Dear Church Family & Friends,
Good News Again! Donna has had another clear MRI this past Thursday!
I'm not sure if I shared this in the past, but Donna's team of doctors have been wanting Donna to go to a 6 month MRI schedule. We had an MRI scheduled for next month which would be six months from the last one. In the meantime, Donna has had some shooting pains off & on in her eye - as I'm sure we all have had from time to time. However, after having a brain tumor, you go ahead and get something like this checked out. And, Donna learned today from her brain surgeon, Dr. Pricewell Ehirim, once again, he has no comment because he is speechless! Praise the Lord!
Donna continues to work at our church on a part time basis. She has recently joined an evangelism team that goes out and meets with people that have visited our church. She is really enjoying it!
Donna's web site (http://www.coed4.org) continues to get about 750+ hits a month. We are in touch with many folks literally from around the world who find the site. Please be in pray for the people that contact us. When the find us, there is usually a great deal of stress and concern and not much hope. It has been a good time to try to share the Lord with them.
Actually, we recently were contacted by a woman named Teresa who's 67 year old mother was diagnosed with a GBM. At the time of the diagnosis, they only gave her a few months. Teresa had contacted us and we shared some scripture and tried our best to encourage her. She kept our email as it was the only hope that she found. The neat thing about this story is that we recently heard from her again - two years after we first heard from her! Her mother has become a 2+ year survivor! Since her diagnosis, she has returned to a pretty normal life including going on a cruise! (Must be something with brain tumors and cruises!) This was really uplifting for Donna & I to hear this news!
We also have a prayer request. A dear friend, Gail Dorman, has been diagnosed with a brain tumor this week. She is in Eastside Hospital in Snellville, GA and is going to have surgery within the next two weeks at last word. Please pray for her, and her husband Jack. They are godly Christians who only want God's will to be done.
As always, our prayer remains 1.) For the Lord's will to be done, not our will, 2.) For this tumor NEVER EVER reappear, 3.) For the next MRI to be clear, 4.) For all of Donna's side effects to disappear.
As always, we appreciate your prayers, cards and emails. Your prayers have made and continue to make all the difference in the world to our family!
In His Name, Service & Love,
Frank
