Living Life Between Scans
Sorry we haven’t blogged since last scans, we have been just trying to live life like “normal people”. Mike has been working part-time at the dealership and basketball season had started so we have been going to Jackson’s Wartburg games, and are proud to say he is doing well and starting as a freshman and playing lots of minutes. We love to watch him compete! Other routine things like scooping dog poop😬, getting ready for winter and Christmas and spending time with family have kept us busy as well. We just celebrated Thanksgiving with our family and even had family pictures taken so that was fun!
Mike has good and bad days with the Blu side effects like neuropathy, stomach issues, dryness causing cracked skin in his fingers and an almost constant sore throat, but he enjoys the good days and gets through the bad. He had has maintained his weight the last month or so, and he says he is in a really good place mentally, so that is good!
Mikes next Mayo appointments, including a CT scan are scheduled for December 6th. We are praying for continued shrinkage of the tumors and would love extra prayers from all of you! I have been reading a little book called God’s Creative Power for Healing by Charles Capps given to us years ago by our friends the Weinands. The book basically is telling us that our body believes everything we tell it and it has lots of scripture to back that up. He says: “Your words create images, and eventually you will live out the reality of that image. Every time you speak your faith, it creates a stronger image inside of you. If it is healing you desire, the healing image created by God‘s word and your continual affirmation and agreement with it. Eventually that image will be perfected by the word of God and you will begin to see yourself well. When the word is engrafted into you, it infuses its life into you.” Read Mark 11:23&24. Lung cancer is “our mountain” and we say to this mountain “ be taken up and thrown into the sea”!!!
We will post the good results after Mikes appointment December 6th. Thank you all for your kind words and prayers! God Bless you all
Be Blessed,
Paula
