Election Day, November 4, 2008
Good Morning All! Today is the day we have all been waiting for. Tomorrow there will be no news. Yeah! Just kidding. I hope everyone is able to vote today. You will be a part of history today no matter who you vote for.
Sorry for my delay in writing, but it has been hectic around the house and at work. Houston and Jackson are doing well and school is going well for both of them. Zander is doing well. We did see the ENT in recent days and this Friday, Zander will undergo surgery to dilate his esophagus again. Once Dr. Kelley finishes this part of the surgery, Dr. St. Charles will insert tubes into Zander's ears and then have an audiologist perform a detailed hearing test. As I understand it, it will be while Zander is under anesthesia so that the test can be as accurate as possible. The goal, at this point is to get Zander hearing something for developmental purposes. The quicker he can hear something, the better off he will be in his development. We are praying that the tubes assist him greatly and we still know that God is in control. Please pray for another miracle in our son's short life.
Zander also sees the cardiologist tomorrow. Hopefully his heart problems are continuing to fade, but we will know more tomorrow.
Thanks as always for the prayers, comments and encouraging words. We hope everyone is doing well and please keep Zander, Ethan and Raymond Powell in your prayers.
I will write again soon. Keep moving along boys,
We love you!
Clancy

We wanted you to know that you are in our thoughts and prayers daily, even hourly. When days are hard remember the precious moments of clarity that keep you going and hold onto those as discouragement and dispare will always try to weasle their way in and settle down.

Zander, in his short little life, has been such an inspiration, and he certainly "fought the good fight." I am praying for you as are so many people. I pray for God's comfort at such a painful time.
God bless you, your family, and sweet little Zander.

Clancy, Christie, the boys, Grandma Judi, Christies folks,Bill and all other family members, I also was so sorry to hear about Zander. It is really hard to put into words what I am feeling tonight. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. I can tell you that he is in the arms of a loving savior, that truly loves and cares for him. Sometimes things happen that we don't understand. That's where faith comes in. I know that this is a difficult time for you, and He knows it too. We all have been truly blessed by the gift of Zander and I for one will never forget him. My love to all of you.

Clancy and Christie,
I am so sorry to hear about little Zander. Even though I have never met him, he has touched my heart and also my six-year-old daughter's. She has prayed for him every single night! What a testiment he has been!! We will definitely be praying for peace for your family and just know that Zander is no longer in pain! He is with our Heavenly Father and you will see him again!
Erin Flatt
Christy and Clancy,
We are so sorry for your loss. It looked like Zander was doing so well and was improving daily. I found the blog today and enjoyed reading all of it. I was unaware of everything you have been going through. Jeff told me briefly of his esophagus problem, but I did not know about the other health issues. It was such a shock to read the news on the Tres Dias prayer request. I have you all in my thoughts and heart today. There are no words to say for the pain you are going through. I know God will help you get through this sad time. Psalm 25:2
Love, Susan and Jeff Lewis
Clancy, Christie, Houston and Jackson: Words can't express the sorrow we feel at our loss. No bond is greater than between parent and child and I know your loss is great and seems hard to bear. Hopefully God's love will help ease the pain. Know that you all are in our thoughts and prayers.
Annie, Virginia and Janie
Dear precious family,
There are no words....just prayers of comfort and peace. Zander was truly and gift of God that you shared with us all.
God's Blessings,

You guys are in our thoughts and prayers. Your faithfulness has been such an encouragement to us.

My heart is heavy for your family, but I believe, as I know you do, that little Zander is in a better place with no pain. He was an amazing gift. Your family will continue to be in my prayers as you have been since July. Do not hesitate to ask if I can help in any way.
Clancy,Christie and boys,
Oh how my heart is broken for you. I have been in prayer for you constantly since I first got the call yesterday. Please know that we care so deeply and love you. I don't understand but I know God is with you and that Zander is with Him.

We are so very sorry. Please know that we are lifting you and your family up in prayer.
Eric and Tammy Hildebrand
Just wanted you and your family to know that we have been praying for Xander, your precious son. We get the TD requests. We are so sorry. Sometimes it's hard (for me) to accept that God's will was not our request. But He must not have wanted him to suffer anymore. Please know that our TD community loves you and are here for you.

Clancy, Christie and boys, I was in shock when Alda (my sister) called me last night. You all are in my prayers.
