A New Direction

Your prayers have been effective, and we earnestly ask you to continue.

Gary and Hope went to see Dr. Steve Davidson at the Montgomery Cancer Center this past Wednesday. We are thankful for knowledgeable staff who are caring for Gary as he heals.

Here is the good news:

• There is NO new cancer seen in the CT Scan taken last week.
• Gary's oxygenation levels were back up to 95% WITHOUT using any oxygen.
• Gary's blood levels look good.
• Gary is feeling much better this week.

Here is the latest:

• Gary will have a bone scan to confirm no cancer in the bone.
• Gary will have a brief hiatus from chemotherapy for healing and strengthening.
• Gary will receive new chemotherapy drugs that will hopefully not irritate his lung as much.
• Gary's treatment will be every three weeks rather than every week for two and then off one week.

We, the Hundley family, feel confident that this is the best course of action. We are fervently praying for Gary's healing, especially for his strength to be renewed so he can continue in this battle. It was only May 11 when he went in for a pneumonectomy at UAB. June 6 was his craniotomy to remove his brain tumor. And he began this latest round of chemotherapy on July 9. That did not give him much time to heal, physically nor emotionally and spiritually.

Please join us as we go to the Father on behalf of this son of His. We know the Father cares deeply for him, and we know God has plans for him, whether on this earth or in the new heaven and earth. Please remember that my father has asked for 10 more years; we believe God would not have caused such miracles if He hadn't intended on granting his request. But the reality of this fallen world causes us all doubt and fear for what's ahead. Pray for an extra measure of courage for my father, so that he can see all that God has in store for him.

We constantly praise our Father for all He has done. May He bless you today.
