Note from Dad


I think that it is time for an update.  Gingie is feeling better.  Each day she seems to do a little more than the day before.  She still tires quickly.  The VNA stops once a week and her nurse is quite pleased with the progress.    There will be scans and tests scheduled the first of the month to see how effective the treatments have been.  I continue to pray that all the cancer cells are gone and the tissues completely heal. 

We are told that all of us have cells that go rouge and become cancerous.  Our immune system fights these off and they don’t grow.  For reasons yet unknown, individual’s immunity is weakened and fails to eliminate these wild cells and cancer develops. There are lots of guesses about compromised immunity, but no hard facts.  Gingie needs her immunity system restored to God’s perfect level.  We are told the it might take up to a year.

My prayers now center on Gingie gaining weight and her blood counts increasing as the chemo continues to leave her systems.May God’s healing hand strengthen her and give her complete health quickly.  Thanks to each of you for praying along side of us and holding us up when those tough times seemed oh so dark and gloomy.  Our faith in God has only increased and as a family He has drawn us closer through this than we have ever been.

Thank you,
Rodney
