That seems to be the story of our lives right now. Dr. Moore called to tell Leslie that the biopsy was positive for cancer on the lesion, but the polyps were benign. She had her CT scan this morning and is now home. Pray the radiologist will get to read it today and file the report and we'll hear from our doctor...or pray for the patience to wait through tomorrow (since it is a holiday).
This is short, but I will add in closing that there was something deeply saddening about hearing definitively that the biopsy was cancer. We've been as close to definitive as we could be the whole time, but now the finality of really knowing it's cancer just kind of hit me. Leslie handled it like a champ, of course. She was pepping up the kids about "getting" to go help her setup her classroom this morning. I'm sure they'll be great helpers!
We're praying for you all continually. Thank you for these updates. They feel like a lifeline, and we so appreciate you taking the time to care for us in this way.
ResponderEliminarLeslie's strength is amazing, but we all know where her strength comes from...our Father, maker of heaven and earth. What a comfort to know that He's sovereign over all these details and has a perfect plan in place.
We love you!
Seth,

You've been in my thoughts constantly since I got the news. I want you to know that I am staking myself up beside you through prayer. Sometimes He calms the storms of life, and other times He calms His child. I know you'll find Him faithful either way. I love you!
ResponderEliminarSeth and Leslie,
ResponderEliminarRick and I are in deep prayer for you! It is such a testimony to see how you are dealing with this. Remember this:
