January 5, 2009 - Today we find out if modern medical technology, priesthood blessings, faith & prayers, and 3 months of chemo have cured Gary of Burkitt's Lymphoma. He has been in the hospital since last Wednesday with the last regimen; and after another lumbar puncture, some blood checks, a CAT scan and possibly another bone marrow extraction, they will be able to determine whether there is still any cancer. He is very up-beat and positive, and feels that he is cured. When he was admitted into LDS Hospital in October, they have had only 3 other cases of Burkitt's - and in the time frame that he has been treated, there have been 3 in 3 months! Eerie...
What strength and courage he has had, facing at first a very scarey diagnosis and possible outcome, to one of the very best outcomes for this disease. If you would, please pray especially that the hands and eyes of the medical staff, who will be running the tests today and making a determination of the results, are guided by a loving Heavenly Father. And of course, let's pray and believe together that we will know definite results soon from these tests. Our family is so humbled by your love and support. Thank you to each one of you who are praying for us and taking our needs before the Lord. I feel at peace - this can only come through our Heavenly Father.
