Mixed news from the Doctor


Dennis’ doctor called today and we will be meeting with him on Thursday but here is what we know at this point:

 The Good News

They are seeing a good bit of pseudo-progression.  This is good news.  Also, the area of the tumor that is by the part of his brain that controls his leg is a bit better – that would explain why he is walking better. 

 The Bad News

There is an area that is active tumor and they need to go after that.  The plan is to do radiation of that area.  We will meet with the oncologist and radiologist on Thursday and will have a better idea of what is ahead after that meeting.  

Prayer Requests

  • Pray for wisdom for us and the doctors as we discuss how to proceed.
  • Pray for the radiation that it will kill these active parts of the tumor and not any healthy brain cells.
  • Pray for peace as Dennis as he goes through radiation again.
  • Pray that in all of this we will give God the glory.

This song was on the radio this morning and it really spoke to my heart again today.  

Praise You in this Storm


"Praise You In This Storm"
I was sure by now
God You would have reached down
And wiped our tears away
Stepped in and saved the day
But once again, I say "Amen", and it's still raining

As the thunder rolls
I barely hear Your whisper through the rain
"I'm with you"
And as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away

[Chorus:]
And I'll praise You in this storm
And I will lift my hands
For You are who You are
No matter where I am
And every tear I've cried
You hold in Your hand
You never left my side
And though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm

I remember when
I stumbled in the wind
You heard my cry to you
And you raised me up again
My strength is almost gone
How can I carry on
If I can't find You

But as the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain
"I'm with you"
And as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away

[Chorus]

I lift my eyes unto the hills
Where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord
The Maker of Heaven and Earth
