Well, the 45 minute drive back from College Station was filled with lots of tears, prayers, and trying to figure exactly how I would share with everyone the latest on Dad, so here we go....
Dad had his 4 month MRI and we were told there have been changes- a small 1 cm spot has appeared. A change so small that our oncologist and the radiologist isn’t able to determine exactly what it is- the debate is between tumor growth or the result of a stroke. I’ve never prayed so hard for a stroke in my life. Thankfully, we’ve got an incredible group of doctors working together to figure what they think this is and our next steps. So now, we wait- hopefully to hear something no later than tomorrow afternoon to determine what we should do next.
This is far from ideal, but if I’ve learned anything here last 4.5 years is this journey has involved many ups and downs- and no matter what we’ve been up against we’ve been able to handle it together. I have no doubt this same little bump will be the same. It’s almost too perfect that this page- full of stars and underlines- was my devotional for today:
“You are looking ahead at uncertainties, letting them unnerve you...yet I am always with you, holding you by your right hand...do not fear, for I am with you. I will strengthen you and help you...”
Asking for a few extra prayers as we figure out our next steps. Like I tell myself before each MRI, whatever it is, we can figure it out. And I know this time will be no exception.
