seven months later

My mom's Whipple was seven months ago today. Seven months. It seems like years ago that we sat in that waiting room as Mom's surgeon worked "like a bulldog" (Dr. Tauer's words) to remove every trace of cancer that he could see. What he could see. Dr. T is always quick to remind us that Dr. Behrman's eyes are not microscopes (Dr. Behrman, on the other hand, is quick to remind us that he is awesome and did what he went in there to do, ha!). Satan is quick to remind us of all the depressing statistics associated with pancreatic cancer. Still, we hope anyway. We hope because the God we put our trust in seven months ago is still here, and we still trust Him.

Tomorrow morning Trish will have her second CT scan since surgery. As it was stated at my brother's church this morning, every scan is big. The first one was done at the end of her chemo treatments and was all clear! This will be her first scan since being off chemo for three months. We'd love for you to pray with us and trust with us and hope with us and believe with us. I mean, tomorrow is Monday after all, so you'll probably be praying for Trish anyway. You can never count on the clinic being on schedule, but, if they are, we should know something by noon. Pray for another clear scan. Pray for peace for my family and for us to trust God completely. Pray that He will continue to reveal His glory through this journey and that we will never stop praising Him for it. :-)

I thank God every day for every person praying. Love you all. I'll update tomorrow!
