Please pray for Melana!!!!!!!!

Hi Friends & Family,

I know that it has been a while since I sent out an update on Nick, Melana and my family, but to be honest it's because we didn't have any new news to share with you all. I do have an update that I'd like to share with all of you and ask you for your prayers. Last Wed, Dec 17th Melana had an appointment to see her oncologist to get the results from her PET scan, that she had completed a week prior. Melana had three (two in her neck and one in her chest) tumors, and based on the results on the scan the two tumors in her neck are gone (Praise God) but the one in her chest is still there. The oncologist can measure a tumor to see if it's cancerous by looking at the cells SUV (not sure what it stands for) but the higher the SUV number the higher likelihood that the tumor is cancer. Unfortunately, the tumor in her chest has increased in SUV's, therefore her oncologist is concerned and is going to complete a biopsy on the tumor on December 31st. Please pray that the mass is just scar tissue or nodules and the it is NOT cancer. We know that our God is the mighty healer and Melana is in God's hands, and we have seen God answer prayers, so please join with us and pray that she is cancer free. Pray that He totally and completely healed Melana and Nick and that they will never have to endure another bout of cancer. As far as Nick's cancer, we still are not positive that the cancer is gone. The oncologists think it's gone, but he has not gotten the official scan to ensure the results of the chemo. Nick will go in for his scan in January and as soon as I get results for both Melana and Nick, I will be sure to forward it to you too!

Thank you so much for your continued prayers, love and support. May you all be richly blessed this holiday season. Enjoy your time with family and friends and keep Jesus at the center of your celebration. When your family goes through a year like my family has in 2008, it makes me realize how amazing our God really is and how thankful I am that He has given our family hope, joy, peace, and love.

May God bless you all and keep you wrapped in His arms!

Living by God's Grace,
