Update on Mom

Here is an update on my mom written by my sister Lori.

Oh, how great is Your goodness, Which You have laid up for those who fear You, Which You have prepared for those who trust in You In the presence of the sons of men! – Psalm 31:19

My parents enjoyed taking advantage of Mom’s break from chemo to travel together to San Diego to visit family and then to Phoenix for a business trip with Dad’s work. The break has truly been a blessing for Mom in every way and we thank the Lord for this time of physical and mental rest for her.

On Monday, she had a new set of scans taken and the results were a blend of good news and not-so-good news. Her organs continue to be clear of spots, but the spots on her bones have shown enough signs of change to be labeled “progressive disease” and she started a new round of chemo on Wednesday. She will have three rounds of the chemo (about three months) and then another set of scans to determine the next step.

Thank you for your faithful prayers for Mom and for our family. We continue to rest in the tender care of the Great Physician and look forward to the goodness that He has stored up for us.
