The Power of Prayer

Thanks so much to all of you who have lifted us up in your prayers this week! I certainly do believe in the power of prayer, and I have a lot of good news to share with you!!!

I spoke with my Granny this morning and she is feeling fantastic! She finished her radiation treatments last week. She just had back surgery yesterday to repair some damage from the cancer and she said she hasn't felt this good in months! She is regaining her appetite and really feels like her "old self" again. Praise be to God! :-)

I also took Joel to the doctor today concerning the two mysterious masses on his pelvic bone. More good news! The orthopedic specialist does not feel that these two places are anything to worry about. He is, however, recommending that Joel go ahead and get the nuclear bone scan and MRI just as a precaution, but he is very doubtful that the tests will show anything! Praise be to God! :-)

And finally, my nephew is slowly improving! He has been taken off the ventilator, but he is still getting oxygen through a tube. They are also trying to slowly wean him off of his medication and so far there have not been any adverse reactions to the decreasing medication levels. His fever is gone now so he is able to have skin-to-skin contact with his parents. They are still not able to hold him, but they can touch his precious little body. The only development I got today that was not good news about him was that a bed sore has developed on his little head, so please continue to pray for him.

Thanks so much! God bless you all who are praying for us and supporting us with your love and friendship! We are truly blessed to have you in our lives!
