Can we breathe yet?

We are at the end of the longest three weeks of our marriage. On my birthday Jason’s dad found out he had Kidney Cancer. On Tuesday he had his kidney removed. We found out yesterday that the kidney had not spread to the lymphoid. The outlook is good but not great. The cancer doctor is going to meet with Jason and his parents today to see what kind of treatment they will need to use on Larry. The tumor was sitting on the Renal Gland and on the wall of the Kidney. This means that it could have spread because of the gland and the fat that sits in your body. Larry looks good and should come home from the hospital tomorrow. Jason was lucky enough to see the cut and his exact words were, “Boy that was a big cut.” We are hoping that Larry feels better and will mend quickly.

Thank you for all of your thoughts, prayers, and the fasting that was done in our behalf. I have gained a bigger testimony in the power of prayer. I have also found out that we need to remember what is important. It is easy to get bogged down with the day-to-day stuff but it is wonderful that we can take the time to smell the roses. The blessing in this trial is our family and friends all over have done what they can do to lessen our burden. I would like to end with a quote from one of Jason’s good friends. “With a strong family as well as a strong faith will carry you through this time.” I would like to add a strong group of friends. Thank you all and we will keep you updated.
