Do you remember the picture we posted a few weeks ago of Robi's arm? This is a picture of his arm last week.
Recently, I had a friend share an interesting statistic she learned from a show she had listened to. The guest on the show shared that the number of people sitting in the waiting room for an injured or sick patient receiving care in an Emergency Room had a direct correlation with how the patient fared and recovered. Those with few or no friends or family in the waiting room didn't do as well or recover as quickly as those with many friends and family in the waiting room. The support in the waiting room is like a lifeline and motivation for the patient to pull through and recover. It is the support and strength when a little extra is needed!
Yesterday Robi was admitted to Emergency Room the hospital at MD Anderson in Houston, Texas. The doctor is concerned because of his low oxygen levels due to the tumors in his lungs. Doctors will present the treatment process today.
We figure that our blog is like the door between Rob's "Emergency Room" (the hospital/home) and the "Waiting Room" that is cyber space. We would like for everyone reading the blog to leave a comment so they would know who was in their "cyber waiting room". Please let him know you are here and cheering him on. We can and will make a difference in his healing process.
We know there are hundreds of you in Rob's "Waiting Room." Let him know you are here. He's got a lot ahead of him the next few months. I know he'll fare better and recover more quickly with any love and encouragement you wish to share! Thank you so much to everyone for all the love and generosity, in every form: financial, comments and prayers. Experiences like these really showcase the depths of human love and compassion.
Please take a moment to leave a comment. Feel free to comment anonymously or just using your first name--whatever you're comfortable with. This blog is open and waiting for comments from everyone. Please spread the word so anyone who would like to, can sign in at his waiting room.
Thank you.
I found your blog through a friends! We are praying for Rob and for your sweet family! You're not alone. We are all in the waiting room. Miracles happen everyday!

ReplyDeleteWe're here with flowers too:❀ ✿ ❁ ✾ ✽ ❃ ❋
ReplyDeleteI have been so touched by this story. I went to the bake sale a couple of weeks ago and was so touched by the spirit in that house. I felt like we were all gathering for such a good and noble cause. You are in my prayers. I know that miracles happen every single day.
ReplyDeleteWe are here waiting for your recovery Rob! Sometimes we wish the Lord didn't have so much for us to learn. But we are all learning from your experience and you are amazing! Thank you for sharing with us. We love you and are praying for a speedy recovery. : )

Fight like H*LL
ReplyDeleteWords can't express all that I feel. I am so thankful for you and your family, I feel like I overflow with love and gratitude for you. I know that what you are going through is far more difficult than I can even begin to imagine, but you are teaching all of us more than you know. After all that we take advantage of in life every day you are giving us the chance to feel humble, and draw nearer to Christ ourselves by praying for you. Thank you for strengthening me spiritually and emotionally and being an example for me in so many ways.
ReplyDeleteAll my love, Kelcee W.
Robi you are an inspiration to our family and so many others out there. Your faith and positivity is amazing. The Lord will bless you through this. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Keep on fighting!! We love you.
ReplyDeleteI don't know you Rob, or your family. But I know what your family is going through. My youngest brother was diagnosed with Cancer when he was 17. It was a rough couple of weeks that turned into a rough couple of months. The only way we got through it was through the power of prayer. I know what you are going through is probably the hardest thing you will ever face. I also know that God does not put things in our path unless it makes us stronger. Know that you have a lot of people praying for you! The power of prayer is the most amazing medicine. Stay strong and remember to turn to your Heavenly Father for strength. He will never leave you alone!! Good Luck in this battle....we are all cheering you on!
ReplyDeleteRobi and Amber,
ReplyDeleteI admire your strength and courage through this tough time you guys are going through. We are praying for you and your family. I love you guys!
Robi and Amber,
ReplyDeleteYou are both amazing! There are so many people that are inspired by your strength and determination. We are all thinking of you day in and day out. Your family is a part of each of our families. Stay hopeful and strong. It's remarkable what is possible through hope, faith and love.
We love you.

ReplyDeleteI found your blog while reading a friends. We are praying over here every day!!!!!
ReplyDeleteMy husband, three daughters, and I take part in the Relay for Life every year. We walk around a high school track overnight, to remember family members that were (and will always be) very dear to us who lost their lives fighting cancer; we also walk in honor of those we know and do not know that have fought cancer, or are currently fighting cancer.
ReplyDeleteThe Relay for Life symbolizes the hardship that cancer patients endure. We start walking in the early evening: when cancer is beginning; we continue walking through the night: we become tired as the darkness envelopes us; we struggle to keep walking as the sun rises the following day: there are only a few hours left, but we are so exhausted that we want to give up... but the light is overcoming the darkness and we know that we can keep going... to live another day.
Our participation in this event cannot come close to the pain, suffering, obstacles, and physical or emotional hardships that a cancer patient experiences; however, in this overnight event, we are able to raise thousands of dollars to help in the fight against cancer.
I do not know your family, but my heart is with you all. Continue to be strong and courageous. Much love to all of you. The Farnot Family ~Colorado Springs, CO.
Praying for you daily & hoping for all the best for you guys. My two year old has even prayed for "doctor fix arm" for you. xoxo
ReplyDeleteI'll never understand why the people with the biggest hearts endure the most suffering. I think of you and your family everyday and I wish you recovery and healing. Lots of love.
ReplyDeleteRob & Amber - our family and I have been praying for you daily. We have been inspired by your fight against this cancer and we have hope that your treatments will be successful!

ReplyDeleteWinton Churchill gave a powerful speech about England's finest hour being one when bombs were coming down and their trials seemed overwhelming. That is when their courage had time to shine. Robi, I don't know of anyone who could handle the situation you are in - in front of everyone - with such optimism, class, humility, and courage. This is your finest hour. I am in awe of you & and your family. You are loved & prayed for. We are all behind you!

ReplyDeleteAnd whoso receiveth you, there I will be also, for I will go before your face. I will be on your right hand and on your left, and my Spirit shall be in your hearts, and mine angels round about you, to bear you up.
You are not alone in this trial. Angels seen and unseen are with you, blessing you, and strengthening you and your family. Faith is things that are hoped for but not seen. Even though you may not yet see the blessings you desire, keep faith and trust God. May He bless you and your family at this time!
Rob, were here for you. I have faith that you and your family can make it through this trial.

Wishing we could keep you company there but know that we love you and are praying for you! You are so strong and such an example to us all! We know you can beat this!
ReplyDeleteOne thing I love about you is his sense of humor. When we all get together the room is full of laughter. We would always get excited when you would invite us over bc we knew you would make some awesome food and we would have a great time. Even though you tried to convince me that illegal downloading wasn't that illegal, you're still a great guy. You are such a good father who loves and protects your children. Words can't express how sad we are that you are going through this awful physical and emotional pain. Is amazing to see how Amber has become such fighter herself. You both are such great examples of love and strength. I love you both and can't wait for the day we get together and laugh about how we don't have a care in the world. Love you guys!!!
ReplyDeleteRob, Amber I hope you find the comfort and strength you need to get through this difficult time. I'll send up a prayer for you.
ReplyDeleteTo the Grimshaw Family, I found your blog though a friend and was very touched by it. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I believe that the power of prayer, love and support are stronger then any medicine. Know that there are so many of us here in the "waiting room" cheering you all on! I look forward to following your blog post in regards to all the positive things to come.

ReplyDeleteI don't know you but am amazed at your courage and optimism. One thing I have learned through trials is the more specific the prayer the more specific the answer. I ahve also learned that angels strengthen us through trial and angels can be unseen and can be our family and friends. We will pray for you to have angels round about you to bear you up!
ReplyDeleteYou guys are amazing and such an inspiration to us all. You have touched so many lives, thank you. We pray for you and think of you often.

You have been and are absolutely amazing with how you have been dealing with this and just as people in general! You guys are my heros and have truly touched so many peoples lives. We may be trying to help and be your angels, but you are ours as well! We are so blessed to have you in our lives! We pray for you constantly and love you so much! Ryan and Savannah

Dear Robi and Amber,
ReplyDeleteA dear friend of mine who is also a friend of yours sent me your way. Your family has been in my thoughts these past few weeks...
Although I don't understand why some have to pass through the Refiner's fire, my life experience has taught me that the rich blessings of the journey are treasures and that these kinds of trials qualify us for something more than greatness.
Hold on to your family. Feel the love that surrounds you. I pray for your strength and comfort.
and YOU are amazing.

ReplyDeleteI don't you or the family but would like to let ya'll know you are in prayers. My husband spent a lot of time in the hospital due to him having 2 heart transplants and I learned some things that helped us to survive. Get a plug in air freshener, my husband is not one who usually lights candles or anything but he loved his plug in. Bring in your owh toothpaste and toliet paper and cottonelle. Pictures, have the girls do projects that he can hang up. I love food, so for me it is important, ask nurses about places to eat. Most of all keep Faith that you will find peace with the Lord's plan. I know it is not easy so may you find away to find peace.
ReplyDeleteRob, I have worked with you on a few occasions but I am inspired by your strength and determination. Please know that I pray for you everyday and I throw positive energy out there for you.

But they told her she HAD TO DO CHEMO and she said no...She just knew it was the wrong thing to do..That the chemo would kill her...
ReplyDeleteGod Bless...Diane in California
We are praying for you and your family everyday! Keep fighting and never give up!
ReplyDeleteHave Hope!!
ReplyDeleteKeep fighting. You're a beautiful, inspiring family and you're not alone. Love and prayers from the Bagley family - Provo, UT
ReplyDeleteI came across your blog from a friends blog...I love the waiting room idea. My dear cousins little boy is 2 and fighting cancer, and my dear friend is fighting breast cancer. I totally believe that people can pull through trying times by the uplifting of others. Fight...fight...fight.....you're an inspiration to us all!! Love, the Hernandez family-Smithfield, UT
ReplyDeleteThere isn't anything more I can add that hasn't been said already. Just know how very much I love you all and how I think of you each and every day. I hope you really do feel those angels buoying you up and I pray that you will find peace and the clarity you need to make the next decision.

ReplyDeleteAmber & Rob, You're in our family's thoughts many times a day. Don't worry about the girls, they are so well taken care of. Jos & Céleste had a great time playing Tuesday. We're doing it again next week. This time maybe with Savannah to give Allen a break too. We love you TONS. Hang in there. The Bugnets :-)
ReplyDeleteI don't know your family personally, but my husband and I grew up in Vegas and we have mutual friends from school and church. We live in California now, but found out about your cute family through the girls @ 1825 blog and we have been praying for your family, thinking of you guys often, and checking this blog for updates. My children and I popped over to the bake sale since we were in town, and I was so touched by the amount of love and support you have behind you. Heavenly Father has given you some wonderful people to walk alongside you during this difficult time and the love for your little family is so powerful. Have faith and know that there are many people behind you... praying for you and your family....even if we haven't met yet. Keep fighting! :)

ReplyDeleteAww. Come on, Rob. Knock that pneumonia out of the park! You've got a whole lotta friends cheering for you :)
ReplyDeleteDear Rob and Amber, children and Alan,
ReplyDeleteThis is Bro. and Sis. Coburn who used to be in your ward. You are in our prayers. May our Father bless you with the strength you need to make it through this difficult time. We send our warmest love and Aloha.
I came across your blog due to a lot of loving hard work and unselfish dedication on all the Williams girls' (and their family's) account. I have kept up with your story and I am so sorry you have all that pain and that your family and friends worry for you... I have prayed for you and your family and all I can say is trust God and His will and don't doubt His plan for you and your family, and you will all feel inspiration on how to go about dealing with this struggle day by day and you will have peace in the process knowing that you are loved so deeply and intimately by a Heavenly Father. Thanks for touching my heart with your story. Rob, you seem like such a class act and even though I don't know you personally, I am really proud of you and have admired you and your wife and your superb friends.
ReplyDeleteWe will miss you Rob, you will be in our hearts forever. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you Amber and your sweet girls, we love you.
ReplyDeletei am watching his interview on youtube. its not even finished playing yet. i came here because i had epithelioid sarcoma in 1998, i was 17 years old treated at universtiy of pennsylvania. i am 30 now. no recurrence, just sick from late effects. i am sorry i am too late to offer my support to rob. this really hits home and im so sorry to his family and everyone else who is affected by this strange form of cancer that drops out of the sky on them like it did on me.
