Ashley's New Year Post


"It's 12:45 and CP is finally sleeping. It's been a nerve racking week and thank you for all the love, support and prayers.

This was scary because CP really felt like it was a malignant tumor growing in his arm. We will hang our hats on the good news today and rejoice that it was not a malignant growth.

I know how hard this is for me and I can't imagine how hard it is for him. From now on, when anything looks or feels worrisome it will be hard for all of us not to freak out. At least this is one that we can say turned out to be not as bad as we thought.

But NOW we have to figure out what is going on inside his arm to cause him this severe pain, non flexibility and bulge. The battle continues for him and it makes me so aware of what a struggle it is everyday with not only the fear of cancer but his reconstructed arm. It makes you realize why this guy needs to blow off some steam!

he truly is amazing and his strength and courage unwavering. If you could see half of what he is put through with these biopsies, surgeries, treatments, showing no signs of fear...you would be bewildered.

love,
ashley

p.s. don't ever tell him "try putting neosporin on it" unless you want a hard laugh"

....I'm one lucky guy to have her...and my arm. Now it's back to Duke for the third straight day since New Years to try to uncover the mystery of the golf ball in my arm.

Love,

CP

I just happened to log in the day you posted the news of the latest MRI, etc. I am constantly amazed at how God works in our lives to bring us to the places we need to be. Have had the prayer lines open and working and am so relieved to find today that it seems another hurdle has been cleared. You are the third bit of good news on the health front this week for friends in incredible places. While God's plan is not always our own, it sure is nice when the two seem to be on the same wavelength. Hope to see you soon...
xo,
Kim

CP,
Try putting Neosporin on it.

I hope the laugh was very hard. (sorry, i had to repost it to correspond to Verm's post).

And you are right, you are very lucky to have her!

Clyde and Ashley,

Love and prayers from the Davis family.

If that neosporin doesnt work, be sure and try some WD-40 (ask Jennifer the next time you see her).

Wishing yall a good weekend.

Holler!

Happy to hear the news, Clyde. Am sure the "golf ball" sucks, but glad its benign. Much love from C'ville.

Glad you can breathe for a moment. I hope the golf ball turns out to be some ridiculous doctor/golf humor and they can just quickly remove the titleist from your arm.

We're thinking about you - Bill @ WFS
