II Corinthians Twelve

2 Corinthians 12:9-10 He said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.

Going in the right direction


The results are in for the latest bone marrow biopsy. When dad had his first one, the cancerous cells made up 95% of his bone marrow. Today, that number has shrunk to 20%!!!!! Clearly, that number is still way too high, and the doctors will be starting dad on another week of chemotherapy today. Still, we are rejoicing in the improvements we have seen so far. This will guarantee that dad will remain in the hospital for another several weeks, so please continue to pray. The support they have been getting is overwhelming and a huge encouragement. Please, as time passes, do not cease to pray and send cards when possible.

The photo you see above is the view from daddy's room at night.

Dear Steve, Janice, Mark, Melody, Eric, and Heidi, etc ...

We were so sad to learn about Steve's leukemia on the postcard Janice sent us. I am glad to hear that the leukemia is responding to the chemo. So far, so good!

I have performed numerous bone marrows on many patients, but it is amazing how personal it gets when you actually know the person.

We are praying for you all and will check the website regularly for updates.

Dear ones,
Never doubt the power of the God who answers prayer!!!!! I am praising the Lord for the results of the biopsy. It isn't clear yet but the trend is definitely in the right direction. Everyone needs to keep on praying and have faith believing in God's will for brother Steve's life.
Much Love,
Irena
