Good News Update

Well we prayed and God answered. I had a sonogram on my heart to check and see if the fluid surrounding my heart had decreased. The doc confirmed that the fluid was completely gone. I’m stoked! This was a big concern of my doctors and a big weight on my chest. My hope is fueled by the results of this test; I feel like God can do anything. Once again, God has answered our prayer and remember it could have been YOUR prayer that He honored.

My second miracle occurred this past weekend. My daughter Grace signed our team up for the Relay for Life (an event sponsored by the American Cancer Society). We were the last team to join the event and had very little time to organize. Despite our late start, we finished first in fundraising ($3,500) and had over 100 friends, family members and church family walk and run on the track for 24 hours. I am surrounded by the best of the best! We received encouragement and hope from survivors and cancer warriors; I was completely blessed.

Lesson- don’t stop now! My fight is not over. Please continue to pray specifically for the tumor in my chest to be completely destroyed by the chemo therapy. I want every cancer cell destroyed that is in my body. I don’t want to be a picture of remembrance at next year’s Relay. I want to be one of the speakers and testify how God healed me and how He used people to bless me and give me hope. Please pray specially for these things. Your prayers matter! If you need prayer for anything please email me (privately) at rabbiontherun@sbcglobal.net  and I will be faithful to pray for you.

Physical update- I feel pretty good, I walked 26 laps at the relay and paid the price but it was worth it. I meet with my oncology doc 8/13/2012 and round #3 of chemo is 8/14/2012. I’m bald as a bowling ball and sore as hell.
