The orders are still coming in! Thanks to all of the great referrals you have all given me! And, I know this is crazy, but I'm really, really close to finishing my Sales Director qualification, so we are thinking that I will try to finish that up this month. I didn't expect it to happen so quickly, but it really does seem like great timing. I would make almost twice as much money in monthly comission checks with just a few hours more of work each week. At this point, with added travel expenses, it really seems like God's provision for our extra needs right now. Please join us in praying for that, and know that I truly appreciate any contributions that you have made to my business! A year ago I had no idea why God was bringing all of this back into my life, but now I'm starting to see why it was a part of His plan! Okay, I plan to leave you alone with the updates for now until we get the results back from the biopsy...hopefully by Friday!
