Power of Prayer

I am beyond pleased to share with everyone that Mom received a promising report today at the doctor. We honestly didn't know what to expect given the ups and downs of the past week. After her treatment last Monday, she had not been feeling her best. Even so, Patty & Al hopped in the car and headed to Cashiers to join Mike, Laura, James, Patrick and me for Easter weekend. The trip was certainly exhausting for her, but I like to think the fresh mountain air and sweet baby James are partially responsible for her good report today.

 

Today we learned that many of Mom's tumors are almost entirely gone! Most of her numbers are trending extremely well, her appetite is ever so slowly returning, and Dad's whey protein regimen has paid off. The new chemo cocktail appears to be working exactly as it should, and now our prayers are focused on the healing of her liver. At this point, most of Mom's ailments are caused by her damaged liver, rather than the cancer itself. The power of all of your many prayers got us to this point, so I have no doubt that your continued prayers can heal her liver, too

As of today, Mom will stay on an every 3-week schedule for her chemotherapy and focus on regaining some normalcy in her life. We are humbled by your support and prayers. Each of you has played an important part in Mom's healing, and while there is still a very long road ahead, we are forever grateful for the power of prayer.
