Ive got a lot of updates, praise and prayer requests for you all!
I am so grateful for everyones prayers! Dad was feeling so good this week that my mom and him came to Orlando with us for our dance competition! He even drove most of the way and spent the day by the pool at the hotel!
Today was dad's bone marrow biopsy, this is a painful procedure where they had to drill into his hip bone. Praise God it was mainly pressure and heavy discomfort as apposed to the pain that was expected, and thank God its over!
But the biggest news is this! Tomorrow dad was supposed to have an appointment to receive the outcome of the scans that where going to determine whether all this treatment what working or if the cancer was winning. The appointment was canceled because the doctor came to see him today after the biopsy. We were thrilled to be informed that the treatment was working better then the doctors had expected and that my dad is making awesome progress!! The cancer that had attacked his bones and would light up the PET scans has decrease more then the doctors had expected! Praise God!! Our hearts where so heavy for this news and it was so overwhelming to receive it today!
Now although we have received this AMAZING news, the toughest is yet to come so please continue to pray! Dad will be going in to the hospital for his third chemo next Tuesday instead of this Tuesday and then will begin the Bone Marrow transplant May 6th. The Transplant is going to be the toughest and most rigorous part of this whole process.
Please continue to pray for physical and emotional strength, for physical healing, and for God to provide financially. Thank you again and God Blees!
That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong. 2 Corinthians 12:10
