In surgery as I write

Well we would befound sitting in the waiting room if you were to look for Rick, Bella or Me.  OR just called and said everything is proceding as planned!  They removed hardware from his right knee, reconstructed the hardware in his left knee, and were starting on the left Tibia.....I....had to sneak away and find some caffiene for Rick and I while Bella is napping on the waiting room chair!  And then decided while I was away I would update.  Erik drove home to Everett yesterday and made it to his place around 10pm! Thank the Lord for traveling mercies for us and him.  We hit some bad weather around Minida pass and had take it easy, but rolled into SLC around 6pm.  We did get a room at the Ronald Mcd. house.  Pray for Zane pain to be under control while we are in the hospital.  He will stay at least 1 night, possibly 2!  The nurse said if we are not comfortable leaving tomorrow to tell them.  So, we would leave for home possibly Friday, but most likely Saturday!!!
Thank you again for your prayers and hugs and support. 
For Zane....

Prayers for Zane

Well, it is turning into craziness at home, and school and the whole town right???  Please pray that Zane would not catch this horrible cold that is traveling through all the family members.  We Pray that the date set for Zane's surgery is in God's will and would hate to travel all that way to Salt Lake and have Zane be sick! 
I want to thank every one who has been praying for us over the years as well as currently....We feel your love and support.  Thank you so much, and thank you to everyone who has donated to our financial needs for this upcoming surgery time, we thank you so much for that, and pray that God would bless you in return!! 
Please pray for good roads next week when we drive, and for an "open room" at the Ronald Mcd. House.  Also please add Erik, our middle son to your prayers, as he will be driving  home for Christmas from Everett by himself, and then back again on Monday....!! Thanks. And last but not least...please pray for the two boys we leave behind in Missoula, Zack and Colter for them to be protected and healthy when we are gone!!
Blessings to you friends,
Dianna

Blog is up and running

Whew!  Time is flying by.  This is my official first entry for Zane's blog.  We are all anxiously anticipating Christmas.  However, I have to admit, my mind constantly jumps to what is happening after Christmas.  I would like to take this first opportunity to thank the all those in our extended "family" of God who have blessed us, with your support!!!  I have said many times over, we could not do this with out you.  Your love for us and constant prayer support are indeed the most important. 
Thank you for the financial support that has been coming in, for this we feel an extra special blessing!! God has been faithful to provide for this upcoming trip and for extra to help with living expenses while we care for Zane's during his recovery at home!!! 
Try out this blog, and let me know if you have troubles....please register with your email and then you will be notified when  there is an update.
We are on for surgery Dec. 29th in Salt lake, please pray for wisdom.  Pray for Colter as we leave him behind, and Zack too (even though he is our oldest) and for Erik as he will drive off back to Everett WA, while we drive the other way to Salt Lake. 
Please pray for wisdom for Rick and I as we firm up other plans for our travels!!
