Time for change

My Dear Friends,

First I want to say thank you for being so consistent in writing me. In times when Brian and I have felt no hope, your words have been there to get us through the day. I have wonderful news! Yesterday Brian and I were on our way back down to San Fran for another check up with the doctors, when I received a call from them. They told me there was no need for me to come in. I have been doing so well that they feel confident that its time for me to strike out on my own!! Thank you JESUS! They have also said that I only need to get my blood drawn once a month. My veins are very thankful hahaha. My God is in control and has a plan for me and my family. Although we do not know our future, we are confident that God will direct our every step if we trust him.

"Yesterday is history, today is a gift, and tomorrow is a mystery."

I love all of you,

Bethani Roam

I was getting ready to say stop by on your way and we will take you and Brian out to dinner but then you said you didn't have to go to SF. Well, if you ever do have to drive through here on the 99, give us a call and we will take you out. The kids would love to see Wyatt. You already know we are a crazy family, so we would certainly be entertaining. LOL Love you so much! Keep the good reports coming.....and how about some more pics? We love to see how Wyatt is growing.

Great. Now you're getting your blood drawn less frequently than I am. And they haven't told me why they're doing it. Something about "Soylent Green" or something like that.

And I'll just tell you right now, the bi-lateral puncture holes on my neck are painful and distracting.

Hey, Brian and Bethany,
It was so cool seeing you guys in Stkn recently. However, you were like the wind-here then gone(I guess you're gone, we aint seen you since). Btw, you all looked well. But when you're feeling all poured-out, remember that the God of all creation knows your names! You're His little "punkins". That means He loves you and will take good care of you.
Love you guys,
Bonnie
