Pray Without Ceasing
The intention of this blog is to record prayer requests, make them available to praying people, and to record God's answer to those prayers. I Thessalonians 5:17 says "Pray without ceasing", which is constant communication with our Father God, His Son, Jesus Christ, and His Holy Spirit.

I CAN BARELY TYPE, I AM SOOOO EXCITED TO WRITE THIS UPDATE! TODAY WAS A BIG DAY, BUT THE BEST PART WAS THAT BRAD'S CAT SCAN CAME BACK COMPLETELY I REPEAT COMPLETELY NORMAL. THE LYMPH NODES IN HIS NECK ARE NO LONGER SHOWING UP! WOW! TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH, WE WERE SHOCKED WHEN WE HEARD THE DOCTOR TELL US THIS TODAY. IT WAS TEARS OF JOY. WE HADN'T HAD ANY GOOD NEWS IN SO LONG THAT WE DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO REACT. TIME JUST SORT OF STOOD STILL UNTIL WE COULD COLLECT OURSELVES. SO, THIS MEANS, NO NECK DISSECTION!!!! NO NOTHING!!!! WE WILL STILL GET A PETSCAN IN SEPTEMBER, BUT THAT IS JUST FOLLOW UP PROCEDURE. PLEASE CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR THAT TO BE NEGATIVE, BUT ALSO GIVE PRAISE NOW!!! WE ARE SOOOO GRATEFUL FOR ALL OF YOU PRAYERS DURING ALL OF THIS. I KNOW THEY WERE HEARD! HE DIDN'T HAVE TO GET A SHOT TODAY BECAUSE HIS RED BLOOD CELL COUNT WAS IN THE NORMAL RANGE - YEAH! WE WENT TO ENVITA, A NATURAL THERAPY CLINIC. THEY RECOMMENDED SEVERAL TREATMENTS TO BOOST HIS IMMUNE SYSTEM. WE ARE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHICH ONES WOULD BE THE MOST BENEFICIAL. IT SOUNDS LIKE SOME PRETTY AMAZING THINGS ARE HAPPENING AT THAT PLACE. WE JUST NEED TO FIGURE OUT WHAT HE NEEDS MOST, WHAT WE CAN AFFORD, ETC. IT IS ALL NATURAL STUFF THAT THE BODY NEEDS - VITAMINS, SUPPLEMENTS ETC - JUST ELEVATED TO A LEVEL HIGHER THAN THE NORMAL HEALTHY PERSON WOULD EVER THINK ABOUT HAVING. TOMORROW MORNING WE HAVE THE FEEDING TUBE REMOVED. BRAD CAN'T WAIT TO SLEEP ON HIS STOMACH OR SIDE AGAIN. IT HASN'T BEEN EXACTLY COMFORTABLE. AFTER THIS, WE DON'T HAVE ANY DOCTORS APPOINTMENTS UNTIL SEPTEMBER. THIS IS SUCH A NICE THOUGHT! AGAIN THANK YOU ALL FOR ALL OF YOUR PRAYERS. TO GOD BE THE GLORY! GOODNIGHT!
