Hope everyone is enjoying our Lords day. Michael is taking his afternoon nap. He still does not have an immunity today. There is still hope for tomorrow. The white blood cells have started up so his immunity should start up as well. He is still having problems with his antibiotic. He has a rash from head to toe. They have taken him off that one and is now on a new one.

We will be having a special prayer for Michael on October 20th from 7:00 to 7:30pm at Perry Baptist church. If you would like to join us at Perry Baptist we would love you to be there. We ask that you pray that the cancer would be all gone on the PET scan. We are so close to it being gone and with the last big round of chemo. he may have a chance of it being gone. If it is still in his liver we will have him in on October 28th for his resection surgery. The surgeon said that the surgery will be 4-5 hours long. He will be coming in for the pre-surgery prep, surgery and then in ICU for recovery. So He will be gone from us for about 6-8 hrs if all goes well. Once the surgery is over he should no longer have cancer in his liver. He will continue his chemo for probably 3 to 4 months after to make sure no cancer cells will start to grow. One the day of his surgery we ask that you would pray with us continually that day for his safety before, during and after the surgery.

It is hard to believe we are so close to him being in remission. We have seen so many blessings through this trail in our lives. God has always given us strength through it all. What a loving God we serve.
