8/29/13 - It's A .......

Hi Everyone! We have exciting news to share :)

We had our 20 week ultrasound this past Saturday and have included a video and some pics to announce our big news of what we are having :) We are thrilled to hear the baby is healthy and there are no concerns from our Doctor.  Praise The Lord!  We couldn't be happier!  Thank you for your prayers as well!

You will have to go to wilestrials.blogspot.com to view the actual video of Taylor making the announcement.  Enjoy!  Below is also an ultrasound pic of "squirt" (what we have been calling the baby) waving hi to us.

Also, this week we had a very encouraging one regarding Jason's health! His cancer/disease fighting cell counts are increasing. God also gave us perfect clarity upon arrival to Jas' gastro appt today (Thurs) that we would only be doing a normal stretching with no stent.  The Dr. deciding he was not yet comfortable with doing the procedure on him until seeing how another patient fares it for a month or two more.  Then the biggest news was his CAT scans came back clean.  Praise, Praise, PRAISE THE LORD!  It was wonderful to see our team again today and celebrate the news with them.  Our surgeon was even explaining Jason's case history to his resident, and said, "He is a miracle in the cancer world."  So cool!  

It has been quite awhile since we have had so much FANTASTIC news for our family and it all happened in one week!  So many things we are incredibly thankful to The Lord for!!!

Thanks so very much for your continued prayers!  With much love! God bless!

8/11/13 - Friendly Reminder - PPF FUNomenon Tickets

Good morning everyone!  We wanted to send out a quick and friendly reminder that if you are interested in purchasing PPF FUNomenon tickets for Sat, August 24, and 100% of the cost going to Jason's account for medical expenses, please send Megan an email at wiles.megan@gmail.com by this Monday, August 12.  Additional details are provided below.  Thanks and GOD BLESS!

This month, Patty Pollatus Fund (the organization that helped our family with fundraising this past year) is hosting their annual FUNomenon on Saturday, August 24 from 12-6pm. Lots of fun things taking place on the agenda including a rodeo, Rodney Atkins concert, tons of entertainment for kids (pony rides, moon bounce, magic show, face painting, crafts, etc.) and food all for the price of one ticket!  The awesome thing is that PPF is allowing those who want to attend to have the cost of their ticket of $75/adult to go straight to Jason's account with PPF to help pay for ongoing medical expenses he is incurring. Note, that the ticket price at the gate is less because those $ go toward PPF's general operating expenses and not a recipient's fund.  PPF sets the prices for both options.  Kids 5 and under are free and kids tickets age 6-12 can be purchased at the gate for $15, they will not allow the kids tickets to be applied to a recipient's account.  For all tickets purchased at the gate, those $ can NOT be applied to Jason's account. 

If you are interested in purchasing a ticket(s), please email me directly at wiles.megan@gmail.com ASAP as there is a very specific way tickets need to be purchased in order for 100% of the cost to go into Jason's account. If you are not able to attend, but would still like to contribute to Jason's account that funds his ongoing medical expenses, you can go directly to the PPF website at www.ppfinc.org  and click on the DONATION tab.  From there you can find Jason's profile toward the bottom of the page and fill out the requested information. Hope to see you all there and thanks for considering!  :)
