News from Dennis' Doctor

More testing for Dennis

Dennis' doctor called on Saturday. Because Dennis is doing so well he wants to do a new PET scan they are trialing to help determine if what they are seeing is actual progression or is pseudo progression. He has been working on getting Dennis into this trial  so he can get everything in place for Wednesday. He will go into the hospital several times for about a weeks time and then we will have a much better idea of if Dennis keeps going with what he is doing now or goes onto something else.  We will post when we know more about what is happening.

Some thoughts from Ellen

We sang this song in church on Sunday and these words really were a blessing and encouragement to my heart.  This part especially spoke to my heart:

Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever You would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Savior

As we walk through Dennis' battle with brain cancer, this song so well sums up my prayers for this time.  I want to keep my eyes on Christ, not on the waters that threaten to overtake me.  I want my faith to have no borders - in other words, nothing that keeps me from fully trusting in God and what he is doing in our lives.

"Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)"

You call me out upon the waters
The great unknown where feet may fail
And there I find You in the mystery
In oceans deep
My faith will stand

And I will call upon Your name
And keep my eyes above the waves
When oceans rise
My soul will rest in Your embrace
For I am Yours and You are mine

Your grace abounds in deepest waters
Your sovereign hand
Will be my guide
Where feet may fail and fear surrounds me
You've never failed and You won't start now

So I will call upon Your name
And keep my eyes above the waves
When oceans rise
My soul will rest in Your embrace
For I am Yours and You are mine

[6x]
Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever You would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Savior

I will call upon Your name
Keep my eyes above the waves
My soul will rest in Your embrace
I am Yours and You are mine
