We're home!
I am currently sitting next to Karen and Michelle on the couch while Karen crunches an apple in my ear. 5 days ago this probably would have irritated me. Actually I'm sure it would have irritated me. After the past few days it now sounds like a chorus of angels. (Michelle's crunching on the other hand still irritates me).
I am finally able to show Karen the blog first hand and she is really overwhelmed and touched at your outpouring of love and expressions of sympathy.
Karen has given me permission to post a picture of how she is looking, but it may be a day or so before I do.
Thanks again to everyone. The next big news will come on Thursday or Friday when we find out exactly what kind of cancer it is and then begin to develop a treatment plan.
I'll be talking to you all again soon (probably later tonight).

- Men have the God given honor and responsibility of training the next generation of men to lead and love in their families, churches and society. But knowing that this needs to be done, and knowing HOW to get it done are often two different things. Christian Service Brigade is a 75 year old organization that has been dedicated to helping men accomplish this vital task through: Training, equipping and encouraging men for ministry Empowering men to use their own gifts, talents and experience to teach the truth of God's Word. Encouraging young men and boys to grow in Christ-likeness through relationships with godly men, applying Scripture to daily life, serving Christ together, and memorizing God's Word. Providing materials that give men a practical, fun and dynamic way to disciple young men and boys for Christ. Fostering the skill of fathering through mutual father/son experiences. Our family is excited to be serving with an organization so uniquely positioned to answer this timely and vital need.

Praise God from whom all blessings flow and praise Him that although He does not keep us from hardship, that He keeps us in the midst of it and in spite of it. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

Hey Karen!
It's Eydie from high school. Don't know if you remember me (brain surgery or not!) since it has been so long!
Cheryl just sent out a message letting me know what's going on. From the blogs, it sounds like things are going well. Know that you're in my thoughts.
Take care and maybe we'll come up with our own get-together since our class has been so lame with reunions!
Love,
Eydie
Karen,
We love you and you're in our prayers. We'll see you in November.

Couldn't resist sharing biblical encouragement to an apple-crunching "apple" :)
Love and sweet dreams to you Karen. I'm so glad you're home with David and the kids. You know you can call on me any time for any thing. I MEAN IT!

I just found your blog from Copper's Wife on Xanga. I'd adding it to my favorites. Praying for your dear wife and family. I think it is awesome that in the midst of this great struggle you can still write with humor :-) The great love you have for your wife is shining!

Hello Karen,
Hugo Schmidt here, you gave all of us a pretty big scare! I wonder if there was something in the water at Mt Eden High. I suffered a brain aneurism at the start of the year. Thank God I have fully recovered, as I believe you will too. My prayers are with you and your family.

Hi Karen & Dave -
I have not seen or spoken with you in quite some time. I am so glad Michelle e-mailed me to let me know what you were facing. I want you to know that I am praying for you multiple times daily. I can see by what has already been blogged that you are trusting God. That's all you can do and know that he has a special plan and that no matter what the outcome - All things work together for good,to those who love the Lord - so some good things will come from this situation.
I am happy to know you are home. I cannot believe the small world it is - I told Michelle that I grew up with your friend Smidge! She named her youngest son after my father!
Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers and I will be asking others who don't know you to pray for you and your family as well.

Y'all don't know me, I'm just another homeschooling mom, that heard about you on a homeschooling message board. I want you to know that I (as well as countless others) are praying for you. May God give you His peace, which surpasses all understanding! KLynnTX
So glad you are at home. I hope you had a pleasant night sleep in your own bed last night. Praying for continued recovery and strength as you meet with your oncologist this Thursday. I know you will probably be a barrell of nerves.
Grace and peace,
Nan
I can only imagine how fabulous it must feel to be at home with your kiddos after all that!! Continuing to pray...
Blessings, emily
