Bumpy Weekend ~
It seems like weeks ago when i wrote the post from our warm hotel room in Chicago. But it has only been three days....three long bumpy days. First thing Saturday morning we recived a call back from one of the surgeons the surgeon Dr. Block felt would be the most likely to do the surgery. The surgeon reported Gary was not eligible for surgery due to his cancer being a very rare cancer that is very difficult to treat.
I have to admit as much as you don't want to react to one doctors opinion we have had a difficult weekend. Gary has been so sick and today he was admitted into the hospital. ..his bowels have stopped working. ...they are working on getting his body to work and respond as normally as it can it this point. ........living with cancer is no easy lesson.
Also over the weekend our house fell out of escrow. ..it was vandalized again and our poor old car broke down....not sure its going to be fixable. So when i wrote from Chicago little did i know how bumpy this next few days would be.
Now i am sitting in Gary's hospital room. ..thankful for a doctor and staff who are working to help Gary get comfortable. Once again i find my heart full of gratitude tears of gratitude mixed with tears of great sorrow ...this morning i reflected on how God allowed his son to suffer.....mind blowing because if i could stop Gary's suffering i would.
Thank you for Letting me pour out my heart our needs and my heart felt graditude. From under His wings Team Barton Team Barton

Praying for you Gary. My two kids Brock (6) and Melanie (4) pray nightly for your situation. Like Jason said in a previous post, if you need anything done with the house here in the desert, just let us know. Keep pushing forward, the entire Barton family is being lifted up in prayer daily. -Ben

John 11:35. He understands your sorrow. Praying both you and Gary know that He loves you more than you can imagine.
One thing I cling to ..God is in control...He knows where you are and all you're going through...praying for the strength and courage to completely trust Him each and everyday with each moment. I love you my Ohana. ⭕️❌ sher

Continued prayers for my friends. May you feel God's loving arms around you and holding you tight! You are loved and I pray God's peace and comfort for you at this time.
prayed for you and Gary in the middle of the night...that you will know God's wisdom when you hear it...even if it's hard to hear...and that you will know His peace which passes all of our understanding. All love...
I'm sitting here in front of my keyboard in tears for you and Gary and your family. I know that words alone can't bring comfort but I do pray that God will send his angels to surround you and bring that comfort and strength that you need right now, and His devine provision for all your needs. Much love, Julie & Andy
