encouraging test results

The day began as Bob and Ann left for Kansas. The were hugely helpful in getting this new crisis under control.

Then we saw Dr. Nordlinger. It was a bit of an effort to make the trip for Nancy as she is still weak. However we got some good news. Nancy's blood work showed some improvement in the liver enzymes. That means we will fire another round of the same chemo drug to bring the raging fire of this cancer under control.

We are not overestimatng the news. The situation is still tough. But we are encouraged that God might yet lengthen Nancy's days. Keep praying.

We have used that exact phrase, that God would "lengthen Nancy's days."

Isn't it neat when God gives us little encouragements in the midst of a difficult situation. Praying for you.

I'm praying for you both from Ennis and am grateful for the encouragement and strength God gives. I so appreciate your transparency and ask our Father that the lengthened days would be GOOD days of enjoying each other.

Really glad for a more encouraging visit to the oncologist...and for better rest at home.

I read this plea of Susannah Spurgeon's the other day and pray it for you and Nancy.

"This morning, Lord, pour your holy 'oil of joy' upon my head, and let the precious, fragrant unction of your grace drop down from hour to hour on the day's garments, till the skirts of night shall enfold both body and soul in the sweet spices of the sleep which you give to your beloved."

Much love,
Larissa
