Mustang Houston

Houston is continuing to rest well at home with a few outings to best Best Buy for some games for his Wii. Best Buy was very accomodating and had a wheel chair waiting for him as he arrived. There has been a steady throng of friends coming to see him which boosts his spirits. There have been the normal glitches you have when dealing with medical things but more challenging when you are at home. His morphine pump quit in the middle of the night a couple of nights ago and they did not realize it for a few hours. He started having some physical problems but they got on top of it. There are some fund raising things going on. The t-shirts I mentioned and there is also a concert some bands are getting together. These are friends of Jim from the days Jim played drums in different bands. Let me mention a special friend of their family. Her name is Michelle and she is more family then friend. Fred calls her a saint. She has moved in with them to assist with Houston's needs. She also has a job! When you think of this family and pray remember Michelle.
Now to the title of the blog. Houston over the summer was working to save money to buy a car. A neighbor across the street had a 1988 Mustang convertible that he had stored in Jim's driveway for a year. He was trying to restore it. He had installed a new top and stereo in it. He approached Jim about buying it for Houston. He sold it to him for 200.00$! They continue to experience great kindness from friends and strangers. The favor and blessing of the Lord. Houston drove it around the block yesterday with friends witnessing the event. I will try to get a picture of this happening and post it.
With all these wonderful things the sober backdrop is that his condition is terminal. While we look straight in the face of these facts we also look beyond them to Him who conquered death and answers in awesome deeds in righteousness. So continue to pray and battle(and post encouragements) for the Leatons and Michelle. Will continue to keep you posted.
