More Opportunities for God to work through Prayer

We went to the doctor today and Mike continues to do well. His platelets are up enough to do Chemo tomorrow. They are still not in the normal range, and that makes me a little nervous. However, I take it as an opportunity to watch God work through prayer!

Mike is still eating well, but we have had two instances today of food getting stuck. So I am going to call the doctor to see if we can go in and have it stretched again on Monday. Of course, that is providing his numbers hold after Chemo. Yet another opportunity for God to work through prayer!

We got another offer on the house today. It was considerably lower than the asking price. It occurred to us tonight that the loss we might have to take on the house is larger than the payments we have made on it up until now. We are going to call the bank and see if we qualify for any of those special incentives that passed this spring. There is one option of just handing over the deed to the house. I need to find out what that means based on credit scores and such, but it may very well be an option. It would basically mean us taking at loss of about $30,000 as opposed to selling it at around $50,000. We will see what happens. Yet another opportunity for God to work through prayer!

School is finishing up next week for Elizabeth. She is busy with the end of softball season and the beginning of swim team. One more week of craziness and then summer!!! Speaking of next week, we opted for chemo tomorrow because next week is all the end of school activities/celebrations. We are hoping that Mike will bounce back quickly and be able to attend everything next week. Yet another opportunity for God to work through prayer!

Prayer needs:
Wisdom over our house in FL... Divine insight and wisdom
Chemo - it will kill only the cancer cells and leave the healthy cells intact
Platelets - that they will hold strong
Protection from infection/disease for everyone in the family
Esophagus - that God will hold it open and that we can get the stretch on Monday
Mike's food intake and blood work will be strong enough to get off of TPN
Divine timing and care for us to go to the beach in July as we have done for 6 years now. So much needs to happen medically for us to take this break. We really want to go as a family with our family.

Praise:
A roof over our heads...My brother Scott for letting us stay in his house for so long without rent.
Medical needs
Godly men and women in our paths
Dr. Bo and his adjustments
Teachers
End of School year!!!
Our dear friends
ONE MORE DAY AS A FAMILY
