Test Results
This picture says it all! We just got the results of the CA19-9. As I said before, his starting number was 37,474. As of Monday, his number is 26,362. Praise God! Dad is feeling great. Whistling around the house, energetic, very little snoozing in the chair (like the first weeks of chemo). He's doing projects (against our stringent objections) and laundry and dishes as usual. Here are some wonderful scripture that Kelli Quinn brought when she came to pray with us. The Lord quickened these to our hearts as we prayed and we wanted to share them so we can be in agreement as we continue to lift Dad up."He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?" (Romans 8:32).
"My Son, attend to My words; incline thine ear unto My sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health (Lit. medicine) to all their flesh." (Prov. 4:20-22)
"How blessed is he who considers the helpless (poor); the Lord will deliver him in a day of trouble. The Lord will protect him, and keep him alive, and he shall be called blessed upon the earth; and do not give him over to the desire of his enemies. The Lord will sustain him upon his sickbed; in his illness, Thou dost restore him to health." (Psalm 41:1-3)
"If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you." (John 15:7)
"Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees; And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed." (Hebrews 12:12-13) (We are also praying for Mom's arthritis, because her knee is getting so painful.)
"Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward. For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise." (Hebrews 10:35-36)
Hang your hat on these scriptures with us and have a day full of rejoicing, this is definitely one of the good days.

Okay, somebody's gonna get it for putting that picture of me on the blog. Cari, when I see you, you're getting a beat-down!
On a happier note, YIPPEE! i'm thanking God for his continued faithfulness. Who's report will I believe? I will believe the Lord!
The picture of Tom whistling in the midst of such an epic battle is such a blessing to us. PTL for this CA19-9 victory!!
Shouts of joy and victory resound in the tents of the righteous: "The LORD's right hand has done mighty things! (Psalm 118:15)
Great News! We continue to believe God's promises for you and Eileen.
Love you Both!
Tom and Eileen,
Jeff and I have been praying for you since the day that we found out about the cancer diagnosis. Bev told me about this blog last night. Cari thank you for doing this, I will start checking on it regularly now that I know about it! I have been keeping in contact with Suzanne for updates, but it has been a few weeks since I spoke to her last, so we were amazed to hear about all that God has been doing in the midst of this struggle and thrilled to hear about the wonderful test results!!! Praise be to God!!!
I can't even begin to tell you what a blessing the two of you have been to our family. Of course Jeff has known you all of his life, but the first memory I have of you was at our rehersal for our wedding (we will be married 24 years in Oct.), the stress was getting to me and Eileen and Lorriane took me aside and prayed for me, for our wedding day and for our marriage. Tom and Eileen your marriage has been an inspiration for us, you have such an enduring love for each other and I know that it is a result of your love and commitment toward putting God first in your life! Your unwavering faith during this difficult time is an encouragement to all who know you. We stand with you as you fight this battle and we believe that with God you will win!
You (Tom)are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed, and heir according to the promise. (Gal. 3:29)
Show me Your ways O Lord;
Teach me Your paths.
Lead me in Your truth and teach me,
For You are the God of my salvation;
on You I wait all the day.
(Psalm 25:4-5)
Continuing to pray and wait on the Lord for a complete and full healing!
We love you so much!
Jeff, Kerry and the boys
