We are headed to the Washington Coast, Ocean Shores area, to spend the Thanksgiving Holiday with my (MB's) family. We are excited to spend time with cousins, aunts, uncles, Amah and Poppy, nieces and nephews...and will miss those family members who aren't able to join us! We get to make Bruce's famous mashed potatoes for about 40 people....fun times!
HUGE HIGHLIGHT: Spencer showed up at the house Tues night as a surprise for his brothers and sister...oh man, I'm sure the whole neighborhood heard the screams of excitement and pure joy when the kids saw their big brother! They all had a good time touching Spencer's beard (face fuzz right now) and catching him up on all the happenings over the last 3 months. Spencer loved sleeping in his own bed, having some real food and just hanging at home. HE WAS GREATLY MISSED! I had all my baby chicks gathered together, the family was complete and this 'mother hen' was so content!
NEW NEWS: We found out on Monday that our insurance does not cover clinical trials. We were sad to hear this news but totally aware that God is in control, He knows what we need and He will take care of us. We are in the process of checking out what our costs would be for the trial, what additional expenses the study will cover and see what our options are. We continue to walk hand in hand with our Lord, step by step trusting Him and living one day at a time.
IN EVERYTHING GIVE THANKS, FOR THIS IS GOD'S WILL FOR YOU IN CHRIST JESUS!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
Love,
The Alexanders!

Hi, Bruce & MB!
I've been keeping up on all your posts, and thought it was about time I post a comment. I admire you for your faith and courage through this formidable trial. I know that there are low times, as well.
We continue to be thankful for all that God is doing in you and through you, both seen and unseen. You are in our thoughts and prayers often. I know that every trial we face in this life allows us to see the face of Jesus in a different perspective than we would have otherwise, but it doesn't necessarily make it any easier. I have to trust that our prayers help in some way to ease your burden.
We love you,
Jim and Corliss
So glad you were able to spend time with Spencer and MB's family over Thanksgiving. We continue to pray daily and will now pray for God's complete provision of every need, including the costs of the clinical trial. Praying and trusting with you!
Mary Beth and Bruce,
I am blessed and grateful for having you in my life.
Hugs and Daily Prayers,
Marlene J.R.
Thinking of you, Abigail
