Fabulous News!

We received fabulous news yesterday that John remains in remission with a CEA (tumor marker) of .7! We are so very grateful and thank God for His many blessings. Please pray that this will continue.

We also found out that the broken rib was done intentionally during surgery and it doesn't appear that it needs to be repaired. The oncologist said it was up to John but we haven't asked the orthopedist or thoracic surgeon about it yet. Now that John knows what he is feeling, he isn't really inclined to endure another surgery.

The radiologist that has done all of John's scans called him about a roof yesterday and as he was sitting at what John calls his "Star Trek Command Center" at the hospital, the Dr. pulled up all his past scans and x-rays. He is the one who said the rib has been broken all along and also that John's lungs look healthier now than in the past.

We know we are not the only ones who face challenges and we encourage those of you who are to focus on God's faithfulness. It is comforting to know we are not walking this path alone and that He is there supporting us with every step.

Quote for the day: "If God allowed you to be thrown into a pit, you weren't picked on; you were picked out. God entrusted that suffering to you because He has faith in you. Live up to it. All the way up." Beth Moore, Get Out of That Pit

He is risen! He is risen indeed!

Easter Blessings,
