Monday, August 4th

Hello to all. I am sorry that I didn't post yesterday, but I was crazy busy! My little Landen Buchanan got bit by a brown recluse, so we ran to the doctor. Everything was fine.. he got a shot and they put him on a Z-pack. His arm looks so much better today!
I did get to visit with Mom yesterday. I didn't get to visit with Bob, because he seems to do much better when we all leave him alone! He did have to get two units of blood yesterday, but everything else seemed okay. On Sat, when Dr. Cohen came in, he didn't give us much hope. When he came in yesterday, he told Mom that he was amazed at his improvement, because he really didn't think he'd make it past noon on Sat. He said that he was still very critical.. the lung still has a hole in it, but the other lung was able to do most of the work. Come to find out, Bobby, Seth, and I are all RH neg., so I am planning on going over to donate blood on Thursday. I encourage you all to donate, no matter what blood type you are, someone can use it!
Thanks again for your prayers, calls, and visits. We appreciate you all so much! Spread the word about the blog. Please continue praying for a miracle!

Hey Bob, Just wanted to let u know we are all thinking of u. You and Hope are like family to us. There is only the 4 of us so when we are with u guys we feel extended. Billy said he knew u would do anything to get out of work but this is getting ridiculous lol. He also said u made him take a weeks vacation starting the 11th, so u better hurry up and get out of that bed to be with him. He also needs u to back his camper in lol. What would he do without u. He has also been praying for you as we all have. We know you can beat this, you are too strong and STUBBORN!! We all miss and Love you very much. It just wouldn't be the same camping without you so hurry up and come home. Love Billy Cheryl Ardell Dellinnia and Jerry

It is very hard seeing you this way but god knows what he is doing and maybe he is doing this to bring everyone closer. I really don't know why and I'm not going to question him. I'm standing on FAITH and I know that you are coming home! It was so nice to see all of your kids there by your side. I know things have been rocky with all the kids in the past but the bare truth is that they ALL LOVE YOU!!!!

WOW...you are truely an amazing man! I love you and all the kids have called me everyday asking about you. They all love you too.
Kenny has been wanting to come see you but he has started a new job and he can not take off but he still loves you and ask about you several times a day. Stephanie has come to see you too but she has been having some trouble carrying the baby so I hope you understand. Amber is coming with me the next time I come. She has been busy with the two babies.

Just stopped by to see the encouraging words to Bobby!

He is going to come home and read these words of encouragement and enjoy each and every one of them. He is a true fighter!! He has proved that! Keep up the fight Bobby!!
We are praying for you Bobby and the entire family to remain strong in their faith and health also. As one of the doctors said, it will be a long, long road to recovery.
I BELIEVE he will recover.


Love you all, Louise, Jeff, Brittney, and Charles.
