Well as I try and regain my strength from the stay at the hospital, and recover from my cold. I looked back at all the children and families that we met back in May. I can say that we are one of the fortunate families. Most of the families have suffered a lose. One is just hanging in their but the diagnoses is that they can no longer do anything for her. Pray for Laya Hason(5 years old) she is in a comma. The other little girl so far is a survivor she is more then 110 days out from her ALL (Leukemia remission), but all the rest have passed away. This makes it very hard to visit the cancer floor. I just found out while up on the floor that Carson passed away on the 4th of October. Pray for that family. I just meet a couple of new families in September. Pray for James and Gabriel. Both of them are down syndrome and have Leukemia.

On a happier note, we got a call from our doctor today. He had the surgical team look at Michael's scans from the 4th of October. He told me that the surgeon feels Michael is ready for his Resection surgery once he has recovered his Red, White platelet counts, and Immunity. They want him to have a PET scan before the surgery. We still have to wait for dates and times. But Craig our doc mentioned that it might be as early has the end of October or Beginning of November. The details have to be worked out still. We will also have an appointment to talk to the liver transplant team. They have to figure out from the resection the clear diagnosis before he could have a transplant. When Michael had his Biopsy the cells they collected from the tumor was unclear. Craig also said that they feel that what is left in the lungs could be just calcium deposit left from the cancer that was in there, but the PET scan would give a definite answer. We would like to have a special prayer service for Michael before the PET scan/surgery. When we know the date we will pass it along to everyone.

If you have trusted God with your eternal life, shouldn't you trust Him with the details of your earthly life as well? This is so true,

We need to focus more on complaining less and work more on our walk for Christ. When was the last time you were still enough to hear from God. If you are not listening then how can you know what God whats you to do. God talks to us through the sermons, the bible and a his still small voice, are you listening or complaining about what you heard?

But it is good for me to draw near to God; I have put my trust in the Lord God, that I may declare all Your works.
Psalm 73:28

Please keep praying for Michael,
Cathy
