Al's P.E.T. scan showed cancer in both legs, 2 lymph nodes and 9 spots on his lungs. The good news is 8 0f those spots have been arrested. He has 2 more rounds of chemo, then another P.E.T. scan. If he's had good results, as in ,more arrested or shrunk, they will start the surgeries-possibly 6.It's a long hard road. But in May, when he was in for a round of chemo, we built him a workshop and garage. He had no place for his carpentry tools and was up against selling them. Weldon Laking organized the building of it and we had it up, the roof on and most of the siding done when he got home. What a surprise for him and what a boost at a time when he got more bad news. But Al is believing for a miracle. And so are we!!!His first night , when he got home , he spent until 4 A.M. just looking out at the building and had his coffee setting in it the next morning. We are now waiting to have it wired then the garage doors can be hung. Then the big day when the carpentry tools are put in. Ang and the girls were so excited as well and kept the 'secret' from Al, so the surprise was complete. Friends and neighbors gathered to see his reaction when he first seen it. Of course there was alot of tears, some food and much laughter. Thank God for friends and family. we could never have accomplished so much so quickly without them.
