Rally the Troops


Great family day!  Loads of time together and more venturing outside of the hospital.  Echo was able to see Dad for the first time since this ordeal and I know her presence now is imperative to winning the ensuing battle.  Dad also had four rounds of visitors today....work friends and family friends.  Each person supporting dad in the call to arms, if you will.....

Tomorrow dad starts his first rounds of Radiation and Chemo....  My sisters and I are locked at the arms making sure dad is getting the best the TMC has to offer, we have armed ourselves with information and dad has repositioned himself in the oncology unit.  We have a fight on our hands.  Rally the troops!!  : )

****we have more than doubled the page views since yesterday with the majority of views in the United States, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, Bahrain, and France.  A world-wide army supporting our SuperMAN.  Thank you so much for all of your words, prayers, and actions.  It does so much good.

  1. Dear SuperManSteve, Cindy and all you amazing offspring -
    Just read your blog, Ryan. And to think that I had no idea what a blog was just a couple years ago! pretty sure Brian still doesn't! Technology is amazing. We are grateful to hear you are in the USA, Steve, with the best medical team, surrounded by your loving family and friends. Keep your eyes on the truth of the healing (the best advice I once had was to stop reading about it! lol) Spirit is so powerful! We are finishing up our time here in Rio and will be back in Houston by the end of June. We will see you all soon. Until then, our thoughts and prayers are with you. much love, Brian and Marylinn

  2. Ryan,
    I've just been told of your Dad's illness.
    I was your Dad's assistant over his stay in Paris.
    This news is a shock for me.
    I would like you to kindly pass him all my best thoughts.
    I know he is very strong and able to win this battle.
    My prayers are with all of you
    With my kindest regards
    Christine

    Steve, wasn't long ago we visited together in Saudi. We are praying that God will give the medical professionals the tools to help you win this fight! You are indeed a superman, surrounded with a loving family and many friends throughout the world; the perfect combination to win this battle! Whether in the U.S., Europe, the Middle or Far East, we are all praying that you will be victorious!

  18. Steve, Ryan and all,
    I am Steve's first cousin -- one of the Joneses. Pam sent us an email with the news and a link to this blog. Needless to say, we are all surprised. However, it's also obvious that there is a great support system behind Steve.

    I'll be following this blog. Ryan -- should you want to know of your Dad's family on the maternal side, check out this blog: http://jonesfamilymatters.blogspot.com You can search on Hansen and Ryan.

    Be thinking about all of you.

  19. Steve --
    We had Tuesday night Study Group at the Schillings and drank a glass (or two) of what is commonly known as "Hansen's Red" and said a prayer for you. We hold you in our thoughts and prayers.

    Best wishes from
    Rachel, Tucker, Wally, Kathy, and the rest of the Study Group
