Well this last Thursday we learned that my brother-in-law, Justin (Josh's brother and best friend), has colon cancer. He had a large tumor in his colon that had started to grow into the bladder. They removed what they could of the tumor in the colon but couldn't touch the bladder. They also discovered he has cancer covering other parts of his organs and bones in the lower abdomen. This ofcourse was a huge shock to us (and him). It has been a rough couple of days for everyone in the family. Josh is especially having a difficult time with this news. The doctor said that 1 in 10 people with the kind of cancer and as much as there is can live up to 8 years. We don't know what's going to happen next. It's all a waiting game right now to see how Justin's body reacts to the Chemo. Ofcourse we have high hopes for him and want him to be healthy. I am putting this on here because I figure the more prayers that go out on his behalf the better. He has been such a great uncle to my kids and wonderful best friend to Josh. We love him so much and wish him the best in recovery:) We love you Justin!!!

That is horrible! I hope everything goes well with his treatments.
We're so sorry to hear this. We will have you and him in our prayers. Let us know if you need someone to babysit ever. Hospital visits can be tough with little ones.
