We CaLL oUrSElveS BLeSSed

We as an extended family have alot to be thankful for this year. We have been blessed to witness a miracle in our lives. My wonderful Mother was diagnosed with tongue cancer early this year. As she thought about this trial and what it would entail with surgery, she had decided that she would live her life the best she could for as long as she was able to. So many people prayed and fasted for her and a few weeks ago her Dr. called and shared with her that he thought that she was a very good candidate for surgery. He told her that he felt he could get the cancer but that it would leave her face disfigured, therapy for a year to get her to talk and eat and a limp because of the bone they would have to take from her leg to give her a new jaw bone. Once again we prayed for her and in the end we felt it was a good move for her to go through the surgery. She did go through a 15 hour surgery and after they brought her out, Dad, Penny and I were there to see her. Despite the venilator that she was on, she looked as though they had did nothing to her. A couple days later she was feeling good and by Saturday she was talking! She left the hospital a week and one day later being able to eat, breathe, talk and the cancer was removed! She is now at home and hasn't had to take more than an asprin for pain. So amazing considering that they took half of her thyroid, half of her tongue, her left bottom jaw bone and a piece of bone out of her leg. A miracle? No question! Heavenly Father heard our prayers as he always does and this time...It was His will to heal.. So much to be thankful for and no possible way to thank Him enough.
