Quick prayer request..

Hello All!

Just a quick note...everything is still looking improved for Jeff, we are very thankful to God!!!

I'm not sure if I've mentioned this in a post at all, but in addition to the cancer doctors we are seeing a Chiropractor friend from our church...he is knowledgeable in more than just chiropractic...he has studied other ways to help people stay healthy...kind of holistic medicine. Anyway, he has this machine that analyzes your whole body by scanning the palms of your hands, your bare feet and has probes attached to your forehead...the end result is an overview of the organs of your body and if they are stressed or overworked etc... Jeff's first scan was done about a month ago and everything looked pretty good...just a little overworked trying to detox itself from the chemo etc... We had another scan report today and Dr. Jim says that there are much improvements from the last one...he actually said that from what he sees in comparing the 2 scans, he doesn't believe that God is going to take Jeff home anytime soon...if that doesn't boost your hope what will!!!! Now for the prayer need...Dr. Jim also said that Jeff would do even better if we would change his diet to low carb (which would also be good for me) and if Jeff could stop smoking cigars. Jeff is having a hard time with the cigar thing and I am having a hard time with the diet thing...BUT...both of them have to change, so please pray for us that we have determination, strength and that the transitions in our eating habits and Jeff's smoking are not too terribly difficult!!!

Thank you! We are richly blessed with a support system that is out of this world!!!!
Bless you...Jayne

We are giving praise to God that Jeff is somewhat better.
I know how hard low carb is for me, Im not a big meat eater, and when I was going through the whole Gastric ByPass thing I had to eat mostly protien, and it was so hard for me. I eat alot of shrimp though. Shrimp cocktails mostly. So if you like shrimp try that. You guys are in my prayers as always. May God give you the strength to stay on this diet.
