Hallelu-Hallelujah...Praise Ye the Lord!!!

Well, we have some wonderful news and some not so wonderful (but not too bad either) news...First, We had an MRI yesterday morning at Cedar Sinai and just after only one of the new treatments, the Doctor believes Jeff's tumor is a little bit smaller...PRAISE YE THE LORD!! Then the doctor started looking at Jeff's legs, for some reason, and realized that his right leg was a little tender when it was squeezed...there was a blood clot discovered in an ultra sound. Now, as this is not great news, the doctor assures us that blood clots are fairly common with this type of tumor and Jeff does spend quite a bit of the day in bed (treatments and meds just knock him out)...and...he doesn't have to be put into the hospital or anything....just needs to take an injection in the tummy under his belly button once a day for probably 6 months...and...here's the kicker...I get to administer the injection! =) We did the first one last night and it wasn't nearly as bad as both of us thought it might be. AGAIN, God is good all the time!


We are extremely thankful that Jeff's memory is still improved...please continue to pray for the full restoration of memory and that this new medication and chemo keep shrinking that tumor.

Other families in our church that need prayer:
Laura Litherland (the mother of friend from church) just lost her high school sweetheart husband to a brain tumor a few weeks ago and it is very hard for her...she is a believer and knows that Larry is in heaven, but she is a little angry and upset.

The Kings Larry, Pat and Elizabeth are still grieving the loss of their daughter and sister, Rebecca.

The Marcades Cathleen Marcade had a tumor removed from her neck and after testing it they found is was malignant-a rare form of cancer. She is home now, but was in the hospital for the past few days because of complications with chemo treatments...please pray for strength for her, her husband, and their children.

The Kobles Kim had breast cancer and is now going through treatments.

The Buccowichs You can go to the link from our blog to their web page for Susan's updates...she's doing pretty good right now, but still needs much prayer!

Thank you...May our Gracious Heavenly Father grant you peace this week!
