As we lift up the Boyd family in our prayers, I wanted to tell you about a benefit night being planned here in Athens for Saturday, October 22nd at Loco's on Baxter. For $12, you get dinner (bbq burgers and dogs) and a movie (Charlotte's Web), both held outside in the Mooseyard. Not only will proceeds go straight to the Boyds, but it will also be a great chance for all those who love this amazing family to come together in a show of support. We would like to sell tickets in advance so we can give Loco's a heads up for dinner prep, but they may be purchased at the door if seats are still left. Included in the flyer is contact information for those of us selling tickets. Thank you for being part of teamboyd, I feel blessed to be surrounded by such faith and hope and love.
peace,

October 10, 2011 Update
Dear Team Boyd,
Over the last 48 hours the game plan for David's treatment has fluctuated, but we are finally settled. David did get to go home on Sunday and spend the day with Izzy, Cap, and me; sadly, I had to drive him back to the hospital this morning. The doctors decided it was imperative that David start chemotherapy right away.
The treatment involves 2 days of chemotherapy followed several days later by a DLI which is a boost of the stem cells previously harvested by his brother Wesley. We do not know the date of the boost, but we should find out more in the next couple of days.
As I write to you all, David is resting comfortably. He is exhausted; however, I did see a glimmer of fight back in his eyes and in his voice throughout the day. We are taking this fight one day at a time.
I'll be in touch,
Lisa

Prayers Needed - Lisa's latest update
Dear Team Boyd,
I apologize for the gap in updates, but the little Boyds have been keeping me quite busy. Cap has become mobile and is so close to walking. For all you dancers out there, Izzy is shuffle-ball-changing all over the house, which I completely don't get. She'd rather dance to Swan Lake than kick a soccer ball...go figure.
As far as David, we are facing another mountain. The cancer is back, and we are facing a new set of challenges. David is coming home to Athens for a few days to refocus and tap into the well of energy of Izzy and Cap. He heads back to Northside on Tuesday night. The doctors are waiting on more test results, but we are one play closer to the "Northside-hell-mary-pass."We are in the process of reaching out to MD Anderson to tap into their clinical trials. It ain't over 'til it's over. We just want possible.
I'm on my way to get David and bring him home. Thank you for your love, prayers, and support.
Hugs,
Lisa
