Welcome to A Gravel Road Journey!

NOT SO LONG AGO, Dad RE-named his art studio, "A Gravel Road Studio", and so this seemed an appropiate title for his blog.

Why 'Gravel Road'? As Dad explains, "Gravel roads take us off life's busy highway and force us to slow down. When we slow down we have time - time to notice the things around us; the things that matter the most; life and breath, the flowers and the trees. Gravel roads allow us to taste the dust of our travel and give us time to breathe."

Since his studio is a place of quiet reflection and contemplation, we wanted to create a space for family and friends to do the same as we journey together down this new and unknown path. We also wish to keep family and friends updated on his diagnoses and treatment, so please check in often for updates and new information.

Oh, the Run Around!

Well, Mom called me this morning to tell me that Dad had an appointment for the MRI and the biopsy...and then her and Dad stopped by this afternoon to say that they've been bumped on the list. :( Apparently there is a little girl that needs emergency brain surgery tomorrow, so Dad's biopsy has been postponed. Of course, our thoughts and prayers go out to the little girl and her family - we hope her surgery goes well!

But now we have to wait until Friday for Dad to get his biopsy. Such is life, right?!?!?! Anyway...the MRI is still a go for tonight. It's scheduled for 9:00 pm, and the biopsy has been moved from tomorrow at 11:30 am to Friday at 11:30 am. I'm sure Mom and Dad are becoming increasingly familiar with the hallways and inner workings of the Health Science Center by now. Thankfully we only live about a block away so if they need a break, they can easily stop by our house.

Anyway...as always, we ask that you continue to pray for us and for the results of all these tests!
