News from MDA

Well, Mom and Dad went down to MDA yesterday for the 10 week checkup, following the findings from the summer.  If you remember, they found a spot in the liver, and told Dad to wait 10 weeks, then they would rescan, and see if there had been any change.


Well, in the meantime, they have tried some alternative methods of treatment, mainly healthy eating, and nutritional IV's.  They will continue this until December sometime.


Anyway, they found out yesterday, that the spot on the liver had grown, and that there were possibly some more spots as well.  


Though this is NOT the news we wanted to hear, we are trusting the Lord.  Mom told Dad that "God would not take him until He was done using him, so You better stay busy doing work for the Lord!!"


We know God can and still might totally heal Dad, touch that cancer, and have it disappear, this is what we are asking for.


We need prayer for wisdom, as we face more decisions in the future, aside of God's healing touch.


Especially pray for Mom and Dad. Pray for energy for Dad, strength, encouragement, and emotional strength and encouragement and peace for Mom.


They have been busy living these past few months, going to grandkids volleyball, soccer,  and football games, going to grandparent's day, having the kids down to ride horses, we just went to Red river with them last week and had a great time.


They are busy living, and we pray that whatever time we all have left, we will use it for His glory. This really is how we ALL should live, we really don't know how many days we are given on this Earth, it really is all about him and I pray we all would appreciate each other and focus on the important things, not just ourselves.


Thank you for caring and reading.  You all are a precious gift from God to our family.
In His grace and mercy,
