Recent Update, Praises, and Prayer Requests

The summer has begun and it is HOT here in HOTlanta!  I believe we've had 9 days straight of 90 degree weather!  Thankfully, mom and dad have a beautiful pool in their backyard to cool off!   Most of the family was able to get together for Memorial weekend and we enjoyed the sun, the pool, burgers and family.  This coming weekend we are planning to celebrate Father's Day early and celebrate a family birthday.  I'm loving spending great time with the family.  I feel so blessed. 

Some new praises, prayer requests, and updates to share regarding dad's health.  Will you continue to join me in prayer and praise?

• PRAISE:  Dad had recent infusion therapy to strengthen his hip bones where he has a tumor.  This therapy usually makes dad feel really sick.  This last treatment, the doctor's tried a new type of medication and the next morning he was out and about having breakfast with a friend....no symptoms of sickness!  HUGE praise! 

• Dad will continue receiving infusion therapy each month indefinitely.  His next treatment is June 17th.  Please pray that the treatment does its job in strengthening dad's bones and dad continues to feel great after treatment with no symptoms.

• Every three months, dad gets a Brain MRI to test if there are any new brain tumors that have developed.  Today, dad went in for his Brain MRI.  He gets the results next Wednesday.  Please pray for no new tumors.

• Update on Blood Clot in dad's leg: The size of the blood clot has decreased significantly....huge praise!  Dad will continue to take blood thinning medication as he is high risk for developing more blood clots.  Pray for no new blood clots.

• We have known that dad has multiple tumors in his chest area including his lungs.  Dad has been expereincing some pain in his chest and shortness of breath.  Please pray that the tumors do not continue to spread, grow or cause harm to dad's breathing. 

Dad has come a long way since last October...really since 1997...and we've seen praise after praise with the Lord's hand on dad.  I know He has many great things in store for dad in the future.  Your prayers, encouraging email notes, cards in the mail, and verbal encouragements and love have been and continue to be a blessing to dad and our entire family.  Thank you!
