Diagnosis

" DIAGNOSIS
No malignant cells identified
Acute and chronic inflammation, histiocytes, foreign body giant cells "

There is an inflammation from the necrotic bone infection site but cancer, be gone!  We are so very thankful.  Extremely happy about it indeed.  ~Traci (Martin's view below, read on please)

So our evening went this way last night after the happy news.

When you serve this for supper,

Mandi's veggie panang with added ground beef by me and, you get this reaction,

it makes the evening a bit dreary.  I love your panang Mandi (no link to share though) but the whole gang has to force it down unfortunately..it is delicious and nutritious with the sweet potatoes, green peas and onions...I don't get it!!  I am such a mean mom, until...I put this on the table.

And get to make up a song that goes to the tune of Happy Birthday with new words like this,

"Happy 3 years with out cancer to you, happy three years without cancer to you, happy three years without cancer dear Daddy, happy three years without cancer to you!"

The smiles soon return.

And all is well and no complaining at the table for a short while. ~tm

Rom 8:31

 

What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us?

 

Rom 8:32

 

He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how will He not also wih Him freely give us all things.

 

Ps 27:14

 

Wait for the Lord; be strong and let your heart take courage; yes, wait for the Lord

 

I Thes 5

 

In everything give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. 

 

Hi all,

 

This week has been a roller coast ride in many ways.

 

Let me start with Winston. On Monday as he was riding home with Traci from the homeschool store, he announced;

 

"Mom, I prayed to God the Father and told him that I accepted Jesus Christ as my savior. Amen."

 

You can imagine the goose bumps that we felt and the surge in emotions that went through us.

 

Yesterday, I received another extension of Grace. The biopsy results came back and showed no malignant cells. The diagnosis is a severe and chronic infection and inflamation which has resulted in this big mass. This infection is related to my decaying and nectrotic jawbone. Since the drain fields are all plugged up, the "sewage" has no where to go.

 

Give a whole new meaning to being full of s*%*....if you know what I mean. 

 

Tomorrow I begin with another specialist to see if we can get the infection under control and eliminated. In the meantime, the exposed bone area has started to heal. The efforts of the surgeon last week in cutting out the nectrotic dead bone has helped the tissue find a live source of bone to bound to. I am hopeful that the whole area will eventually be sealed. I am applying my "miracle cream" salve daily to help stimulate the growth.

 

In the meantime, we take it one day at a time and and remember to be thankful in ALL things as is mandated in I Thes 5.

 

The three candles on the cake signify being cancer free for three years. The kids loved the blowing out part cuz dad can't blow to save his life.....

 

Semper Fi
