Cindy met the Lord face to face this morning.
She was comfortable and without pain.
We prayed shortly before and she nows rested in His presence with peace and eternal rest.
Funeral & Memorial arrangements will be forthcoming.
We are so blessed with the outpouring of prayer and spiritual showers on our family.
Then I heard a voice from heaven say,"Write: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on."
"Yes," said the Spirit,"they will rest from their labor, for their deeds will follow them."

The most recent scans reveiled continued desease.
Our doctor is unable to continue treatment due to her weakend condition and un-effective results.
Cindy is resting comfortably without pain at home. Most of her immediate family is here at this time.
As always She has been utterly amazing and continues to focus on concern for others and not herself.
I believe her heart and head are in the right place.
I will let you know if her condition worstens.
May my prayer be set before you like incense;
may my lifting up of hands be like the evening sacrifice.
Psalm 141:2

Cindy's most recent PET scan revealed a new occurrence in her liver.
Her treatment options now require her to start a new chemo drug next week.
This drug will be given once a week for the next month or so.
If her side effects are manageable and the drug is effective in nuetralizing the disease then she can continue this course of treatment for the foreseeable future.
But each day the Lord pours his unfailling love upon me,
and through each night I sing his songs,
praying to God who gives me life. Psalm 42:8

Cindy has been enjoying a few months without chemo treatments since the first week in June. She has been feeling very good and gaining strength and energy.
She has been following a strict diet and taking Vitamin C infusions to boost her immune system recovery.
She will start Cranial radiation treatments this week.
They will last for about 14 days.
Please pray for her ability to successfully tolerate these treatments and their effectiveness.
Colleen leaves for Longwood University on the 18th.
Praise the Lord!
For he has heard my cry for mercy.
The Lord is my strength and shield.
I trust him with all my heart.
He helps me, and my heart is filled with joy.
I burst out in songs of Thanksgiving.
The Lord gives his people strength.
Lead them like a sheperd,
and carry them in your arms forever.

Cindy had a ct scan last week which revealed no changes from her previous scan. The doctor wants to let her recover from chemotherapy for a spell.
She is going to have a bone scan this week to confirm no new activity there as well.
The doctor would like for her to visit a neuro-ocologist next week to schedule some radiation treatment. This would address any disease which might effect the central nervous system. Chemo therapy does not effect the central nervous system so this is a precaution to protect her further.
Colleen graduated on June 16th and Cindy celebrated her birthday on the 18th.
Please join us in prayer and worship for the Lord's provision.
Psalm 97
1 The LORD reigns, let the earth be glad;
let the distant shores rejoice.
2 Clouds and thick darkness surround him;
righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
3 Fire goes before him
and consumes his foes on every side.
4 His lightning lights up the world;
the earth sees and trembles.
5 The mountains melt like wax before the LORD,
before the Lord of all the earth.
6 The heavens proclaim his righteousness,
and all peoples see his glory.

Cindy completed her 5th treatment last week.
The doctor did change her chemo drug in order to not stress her tolerance anymore that we needed for effective results.
This produced shorter treatment times and milder side effects.
She will complete her 6th treatment in the last week of May.
We anticipate another ct scan to show continued improvement.
On a praise note, Morgan earned her college degree in photography from VCU on Friday of last week.
Please continue to pray for Cindy's healing and God's presence.

Cindy took new scans this week which reveiled an improvement in the reduction of disease.
The doctor commented on her remarkable handling of this type of chemo treatment.
He confirmed that since she is taking the treatements with a high tolerance level and we are seeing reduction that we should continue her treatments as originally planned (She has completed 4 of the 6).
That said she will take the two remaining treatments and then get a pet scan for a better look at an growth that may still exist.
All Good News and Answered Pray!

Cindy had another pleasant week of recovery.
She begins her fourth treatment on Monday.
Please prayer for her physical, mental and spiritual wellspring as we daily abide in Christ and drink in his grace and mercy with thanksgiving.
Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching. Hebrews 10:19-25
