!!!!!!!!!!!
Hugs all around....We definitely heard some exciting news today...they suprised us with a CT Scan today...the scan shows that the lung and auxilla (armpit) tumors have shrunk significantly...this is a giant answer to prayer....our doctor told us we aren't nearly out of the woods yet...but this is incredibly significant...i can see a mess of medical information floating around out of news like this so i will keep things vague until i have a clear picture of what this all means...for now...the chemo continues...they have reduced the chemo because Ramona has had serious infection both times after treatment......anyway....keep praying hard...i have been hit with something lately as well...focus on your relationship with God...He isn't just a giant vending machine that gives us things when he feels like it...also...as far as visiting here is concerned...pretend this is our house...to party hard every night makes people tired...but it sure is boring alone...since july 4 we have spent 24 nights at home and 21 in the hospital...anyway...it's hard to know how to sum up everything with one toonie in a kiosk...we just thank God for the way he showed Himself today...earl

Praise the Lord!!
~~still praying for you two~~
whooohoooo,Praise the Lord.
Sweetness! Awesomeness! God's cool. Keep pressing on, guys. As awesome as this is for all of us, it must still be hard to be stuck in the hospital and for Ramona not to really be feeling any better. Love you both so much and praying like crazy.

WOW!!!! I continue to be amazed at the crazy ways in which God shows His power, and I am so thankful that God chose to answer some of our prayers in the form of this miracle!
Earl, your love and dedication to both God and your wife blows my mind, and Ramona hang in there through this round of chemo. It's great that you have another little miracle from God to help pull you through. Your faith amazes me, and has challenged me in my own relationship with God since I first got to know you. Thank you.
My family and I don't intend to stop praying anytime soon.
Love you both

whooohooooo! that's like the word of the night for me. i kept saying it as i drove away from the hospital, and thinking it in the line at best buy and in the aisles at wal-mart... it was so amazing for me to be there w/ you as the dr. came in and said "i have good news"!!!
i told the youth about it tonight- (just like i told you i would) told them how i'd been impatient w/ god, but how he'd shown me that he had it all under control... i know there's still a battle before you and that you're not done fighting yet, but i am so glad that mixed in w/ my prayers for contined healing (and peace, joy, hope, and patience) i can add in "whooohoo! thanks for shrinking her tumors!" i feel like my faith really grew today. funny thing is, i already felt that before dr. wong ever came in, just visiting w/ you and telling you bout my life and hearing bout yours already pointed me towards god... it was so encouraging to have you care about everyhting going on w/ me when you ahve so much going on w/ you. thanks mona! once again, you were a huge blessing to me today!
just so you know earl, i'm still grinning, even after my scare in the parking lot. i keep thinking about how the nurses seemed to sense that something supernatural was going on and how the one even told us to keep praying... God is making Himself known! and He's showing us, and the staff at st. b. and whoever reads this blog or comes in contact w/ someone who does, that He is still a God of miracles!!!
whoooohoooo!
i love you,
dayna
Hey! Earl & Ramona,
Wow!!!It is so amazing to hear the way God is working and answering prayers. Reg & I are enjoying our honeymoon at a resort in Mexico. Thanks Ramona for being a big part of our wedding....you have touched our hearts greatly. Like LaViss said, there is a reason I fought tears with saying my vows....and "Blessed Be Your Name" just made me seriously think of our Haiti days together. I am in such awe of God for allowing you to be a part of our big day. Called home and got the exciting news about your CT results and just smiled and felt like praising God. You are in our thoughts and prayers Ramona & Earl as you spend another dreaded week in the hospital and continue to seek God and wait for His continued healing. Reg & Ang
Praise God for answered prayers!!! Yay!! Not only for what He's done to Ramona's tumors but also for your insight into GOd this week, Earl. I have been praying so hard for you since your last blog. The nurses are right, God IS working here and His presence is being felt around the world! We are praying for Ramona - that she will not get an infection with this round of chemo and that the two of you will stay strong in the Lord, believing that He is in control and knows what He's doing.
God bless you both, thanks for the great news!
Love, Michele (Jobina's sister)
Praise God! We were SO excited to hear your news! What an incredible blessing and answer to prayer. And it goes along with something we've been wanting to share with you for the past week. Earl the last time we spoke you mentioned that you wished people would keep telling you about miracles and that it was encouraging to hear answers to prayer and so we've been wanting to share this with you. As you have probably heard...a week ago our beautiful baby girl arrived. At first there was some serious health concerns...especially with Ernest as you may also have heard...but it went on the prayer chain and we are all now healing MUCH quicker than the doctors thought! Along with that...you know that the fact our daughter is here at all is a miracle in itself since we didn't think it was a possibility for us. So if you haven't already heard...we wanted to share the meaning of her name with you. Alliana means "My God has answered me". May her life..and yours...continue to be a testament to our awesome God who hears our prayers! Praise God for his incredible power. Nothing is impossible for him!
With hope,
Ernest, Carissa and Alliana Rempel
thats amazing news, praise the lord
just want to let you know i am still praying for you and i hope this round of chemo will be more enjoyable than the previous ones
