Answers to Prayer

Tim had his MRI done today and we already have the results.  The test showed no change from the last time he had an MRI, which means that there is no compression fracture and the cancer is still quiet.  The blood tests also confirm that the cancer is quiet.  Tim's pain is easing up and he has been feeling better in the last few days.  The doctor believes that the pain was from a possible muscle strain, and that it had nothing to do with his bones. This is very good news and we are praising the Lord for His graciousness to us.  We do appreciate all of those who have prayed for Tim this last week.

Another answer to prayer happened today - McKayla (8) was able to ride her bike for the first time since June of 2011.  That is when her JRA began acting up again and she had to stop riding her bike because it hurt too much.  This was really hard for her, because she enjoys riding her bike so much and LOVES riding with her daddy and the boys.  When we started her back on the JRA medication last fall, we began praying that when warmer weather arrived, she would be pain-free and she would be able to ride bikes with the boys.  Today, they went for a 2-mile ride down to the water.  When they returned, McKayla was grinning from ear to ear!  She was so happy to have been on her bike again and she said there was no pain!!!  Praise the Lord!

Prayer

I hesitate to share this because we don't know anything yet, but I know that many of you who follow this blog are prayer warriors and we need people praying for us right now.  Tim has been experiencing pain in his upper back for the last few weeks and it is getting worse.  The doctor ordered an MRI, and it is scheduled for Monday, March 12.  Please pray for peace of mind this week as we wait for this test and the results.  Thank you.
