We had out second oncology appointment this week. We were hoping to get results back from genetic testing, but we will have to wait until the next appointment. However, we did get one major blood test result back. It was a test to show the MTM/mL (mean tumor levels) levels in her blood. It came back showing there were no molecules of cancer in her blood stream. Obviously this is a tremendous praise report and relief. This is one of the tests we were waiting on to figure out her post treatment and the need for chemo. Unless the Oncologist finds more abnormalities in her blood or future Imaging, prayerfully she will not have to go through that process. A silver lining that we were told though is that if she does have to go on chemo it wont be an aggressive round of it. She also had her first appointment with her PCP. We were blessed to see how much she was on top of things. I would hope that this i...
Just when you thought you were done praying for this woman, she goes and throws herself off a bike to make sure she is on the top of your prayer list. I can hear you saying, "What in the world happened?" after seeing this picture. So, I'll tell you. Sometimes Laura and I go on bike rides during our lunch breaks. We were on our way home on Friday when Laura lost control of her bike, causing her to crash into me and we both hit the pavement! Sadly, Laura got crushed under her bike, my bike, and me... (ouch). When I got up, it was quickly apparent that her arm was broken and we needed to get her to the hospital. Thankfully, a man named Jason Wakefield (a local electrician) stopped right after our accident and helped us get to the ER. He was kind enough to put our bikes in the back of his truck and drive us to St. Jude. During our ER visit, we found out that her right forearm is broken in two places and her left elbow has a fracture. We will be going to the orthopedic surge...
Laura slept well last night. So that is an answer to prayer. She wont be able to uninterrupted sleep until we get home but were at least glad that she finally slept. This morning we found that I could wheel her out to a garden they have on the fourth floor. It was the first time she has been outside Monday night. I was so thankful to take her outside. It was apparent she needed some respite from being inside the hospital. I think maybe we will have dinner down there tonight. Today we are going to meeting with her surgeon again for a checkup. If anyone has tips on what I should be asking her, please feel free to text me. This has been a steep learning curve. Do not let your way to your prayer closet be untrod. He that holds his acquaintance in heaven by being often with God, will be the most likely to prevail with God in the most pressing and difficult cases.” Richard Alleine (1611-1681), Directions for Grace Prayer is reducing the mysteries of godliness...
