Still keeping you in prayer
Still keeping you in prayer
Christ’s peace, everyone! Per my appointment yesterday, my blood counts have returned to normal. I can begin discontinuing the oral medications and will be completely off of them as of January 23rd. My scan has been moved to the first week of February, so that all cellular inflammation has subsided and a clearer view can be had.
Praise the Lord!! Thank you Mother Mary! Wonderful news Jim!Doctor was amazed at how well I went through the most aggressive part of the chemo. He congratulated me, telling me that the hard part was behind me now. If the treatment had been ineffective, I would likely have been gone by November, he said. I am trying hard not to be arrogant or presumptuous, but it appears that I am cancer free. We will know after the scan next month.
My job now is to allow my body to rebuild itself so that normal functioning is restored. I must ease into an exercise program to regain the strength and flexibility that I lost through the times of inactivity.
Why mention all of this? None of this was my doing. I credit it to the Lord. However, He had reminders throughout each day! He heard all of your prayers, from the first to the last, from the most brief to the most lengthy. He heard each Rosary and mass intention. He heard the Lord’s prayers and every Hail, Mary. Every word he focused on, reading every heart.
Your constant petitions were like those of the widow pleading for justice before the judge. However, in this case, it was the JUST Judge Who heard them all and revealed His mercy and compassion. He blessed me with the strength to endure. He blessed me with that for which I did not ask: healing.
May God bless each and every one of you - now and forever. Amen! Alleluia!
Prayers for your continued healing…
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with Thee. Blessed art Thou among women and blessed is the fruit of Thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
