How to Help Make a Miracle

We're still
fighting ALS. The Massachusetts
doctor helped Marcy - both times we saw him - but the benefits
seem to last only a week or so. After that, she continues her physical
decline, so we continue our search.
A recent treatment
since the last site update is live cell therapy. If interested,
you can read more about it at www.extendlife.com/
(click on the "Live Cell Therapy" button.) We went to Tijuana Mexico
for the first treatment in late June. I have been giving Marcy the
follow up injections every other week.
The most recent
treatment is a master violet ray - also known as a Tesla coil. This
device, recommended by our Massachusetts doctor, sends an electronic
charge through a glass bulb filled with a gas and emits a violet
light. As the glass comes close to touching the skin, small sparks
jump from the bulb to the skin. The electrical charge brings the
blood closer to the skin, ozonates the blood and improves circulation.
The unit was sold in the early 1900's as a "cure all"
and was taken off the market by the FDA for fraudulent advertising.
It is now sold mostly as a novelty item.
Marcy is at
the point now where she can barely move her arms. After only one
week of using the master violet ray, we are noticing a little more
movement in her arms. We think the combination of the violet ray
and the live cells are starting to help.
People have
been asking us how they can help. Well, we've thought of something.
Almost all of
Marcy's treatments are outside of traditional medicine, so they
are not covered by insurance.
To help make
sure we don't run totally out of funds and have no money to continue
treatments, our friends from Happy Tales and from Clearview Baptist
Church are working on putting together a golf tournament as a fundraiser
for Marcy.
We'll be posting
more to the website, but for now you can read and download a PDF
of the rough
draft of the flyer to get all the details of the event.
What we really
need right now are sponsors for the tournament, so we can print
the brochures and get people to sign up to play. If you know someone
in a position to influence their company to trade a little money
for some exposure in Williamson County, Tennessee, download
the Sponsor Level form, print it out and talk to them. If you
secure a sponsor, mail the completed form and the check to the address
on the form.
The church is
accepting the donations, so they are tax deductible. All proceeds
will go towards medical treatments for Marcy not covered by health
insurance.
We believe the
cost of Marcy's medical treatments and this tournament to help overcome
that is just another chance for us to spread God's word. I receive
a daily Bible uplink that has helped me through many, many days.
The uplink
from August 14 summed up how this cost we're paying is an investment
in our eternal life.
If you don't
know anyone who can sponsor, consider printing a rough draft of
the flyer and register to play - it should be a fun day.
We are truly
blessed to have friends willing to help us in every way possible.
A couple of
other blessings we've seen since the last web update include:
- Marcy's
parents continue to give up their lives for us. Marcy's mother,
Karen, comes to the house almost every day to care for Marcy
while I'm at work. In early June, Marcy's parents moved into
our old house - just a mile and a half from our current house
- so they are geographically close but can maintain a little
privacy for themselves.
- In May, while
Marcy's father had surgery and recovered for 2 weeks, friends
from church came to the house to care for Marcy while I worked.
We got to learn a lot more about people and they certainly got
to know more about us! We have grown much closer to friends at
church and have started learning that no one is an island - we
are each made to need each other.
- The first
of May our across the street neighbor surprised us with dinner.
She then went door to door in the neighborhood and convinced people
- some of whom we had never met - to make dinner for us. Since
the first of May, a neighbor has brought dinner for all six of
us (Marcy, the kids, Marcy's folks, and me) every other night!
This has been such an unbelievably huge burden lifted. The reduction
in shopping and cooking has been a great time saver, but it has
also taken away the mental strain of having to decide what's for
dinner and turned it into a surprise guessing game. This act of
kindness has taken a drudgerous task and turned it into a regularly
fun event! And, of course, we've been able to get to know our
neighbors better, again learning how it's OK - even necessary
- to need others.
Our
continued prayer request is that we listen for God's word in all
of this. That we learn what we need to learn so that Marcy may claim
the healing that He has promised.
Thank
you for your continued thoughts and prayers.
Rob
