I am so grieved to have to share that the tumor has grown. We have not lost our hope. . . although. . . it does feel like mine, at this point, is being held onto by just my pinky. JUST BEFORE the Dr. came in to talk to us the Child Life Specialist was in our room asking Elaina to cast her vote for the Elf's name that was going to be at the clinic. . . One of the names was "Hope" and wouldn't you know it . . . that is the one she chose.
A picture is worth a thousand words, or so someone once said. . . and, well, this picture says so much to my heart! It reminds me of the hope God whispered years ago. . . "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future" Jeremiah 29:11b. I do not know why I chose this picture to post yesterday on Facebook but God must have known I would need it. . . He knows I need reminders often. . .
Our Dr. wants to talk with some others and research a little and then she'll call us. Oh the wait.. . this was always the part I hated. Most likely we will be doing another MRI in two months. PLEASE PRAY! We need wisdom. . . peace. . . healing. . . and strength for this next chapter.
My heart goes out to you to have to again gear up for this battle. Remember the footprints in the sand...he will carry you through this. I will keep you all in my prayers. Claire
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if you remember me, but I am Madison Monday's mom. We were at clinic with you all sometimes. I wanted to let you know that I am praying for your sweet girl and your family. Relapse is a hard and stressful time and I pray for peace and calm to come over your family and for the doctor to find the very best treatment for your daughter. Melissa

When you don't know what else to say, JUST SAY JESUS! He is perfect and complete, and IN HIM THERE IS HOPE!
I am a fellow Truthtrekker mom who would like to follow your blog.... remembering as often as possible to lift Elaina, and the whole family, up in prayer before the Mighty Name of Jesus!
