One Day Left!

It's day 5 of chemo and 1 day to go! Vince has felt so good this round and he has just breezed through it, and slept through most of it! I know that your prayers are working because of how good he is doing! Thank you!

I am going to sound like a broken record, but each day things change and you never know what you will hear from the doctors. Vince had an xray on his back two days ago, he was feeling a little bit of pain for the last month so the surgeon had him get an MRI last night and today we heard that both of them came back "pristine"! That's such great news! Whoo Hoo!!

The surgeon told us a few days ago that Vince may have to have another round of chemo before the surgery and then I saw him today in the hallway and he said that now they may do the surgery in 2 weeks. So, we aren't really making any plans yet, since things are still up in the air. He did say that Vince's tumor was almost as long as the whole humerus bone and really close to his elbow. He is going to do his best to try to save part of the bone so that he won't have to have a complete bone replacement, joint to joint, so that he will have better mobility in his elbow. Of course, he really won't know until he actually does the surgery, but just wanted us to know of the possibility. We are hoping that once he gets in there that he will find it even better than he thought! So, that's our prayer request for now:)

We are looking forward to coming home tomorrow and sleeping in our own beds! We probably won't be home until around 5 pm, but at least we will get out of here tomorrow!

God bless:)

They raise their voices, they shout for joy; from the west they acclaim the LORD'S majesty.
