Newest Changes

Just a quick note to let you know that Gary is still in the hospital. He had a transfusion last night, and we hoped he would be released today.

New complications arose last night and early this morning. His left shoulder began to hurt immensely more than before, and his legs have started hurting as well. The doctor believes there may a clot in his left arm, and that is what is causing the pain. He will be having an ultrasound sometime today. The leg pain we attribute to the lack of activity.

Regardless, Gary is struggling with breathing again, and if he has a clot, that would be a normal side effect. If there is no clot, the difficulty breathing may just be a "resolve of cancer". We just don't know.

Pray for a quick and astute diagnosis. Gary would like to come home, but we won't be doing that until we ascertain what the issue is. Pray for peace and comfort for him and for us, his family. As we have always prayed and believed, Gary is in the Lord's hands, and we want Him to do what He sees fit.

We love you and may God be praised in all we say and do.

Ms. Hope, Gary, and Erin please know that we are praying for Gary's speedy and miraculous recovery. Yes, Gary is in God's hands and we can't help but remember God's promise to never leave us or forsake us. Remember Romans 8:28. Brother Gary, you have always been an inspriation and encouragement to me. It was such an honor to finally meet you last year when my son (Julian) was enrolled in Ms. Hope's class. Meeting you was a delight and an honor. You are always in my prayers. Ms. Hope, do know that Julian is praying with you and he misses you. He wanted to know if you husband is feeling better and he hopes you return soon. God bless you all and you are ALWAYS in our hearts.

In Christ,

The Favors Family
Reginald,Sonja,Julian and the rest of the kids (Ms. Hope you know we have a clan....:)
