More good news!

Julie's pretty wiped out tonight after an extra-long treatment, so she asked me to update you. We had more good news from the Doctor today. He said her lung sounded good when he listen to her breath and he said her liver felt cleared up even more since the last time. So, if everything goes as planned, she has only two more weeks of chemo. He will wait about 6 weeks after the last treatment to do a pet scan, then make a game plan of after-care. He told us at the beginning that the goal was to drive the cancer to remission and then maintain it. That would be a great Christmas present. Julie would love to begin the new year by beginning to teach again second semester. But in the meantime, we're just loving what God is doing today. Julie was so encouraged and blessed this morning with a prayer from our friend Bonanzaro in Africa:
Dear Julie,
Receive my greetings in Jesus. I am thankful to the Lord for what He is
doing in your life. There is a purpose for your healing from this cancer.
You will be a tool to comfort those who go through the same hardship. The
Lord is faithful and he will lead till the end what He started in your body.
This morning during our prayer meeting at work, we prayed for you and the
situation in Granpa and Grandma Camp's church. We are confident that the
Lord will handle the matter. May God bless you and let read you soon.
Shalom, Bananzaro
We want to learn how to pray with the kind of confidence and authority that Banazaro prays with. Thank you for your love & prayers!
Greg
