Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth and the Life!

God is truly amazing!  He is working through my Mom’s situation marvelously.

Sorry its taken so long to post another update, I’ve just been waiting to share anymore info until a couple things were decided, (which happened today)- Mom just went and got a second opinion today at the Cleveland Clinic, found a much less invasive way for her surgery, so now its scheduled for the 14th of December. She will have 12″ of her colon removed and should be home no later then a week after the surgery

Such a blessing the way that God worked that one out. My sister Anna had her scoliosis surgery there several years ago, so my parents would get regular newsletters from the clinic, which they usually tossed. A couple weeks ago, the Holy Spirit prompted my Mom to open a CC newsletter that she was just going to toss, and lo and behold, right there was an article about a less invasive type of surgery for colon cancer patients.

Please continue to pray that our Lord Jesus would completely heal her of this cancer!  Walking by faith can be so hard yet at the same time, it is so exciting!

Philippians 4:6, “Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God.”

Mom

Well, my dear mother was having some issues so her dr. recommended that she get a colonoscopy.  My mom just turned 51 so having one of these procedures is pretty routine for anyone over 50.   They did find a polyp, which they removed.   We didn’t think anything of it as she had some removed when she was younger, (in her 20s).

Wednesday, the dr. called back telling her to come back in with a family member, (usually that means bad news).   My dad took my mom to the dr.  and the dr. informed that the polyp was cancerous with an invasive sort of cancer.   It was devastating news, and I cried most of the day yesterday and prayed very hard.   When I think of cancer I think of the worst case scenerio, which is death.    But God is so good… He has given us all a peace about it.

The next day after the diagnosis, which was last Thursday Mom was able to go in for a ct scan (to determine if the cancer had spread) and when that was over was able to get the results in a matter of hours.  (Another blessing from the Lord- it would have been so hard to wait over the weekend).     It hasn’t spread!  Praise God- we are now praying that nothing more needs to be done, that the cancer was removed in the removal of the polyp, no more surgery, chemo/radiation.
