Alan’s Army

Hi all,

Yesterday was Alan’s 26th birthday and we praise God that he is here to celebrate it!
A shared birthday present for everyone in the family (Amber turned 18 on the 7th) was tickets to see Jeff Dunham the ventriloquist in Trenton on Friday night.   We had dinner with friends beforehand and the show was great, a bit crude in parts, but hysterical nevertheless.
Friday was a busy day as it was also Alan’s quarterly MRI and checkup with the oncologist in Philly.  The doctor seemed to think all is well and we should have the MRI results back by Tuesday or Wednesday.
Tomorrow Alan takes a big step and starts the 16 week program at the NJ Commission for the Blind in New Brunswick.  Its a live-in program so he will be there from Monday morning through Friday evening each week coming home only on the weekends.  Please pray for Alan and the staff that the time is well spent, he learns a lot, reaches new heights of self-sufficiency, and has new doors opened for him.

Thanks and God Bless,

Andrew
