But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
Matthew 19:26 KJV
If you are reading this, let us first thank you for your prayers and ask that you continue to pray for us and especially my sweet wife, Melinda. When I took her to the emergency room almost a week ago cancer was not even a thought that entered my mind.
It is now Saturday, August 4th, Melinda has had major brain surgery and has been diagnosed with a grade IV astrocytoma cancer.
She should be able to go home in the next few days. The plan is to give her a week or two to heal from the brain surgery then start radiation and chemo treatment. The treatment will be everyday Monday through Friday for the next six to eight weeks.
The doctors are confident that this is a more common cancer they have seen many times before. The recommended treatment has a very high success rate. So with that and a specialized eating plan. We expect her to be back to normal in no time. Praise the Lord for this news.
Many people have asked what they can do to help. First I encourage you to stop now and go hug your spouse, kids, family, etc. you never know what life will throw at you. Secondly, continue to pray daily. We know God is with us. We don’t fully understand the why, but trust God has great plans for us.
We have been blessed to have so many people offer to help with meals, unfortunately Melinda and everyone in the house will be on special medical diets that require us to measure foods and ingredients. If you want to help, we would appreciate gift cards for gas, natural grocers, or Amazon as we begin to travel from Temple to Austin everyday for 6 to 8 weeks of chemo and radiation.
Again, Thank everyone so much for all the prays and support.
