Come what may...

Today we cried.
The weight of moms illness is finally becoming a reality to us.
It is real that the doctors don't know what to do next and we are at a loss as well.
BUT it is also real that all these earthly doctors do not know ANYTHING compared to our Great Physician in Heaven.
He has this under control.
He knows.
He can heal her if He wants.
And if not,
He will still get the Glory.

Praise God!! That is what we will do FOREVER!

This is the text copy of an email my dad sent to our support system this morning.

Dear Ones - We met with the oncologist yesterday;  Despite the fact that
Carol is feeling better - the news from the scan was not good.  The cancer
even with  the one chemo treatment is not retreating in fact some of the
lymph nodes increased in size.  This is just baffling to all the medical
minds that are working together for us.   This puts Carol in stage IV
lymphoma.

Our next stop is Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN.
We have an appointment on May 27, 2014.

Due to medical travel restrictions it will take us about 3-4 days to get
there and they do not recommend flying due to cabin pressure changes and the
edema in Carol's legs.  So we will have a great time - doing some tourist
type things along the way :).  I will miss graduation :(.


- Please be praying for
        The medical staff as they compile all the records - we have to hand
carry them to Mayo
        Safe travel and a time of refreshment as we spend time together on
our journey to MN.
     

We praise God that our sorrow my last through the night BUT Joy comes in the MORNING!

"Come what may, I will follow you. Your gospel peace will see me through. On Sovereign Grace I will depend, to the end." -Abraham Cremeens

We are so thankful for our support system and we are praying to the God of miracles for a miracle for mom! :)
