Miracles Happen

Back in December my daddy found a lump. Yea, that is the worst possible feeling I think. The lump was connected to other lumps - he had Stage IV Lymphoma. If you have ever seen an anatomy book, the lymph system covers all your important parts. There are hundreds of nodes all over the body.

Over the past few months he has handled in true Loner fashion the ups and downs of chemotherapy - hair loss, exhaustion, bodily misfunctions - by writing about it.

Well, the opponent has forfeited the final game - and we win by default.

The oncologist told him that he is in remission - and doesn't have to do his last chemotherapy treatment!!!

WOO HOOOO!!!

Thanks to God for blessing our family, for healing, for steadfastly seeing us through this, for providing us with friends who have supported us when it looked bleak. It was worth every prayer and rosary offered to get this kind of news. Thanks, Lord, most of all for giving Daddy a well-shaped head that doesn't look funny bald!!!
