Half way point...

Beau is at the half-way point in his treatments, now, and he's still feeling pretty good. He feels sick and sluggish a lot but he's dealing with it really well. What a testimony to the power of prayer...can you imagine being in this situation and maintaining a pretty constant good attitude?? I sure can't but Beau has always been really good about that and I think it's one of his best qualities. Since all of this happened, I have never heard him ask the question "Why me??". That doesn't mean he hasn't thought it...but I have seen Beau accept things and go with the flow when other people would be having a meltdown because he understands that we can't always see the big picture...only God can, and that is who we are depending on. Thank you all so much for the prayers that are being said daily for Beau. I'm sure that is the main reason why he is able to keep up this positive attitude.

Mom says he LOVED seeing the pictures that you all have been sending in...he looked at them for the first time yesterday and she said he was blown away! Keep 'em coming, they are helping to keep his spirits up...

Thank you for keeping us updated .Maggie....it helps us know how to pray for all of you. Roger and I have been keeping you all in our prayers and asking God to bring so much attention to Himself in this and that each one of you will feel His constant Presence and Love and comfort. We know that all of this is working together for some good that could not be done any other way....even though we wish that it could. Tell your mom that I am especially keeping her in my prayers because I know her heart...and she wishes it was her instead of him going through this. We also are praying for your dad who I know feels so helpless in trying to protect his child from suffering right now. We pray for all of God's Power to come against this disease and bring complete Healing...all the while bringing healing to other areas in other people's lives that are on the sidelines watching. God has a reason for everything that He allows in the lives of those who trust Him and He will never let His suffer without meaning and purpose. We are Holding up Beau's NAME to the EYES of God.(I don't know how to send a photo of that! :-} Love yall, Toni and Roger

I am so glad to hear he is doing well & at his halfway point. I wish him & his family the best. I don't know Beau personally but I live in Bolingbroke, Ga. and he is in eveyones prayers. I would like to purchase one of the banners that were made if you have any left.
Good luck & I will keep you & your family in our prayers.
