Another month is almost gone by and it just doesn't seem possible. Mel's trial spinal cord stimulator went very well and he is scheduled for the implant on September 4th. He was without pain in his legs for a couple of days and as soon as they removed the trial the pain returned within hours. He is looking forward to being able to do more than he has been able to in the past several months. God is so good!
August has been busy at Ives Run and Mel is painting the garage at CEF even though his legs are almost unbearable when he is finished for the day. We are looking forward to what God has planned for us when Mel is able to do more.
We have been able to connect with Chambers Camp and Retreat Center in Chambers, NY for the Spring/Summer/Fall of 2014. We have met with Peter, the director and many of the other volunteers and we are eagerly anticipating our time at Chambers. We are sure that God has placed us there.

God Bless!

July 2013
Sorry it has been so long since our last post. We have been very busy.
Trina spent a week in Eva, TN visiting Kayla, her granddaughter. There was a lot of time Mall walking in Nashville and Jackson. Kayla had a good time.
We are still working at Ives Run Park and helping out at CEF (Child Evangelism Fellowship). Last week, CEF had a week long camp at Ives Run and the both of us helped out. I helped with the crafts and was the nurse for 2 days and Mel helped me and helped cook hot dogs for everyone on Friday. Please be sure to check out our photos on our photo page.
We left on Friday after camp, for the weekend, to visit friends and family in and around Buffalo, NY. We had a good time and were glad to get home Sunday evening.
Mel will be having a trial implant (spinal cord stimulator) placed in his back on Monday, August 5th. It should help with the pain that he suffers from in his back and legs. The trial will last for 4 days to see if it helps. Please pray that he receives pain relief from this device and that it can be permanently implanted. Thank you so much.
