It's all you can do sometimes

We've been holding our breath all day & evening waiting for the word. Believing in the meantime that our prayers would call down the powers of Heaven. This is the power of miracles. My mom's tumor is gone. It was not lymphoma. From what the doctor could tell, her optic nerve was not damaged & it relaxed back into place once the intruder was gone. For all intensive purposes, it is the happiest outcome we could have hoped for. In the doctor's words it is a mystery to him how a tumor that size did not damage her sight.

There are still miles to go before she is back to normal & we'll now be praying for an obstacle free & full recovery. Please join us in this effort once again.

And don't forget to keep on believing.

p.s. that might be the most tender picture ever captured of my little guy. A huge thanks to his pre-school for providing the early Christmas present!
