No News Is Good News?

Many people say that "no news is good news". Well as we have gone through this journey with Gary and the cancer that has attacked his body, we have found that is not necessarily the case. Yet we pray this indeed is true with this week's appointment, for we know nothing new. We should not be surprised with that; it happens so often now. If you have ever gone through a long process with a disease or illness, you know what we are talking about!
At least one of the following phrases comes up at every doctor's
appointment:
1. "We need to run some more tests."
2. "We need to see the results of the tests."
3. "The results of the tests were inconclusive; let's run some
different tests."
Refer to number one when speaking of this week's appointment. So Gary goes again in a couple of weeks to run more tests to determine further treatment. The only thing we can tell you is the doctor said Gary looked good and seemed to be recovering well. He is beginning to gain some weight, and he has increased his activity level substantially. There are still some not so good days but, all in all, every day is brighter and more hopeful.

We know that those of you who pray diligently for Gary are responsible for each day being brighter. Without your prayers Gary would not be experiencing healing. Scripture tells us that the prayers of the righteous benefit much. Our Savior has heard your prayers and ours as well. We praise God He does hear us and answer us! He is faithful in that.

God is to be glorified forever and forever.
