Hallelujah
Dear Prayer Partners;
This is Dennis reporting that Melanie is home and amazingly recovered from the brain surgery (with the exception of the missing hair and the stitches across her head). We are celebrating Melanie being home.
This is an important time for us as we are getting ready for the next meeting with the oncologist. We should have the results of the biopsy tomorrow as well as the results of the last blood test. These two things will determine the next portion of the battle plan. The biopsy will determine what type of brain tumor she has and will then dictate the type of treatment. The results of the blood test will determine the next phase of treatment for the cancer. The doctors are sure the brain tumor and the cancer are not related so wisdom is needed as to how to treat Melanie the best possible way.
We are so grateful for your prayers as we weather the current storm we are in. We have full knowledge that Jesus is right here with us. We are full of hope as the battle plan is being laid out. We know that we win regardless of the reports tomorrow. We covet your prayers and want you to know how much we value each and every one of you. Words cannot express the peace we are feeling and have felt through the entire time.
One of the things that is important for us is to know that our test is not what the doctors say or the treatment that is prescribed. The test for us is how we reflect Jesus. We understand that it is easy to focus on the circumstances but we know that they do not tell the entire story. The entire story is that we win the war even if we lose some battles. We are standing on the word of God that tells us that we are not done yet and will be around to celebrate many of your stories of how you have made it off the battle field. Remember the goal is to know that as we come off the battle field we will turn and help the next one behind us as they enter their battle.
Again we thank you for your prayers and support and want you to know that we love you and cannot wait to see you.
We will send another email with the results of tomorrows meeting.
Blessings on each of you and your families.
Serving a Big God,
Dennis & Melanie
