Praise

On Friday, May 27th Craig had an MRI to see if the new chemotherapy and the blood blocker were working to combat the tumor and cancer cells throughout his brain.  The doctor described the last MRI results as "the worst possible news" and we all knew that the prognosis was three to six months of life if the new medicines proved ineffective.

Jenny described the doctor's findings in this most recent appointment like this...


The oncologist threw open the door and bounded in laughing/giggling and almost shouting: "THIS is the BEST possible news!  I expected improvement but NOT like this!  I checked to be sure I had the right MRI!  This is amazing!"  (I guess she is not yet familiar with what God can do!  She does recognize that “Craig is different” simply by the fact he is alive today.)

Then she proceeded to show us the MRIs from two months ago compared to the MRI yesterday.  The small round tumor that had grown back at the original tumor site is GONE!  It cannot be seen at all!  The massive tumor cells that surrounded the ventricles in the center of Craig’s brain are GREATLY reduced.  Even an untrained eye can see the vast difference.
Amazing!  God is SO good!  We are all celebrating this great news.  Thank you to all of you who have faithfully prayed for Craig.  Please continue to pray as the Lord does a mighty work in Craig.
