March 16 update

I have great news! The PET and other scans they did Thurs. are "unofficial" that the cancer is contained in the neck and lymph node area and has not spread to the rest of JR's body!!!!!!
When I called the doctor's offices this morning it was to be told that they'd all left for Spring Break and it would be NEXT wk before they got back and could meet w/ us for the scan results. Their nurses were out too. They said they couldn't give us the news over the phone either which didn't sound promising since we'd gotten the first "cancer" over the phone and the next news that it was "stage 3 and bad, etc...." over the phone. But I proceeded to share w/ 3 different offices this morning how we REALLY didn't feel good about waiting another wk and another wkend to hear if the cancer was spread through his body. And I admit it may have come close to a Roy D. Mercer butt-whooping threat -- but only in a sweet, little ole Christian lady kind of way -- which MAY have inspired two people in the scan-reading department to give me the "unofficial" word.

Of course we are thankful to God and give Him the glory for this wonderful news, and we wanted to share it w/ those who have joined us in prayer about this matter. Our hearts are gladened and rejoice w/ you for your faithfulness in bringing this petition before Jehovah God! Don't stop now. We have a long road to go, and tomorrow at 9:30 is chemo -- again w/ the mice protein.

Speaking of the mice protein they are injecting JR with: We had a mouse in the motor home so I went and bought up WalMart's rat poison and traps, but Jr said since he's been getting the rat parts, he just didn't have the heart to kill them ... said it felt kinda like he was going after a relative or something. I love him and appreciate his feelings, but it didn't keep me from putting out the rat poison.
Grace and Peace
