Prayer Requests

We have 2 big prayer requests.

In December we learned that Jordan's mother has a second pheochromocytoma tumor. The first was removed 15 years ago from her spine, behind her heart, and was followed by a very lengthy recovery process. It is a very rare tumor, and it's extremely rare that it develops on the spine, and again extrememly rare that it would develop again. But, the doctors now say that she seems to have another tumor, judging from levels in a recent blood test. Since the initial testing she has undergone radioactive testing where radioactive materials are injected and then hours later her body is photographed. The first test was inconclusive.

This week she will undergo a second round of testing. Our prayers are for these 6 things:

1. That she doesn't have a tumor
2. That if the tumor is in fact there that it is in a much easier place to remove
3. That the recovery and risk is much less than before
4. That she will be led to a really great Endocrinologist
5. That she can get into a great hospital to be treated
6. That it isn't malignant

We are also praying for Andrew's grandmother, Nana. We've recently learned that Nana has cancer originating in her colon. We pray for her healing and strength and that God will bless Chap, Julie, Ty and Sheri as they are making difficult decisions.

*****Update on Mom: She just received the results from her second test. Again, no tumor is showing on the tests! We don't know what the deal is? It could be an answered prayer! Please keep praying for her. Thanks!

*****Update on Nana: Nana passed away on January 25th, just 2 days short of her 87th birthday. A beautiful and very touching service honored her on Monday, January 28th. Evan Grace, our new neice, was born on her birthday.
