2:00 pm
Location TBA but in McKinney, TX
(I should have those details on Monday)
The ceremony will be short and cake and smacks will be provided. I am sorry this is such short notice. It just happened and it is very important to not let Mike's last few months gloss over his 19 year career. He has served with everything he had for this country and done so with integrity and honor. He is my hero!
If you could blog if you are coming, it will help with numbers.
We are doing well today. Mike has decided to start wearing Morphine patches to help with the ebb and flow of the pain. We were able to meet with the Oncologist that will follow us and do all our detox treatments today. He is currently in bed and will be doing his IV Therapy all night.
Wendy and Jeff and now here in tandem! Watch out. The house is coming together. You should see the medical center. I am amazed. I will try to take a picture and download it to the blog. We had more TPN, Lipids, and antibiotic IV's delivered. It is amazing how quick you can learn to do something.
Please Pray:
Please Pray:
Mike to eat and drink more
Strength for today
Rest
God's healing hand
Health
Family time
Things are busy, but I can see a small light off in the distance for the first time. I even got a call today from the VA and they are going to send someone out next week to finish up the paperwork we need to file. That is another answered prayer. God is amazing. He is in every detail.
There is this amazing healer in Fort Worth tomorrow, that we may go and see. I don't know if we would have the energy. It starts at 7:00 pm. His name is Andrew Wommack. We have listened to a few of his tapes. I am just so beat down by 6:30. But God will provide if we are supposed to be there.
God Bless you for sticking with us on this long road.

I have been listening to Andrew Wommack recently. Go. You have nothing to lose. Just like the paralytic whose friends lowered him through the roof to Jesus, Mike needs someone to take him where he has no strength to go.
I so wish I could be there for the retirement ceremony!
Praying still...

I wish we could be there for Mike's retirement ceremony. We are very thankful for his service and yours too. He is a hero! Don't forget to send your new email address when you get a chance, Deanna. You're in our prayers. Love, Lynnette
We also wish we could be a Mike's retirement ceremony! I'm so glad you are having one.
Mike, thank you for serviing our country. We are gratful for men like you and appreciate you very much! Deanna, thank you for supporting Mike in his career...it's not an easy road. God Bless you! Still praying...Roxanne and family
Oh how I wish we could be there too! We arrive at West Point that day to visit Tim. Have a blessed time honoring Mike's service. He fought long and hard for our country and I trust the ceremony highlights that. We'll be with you in spirit!
We'll be in touch...

Congrats on 19 years to both of you!! That's the week of Thanksgving...how perfect. We are thankful for Mike's willing heart of service and for Deanna and Elizabeth's!!! Sorry we can't make it physically.
Deanna, has the package come yet? Hope it's in one piece! Lots of love & prayers, Gini for all the Armes
Oh yes, glad to hear about Mike using the morphine patches. My patients really were helped by them.
Praise The LORD that Mike and you all can celebrate the close of Mike's career of service to our Nation and God, and begin the next phase of the adventure with Our Ultimate Commander. May The LORD God Almighty, El Shaddai, continue to be glorified in and through your lives!
In Christ,

Hey Mike,
Wish we could be there too. I hope there is a good turn-out of bonemen. I saw both Joe Dill and Hodges last Thursday when they came to London for a memorial ceremony at St Paul's Cathedral. They both are thinking and praying for you and your family. Sherry and I are doing likewise and have included you in our church's prayer list. I know the retirement decision was tough and I am amazed at how everyone has jumped in to help you guys with the move, tricare, etc.
More later,
Magellan
You know we'll be there! Watching for details!
