Tom here!
Amy is getting ready for her 5th treatment on Wednesday. She has been doing great and continues to have a great attitude. We had a big day on Saturday. Katie performed in her last choir concert at East Central College. My mom was able to come down and watch and we all went to Pizza Hut for some greasy pizza afterwards. We also were blessed with Chelsey Wadlow, a student in our student ministry. Amy and Chelso have become pretty close and it was a good day as she spent time with our family. Chelso calls or texts after each treatment to check on Amy and that means a lot to her.
The kids are doing great! We have worked hard to keep their lives as normal as possible. Ian has started baseball and Katie and I have taken on two yards to mow. Schools about out and the kids are getting excited. If all goes well they will spend a week with Grandma Betty in June when Amy and I go to Super Summer with our students. (The if all goes well concerns Amy’s health)
One last thing! We are getting visitors this weekend! Gary and Donna Murphy, Amy’s parents, are coming to the big O-town for a few days. They have been a great source of encouragement during this time. Katie and Ian are excited!
I will post again Wednesday evening at let you all know how the treatment went. Thanks for all of the support, notes, cards, and prayers.
I have been catching up on the blog and am glad to hear how well the treatments are going. Good job on the postings, Tom! Amy, only a couple more left, so hang in there! It is so great that you have such a large support system out there pulling for you and helping you and your family through this time. I am pulling for you too and will be thinking of you on Wednesday. Be sure to say hello to your parents for me this weekend.
Hey Amy…praying for you today:)
Good luck on Wednesday, Amy. I got a much needed hug from your Mom last week, so you take advantage of getting a few when they visit this week! She’s a wonderful friend and Mom! My prayers include you every day and I know the Lord is looking out for you. Glad you and your family are doing well – keep up the good work!
Hey guys! Well I am so excited to hear that your parents are coming down Amy. I am just so excited for you. I know tomorrow’s another day for you, maybe I will get to see you????? I am giving Mom day off tomorrow. So anyways. Thinking of you. Take care.
Hey guys,
Glad to hear things are going well. Good luck tomorrow and I hope you have a great visit with your family.

We are glad that things are going as well as they are, even though we know that there have been many hard times, God is always teaching through every situation. Please let us know if there is anything that we can do.
God Bless,
The Farrar Family

BUDDA, other people call to say warm thoughts, but Amy doesn’t answer. I “really” believe that she appreciates all the thoughts and prayers. B-U-D-D—–A
