Wednesday
I just have to tell everyone what the power of prayer has done for us and for the non-believers I am here to tell you I have witnessed the transformation of a man that was begging me to take him to the hospital a couple of nights ago to a man that heard Grandpa Tucker was almost here so he jumped on his 4 wheeler and took off to meet him down the road. If you all could have seen the look on my fathers face when he drove up; it was priceless. I don’t think he is convinced yet that I have not been lying to him just to get him down here. Robert’s night and morning was bad as it has been the last few days, he could not sleep and started having muscle spasms and still very nauseated. We went to 12th radiation treatment and then had 4th chemo treatment, the chemo nurse pumped Robert with lot’s of fluids, he was unable to speak he could not even take a very small sip of water with out bringing it back up. I could tell his coloring was improving after the 2nd bag of fluids. When we got home Robert actually emptied the bathroom trash can all by himself and without me even asking him to. I was very grateful, next thing I know he went outside and got his 4 wheeler out of the shop and he was gone. He was gone for about 45 minutes; I was worried and thought I should go look for his sorry butt. But he came riding up with a big ole grin on his face. Of course I jumped all over him because of the sun exposure to his neck. You can see in the picture Oscar was excited Daddy was feeling better too. I just can not tell you the difference in Robert. We are so thrilled and we know not to take these great times for granted. Robert said getting back to work and riding that 4 wheeler is his goals. I could not wait to update the blog and let everyone know how wonderful Robert’s afternoon has been with thanks to all of you and our Heavenly Father!
Lots of Love and Gratitude,
Robert and Judy
Ps. Dana, Robert said to tell Jimmy, Robert Olen said when he gets better he will come see him.

ROBERT, THE PICS LOOK GREAT. ITS SO GREAT TO SEE WHAT THE POWER OF PRAYER CAN DO. THIS TRULY WOULD OPEN ANYONES EYES IF THEY WERE A NONBELIEVER. I JUST CANT WAIT TILL WE GET THIS OVER WITH SO WE CAN FIRE THOSE JET WHEELERS UP. I LOVE YOU MAN. THE MANIAC
YAY!!!! Praise God a good day!!!! I love the good days. We will pray that there are more good days to follow! I am sooo glad you got to ride your 4 wheeler! I know that alone makes you feel like your old self again! Another secret is if your stomach can't handle the nutrition then they can run the tube a little farther into your small bowel so you still get the calories and vitamins but it doesn't sit in your stomach where it can be thrown up. They did this to Chris and it helped slow down the weight lose. Also home health can give you a continuous feeding pump for home so Robert can get small amounts at a time over 24 hours. (Judy it makes nursing easier!)Please know that I love you guys already and will continue to pray for you both! Our God is an awesome God!!!
Judy & Robert,
Wow! God is awesome in what he can do! Thanks so much for the update, I can just see Robert on that 4-wheeler grinnin like a possum! Thanks for making my day! Love to you both & hang in there!

I was gone for 4 days to Philadelphia for an art show to buy for our gallery and this is the first opportunity I have had to visit the site in one week. I have spoken to you Judy and felt in my heart and spirit the suffering Robert was going through this last week. Therefore, I have waken up in the middle of the night to pray for God to take away the pain and nausea and to lift Robert up and carry him through this trying time. It is always the first pray I pray when I wake up and a prayer I utter through out the day. I have contacted all my serious prayer friends since I became aware that you were having such a difficult time this week. Yes, you can imagine my face to sign on to your blog and see the photos of you and to hear Judy's story. Praise God. He is an AWESOME GOD and he does answer our prayers. I know ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE WITH GOD... Hang in there. I am so proud of both of you this is a monumental test and God must be very proud of both of you. Squeeze the pocket angels when you are having a tough moment and pray with all your might. God will give you HIS strength when you have none of your own and you will mount up like the wings of an Eagle to fly high above this illness very soon. Be strong in God and this too shall pass. I wish so badly that I lived closer so that I could get in my car or my imaginary 4 wheeler and come to see you both for the weekend. You are both in my constant prayers. I feel your pain to the depths of my soul and cry when you cry. Robert if you are having a bad day please have Judy call me and I will pray with you. I am always just a call away. Pray changes things as you are certainly evidence of that fact. Thank God!!!! you are feeling better!!
PS. I have been going to Seacoast church since 1999. They have about 3,000 members. I have no idea who the ladies were that wrote those letters that I sent to you. I placed a written prayer request for you in the prayer box right after your surgery. I have done this many times for other people as wellover the years. However, this is the first time that I have ever received a letter from anyone at the church telling me that they were in agreement and praying for the individual that I had requested pray for. I did not get ONE letter that week I got TWO from complete strangers. Yes, you do have a might team of unknown earth angels intercedeing for you. Think of that when times are tough and hold on to the pocket angel for dear life. Visualize all the angels that are surrounding you and carrying you through this time.
Love and hugs,
Terri
