Update on My Husband's Cancer

My husband was diagnosed with colon cancer at the end of November. They found a massive tumor in his colon the day before Thanksgiving. He was scheduled for surgery December 17th. Two days before surgery they called and said he'd need to reschedule due to staffing issues at the hospital. His surgery got bumped to January 12th. Two days before they called and told him his surgery was changed to another hospital because of staff out due to covid and to get tested for covid. He took a test at home and it was positive. We felt horrible that we exposed a bunch of friends the previous day at our daughter's surprise birthday party. Needless to say, his surgery was cancelled again and they told him to call to schedule once he had a negative covid test. Several people who were at the party with us tested for covid and they all tested negative, thankfully!
How did we do with covid? Just fine. We honestly wouldn't have known we had it except we tested for it. Kids had zero symtoms. We had a little congestion. I took an allergy pill and my congestion cleared up. We do eat super heatlhy. No sugar, mostly organic, and all plant based. We also take a number of supplements and went ahead and took Ivermectin since it's known to help shrink cancer tumors. Not sure if it helped with covid or cancer but that's what we did. 

He got his results from his last test from Saturday late Monday night. It was negative. We've been praying a bunch about this and trying to seek God's will in how to handle everything. After talking to many, many people, including many who have had colon cancer, he's decided to go ahead with the resection surgery. We are so thankful for all the prayers and support we've received. We will continue with our plant based diet. We are greatly enjoying juicing and have seen so many health benefits from doing both. Thanks again for the prayers.

Grace is 8!

Dear Grace,

You are now 8 years old! Your daddy was scheduled to have surgery the day before your birthday and was going to be in the hospital on your birthday. I planned a surprise party with some of your friends the Sunday afternoon before. We dropped you off at your aunt and uncle's house and you thought you were going to go swimming with them. You showed up at our recreation center and we were there with your friends to surprise you. One of your little brother's friends asked if you were going swimming that afternoon and kind of gave it away. But you had a blast and the party was fun for all. You finally got a swimming birthday party!

2nd grade is going well. Your reading and reading comprehension is amazing. You are excelling in all of your subjects. You enjoy dance and American Heritage Girls. You want to play basketball this summer. Your relationship with God is growing and you read your Bible daily. You love your cat and all the animals. I could see you working with animals when you grow up. Right now when you grow up you want to be a vet. Your best friend is Emma. Your favorite food is macaroni and cheese. We are so proud of the young woman you are becoming. You have your annual checkup with your doctor next week.

Love,

Mom
