October 27, 2009 Update

Psalm 112: 7
"He will have no fear of bad news; his heart is secure, he will have no fear."

God is faithful.

Today we got bad news. It was rough, emotional, raw.
I got home and a friend shared this verse with me.
I had to share it with you because it is true.

Mom's heart and life is secure in Him.
NOTHING can happen that does not pass through His sovereign hand first.
While God does not create and afflict, we do live in this fallen, broken world and are not exempt from trials just because we love Him and follow Him.

The six month scans showed the nodule they first saw in June is still present and is now joined by another nodule a bit larger than the first one.

The next step is meeting with Dr. Mulligan, a lung surgeon. He will evaluate if he thinks he can surgically remove the nodules or not.

The Oncologist was out today, but will consult with the other Dr.'s
in determining if additional chemotherapy could be done or possibly radiation.


If it is chemo, it would be inpatient, as the sarcoma chemo Mom received the 6 previous times is not able to be administered to her again.

We really do not know anything beyond this. Once Mom sees Dr. Mulligan, we will have a better idea of her treatment plan. Until then, we wait, we pray, we encourage one another and we stay focused on the fact that God has secured Mom's heart. It is safe, and He is trustworthy.

Thank you for your prayers.

Kimberly and family
