Thanksgiving 2008

We had a wonderful time on our annual Thanksgiving trip with the Krah family. Arnie had a tough time esp. the last few days with not feeling up to being outside...Can't blame him with all that poison in his body still. Please continue to pray for him and the family. Here are a few photos of our fun...Enjoy and God bless you. Michele

Continued prayers needed

Hello everyone, Thank you all for your continued prayers for the family. Arnie is all done with treatments as I had stated in my last blog, however the treatments have left him very weak and unable to do alot of things. Please continue to pray for Gods healing on him and for the Lord to give him the strentgh to enjoy his life again. God bless you. Michele

Arnie has finished his treatments

I praise God for his continued support for the Krah family. Arnie has just finished his last Radiation treatment. Praise God!!!! Hopefully this will be his time to heal without the drugs and with only the guidence and power of Our Lord Jesus Christ. As most of us know he is the greatest healing power of all. THank you all to who have continued to check this blog and pray for the Krah family. You are truly a blessing. God Bless you and yours.

On a different note we will be going on a weeks vacation with Krah family to the desert to celebrate Thanksgiving and I hope to have many a pictures to post of them on their blog. Michele

Continued prayers

Please continue to pray for Arnie as he has started his treatment and as most of you know it makes him pretty tired and sick. Please pray for God to give him the strength to get through this. Also please continue to pray for Cheri and the kids to have the strength to help him get through this. Thank you to all of you who continue to follow this blog. I will keep trying to keep it updated. Michele

Please pray

Hello everyone, Please pray for Arnie... He is still waiting for the insurance to grant him the radiation. They approved 1 treatment, as if he only needs 1 treatment. If he doesnt get the Chemo he will be ok but he needs the radiation so please keep it in your prayers that they get going soon. Also please pray for the Social Security. He still hasnt recieved any money and they are telling him he won't get it until December. Thank you for your conmtinued prayers for the family. God Bless you. Michele

Sorry for not updating

Hello everyone, Just wanted to type a quick note and let everyone know Arnie and the family are doing well. He will be starting Chemo and Radiation soon. I don't know a whole lot more, sorry. Of you would like to type them a note please feel free to e-mail them krahfamily@yahoo.com
God Bless you all. Michele

Doing well

Hi everyone, Sorry it's been a while...
Arnie is doing well. He is talking a lot better and is looking better each time I see him. He is able to eat more, mostly soft stuff but it is still real food not the stuff from the can. We went to lunch the other day he got biscuits and gravy and a side of applesauce. He commented how good it was.
I recently got a package delivered to my house from Gail (Josh's mom) for Cheri, Arnie and the kids. She and some of her quilting friends (Veronica, Moria, Susie, Susan, Kate, Yvonne, Lorri) had made each one of them a quilt. They are beautiful. Each one is inscribed with a poem and a prayer for each of them. The peom was written by Lorri Chambers
************************************************************************************
This is a quilt of many prayers
made by many with their hearts
each stitch is a blessing that illness,
fear and worry will depart.

Wrap it tight around you
and feel the love of all who made
this quilt of many prayers
just for you.

You may not know them personally
but they are very special and rare,
their prayers silently spoken that
you know how much they care.

So stay strong and win the deeds ahead
and keep your quilt of many prayers close by,
For the ladies of QOR and TF, will keep you by and by.

Lorri Chambers june 1 2008
************************************************************************************
Yvonne also sent $20.00 to Gail to mail the package to me.




I have to say the smile Arnie had on his face when he opened it was priceless. I wish I had the camera out them. He kept saying it was so nice and he couldn't wait to sleep tonight so he could use it. What love had gone into each and every stitch. So if any of you ladies read this blog please know they were all so very grateful. You truly blessed them all. I have to say my littlest one Codey loved the quilts too. He was dragging Dillon's all around the house. (reminded me of Lynis) LOL
I hope that I didnt forget anyone that helped provide for this beautiful, thoughtful gift. May God bless you all. Michele

66RS Game 7-6-08

Thank you to all who attended the game!! We all had a blast!!
Michele

Good visist

Josh, the kids and I went to see Cheri and Arnie last night. We had a nice visit.
Arnie goes back to the doctor on Thursday to see about getting the feeding tube removed and of course to check everything out. He looks like he is healing amazingly well to me. :D We attended one of Dylan's baseball games. Its hard to believe those little guys can play so well. Arnie attended too. (Hes already been a couple of the games) But for me, it was wonderful to see him get out and support D on the field.
Arnie told us he is anxious to get the feeding tube out as it is annoying to have in. He wants to be able to eat real food. I imagine he is wanting some eggs. LOL
They also told us he will start Chemo and Radiation in a few months and it should only last about 6 weeks. I know they appreciate all the cards, flowers and messages sent to them. It brightens their day. Thank you!!! Have a wonderful and safe 4th of July and we all hope to see you at the 66RS game on Sunday!!! Michele

For Arnie

Arnie, I came across a verse today that made me think of you and all you have been through ........
It is
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. You will seek Me and find Me when you seek Me with all your heart. I will be found by you," declares the Lord. Jer. 29:10-14
I hope that this verse helps you to face all the things you must still face head on with a faith in the Lord to guide you. We love you and will be here no matter what.
Josh and Michele

Home at last

Hi all, Arnie has been realesed and is resting at home. Please continue to pray for them as they still have a very long road ahead of them. Thank you, God bless you Michele

Still waiting

Spoke with Cheri today. They are still waiting to be realesed. They have to see a few doctors before they can go home and they havent seen them yet. Hopefully soon. Michele

Visiting

Today Josh and I were able to visit Arnie. He looked great considering what he has been through in the past week. He had good spirits for just going through a strenuous surgery. He was excited to see the kids as today was the first day Hailey was able to see him. He got up out of bed and we walked down the hall to a window where you can see the helicopters land. We just talked and visited and it was nice to see he has not changed at all. He is still the same Arnie that we all love so much. He has his sense of humor as well. He was laughing with us. The doctor said if he is able to eat and drink on Monday he can go home. So pray for that. The doctor also said he is healing extremely well which is wonderful news of course. He still has a long road ahead but he is such a strong man I just know he will face it head on and show this sickness who's boss.

Thank you for reading and God Bless you all. I will write again soon. Michele

New prayer request

I just got word this afternoon the doctors said Arnie may be released as early as Tuesday of next week. Depending on how he does.
They are also talking about placing a feeding tube in his stomach since he cant eat through his mouth just yet.
Please pray for these things.

Lord, I ask that you give Arnie the will to get up and move around. I ask for you to fill his body with strength for him to move. Please help him manage any pain he may be feeling. I ask that you give the doctors the knowledge they need to determine the right time for him to be released. Lord, I also continue to pray for Cheri. You know her needs right now and I just ask you to help her with whatever she needs at all moments of the day.Lord, I also want to thank you for giving me such wonderful friends. They have touched me and my family in more ways than I can explain. Please keep them close in their time of need. In Jesus name, Amen

Good Morning

I pray this post finds you all and well. Arnie is trying to talk but having a hard time since they removed everything from one side of his face. He will have to learn how to talk with a new mouth. The doctors ran tests and everything has come back negative so no more cancer. Praise the Lord. He will still need Chemo and Radiation but hopefully for not too long. He is not in alot of pain...Only some in the rib area from removing of the rib and the leg from the knee up to the hip where thy did the graph. But Cheri didnt mention any in his face. What a relief he must feel for that. Will write again soon. God Bless you. Michele

Thank you from the bottom of my heart

I just wanted to write a quick note and say "THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART" There are so many of you that left messages for this family and you dont even know them. I know the day will come that Arnie will be sitting there all better and be able to read each and every one. I know that the type of person he is he would want to thank each and everyone of you. While he is unable to do so I will say Thank you!! God Bless you all and may all these messages encourage others that comes across this blog to pay it forward. Michele

"Someone told me a long time ago angels live among us, I am starting to believe"

Out of surgery

Arnie is out of surgery and in Intesive Care. He is still very sedated but has spoke a little. Please continue to pray as this is not near over and the road will be long and hard.


Lord, I ask that you continue to lift Arnie up and heal his body as rests. I pray you continue to be at Cheri's side and give her peace and hope. Lord, you know the plans that you have for them and I just pray you show them the plan for they have a reason to look to you. In Jesus name, Amen.
