So now we finally know when my CT will be. Next week Thursday, the 7th, in Selkirk. A week after that we meet Dr. Wong for the results of the CT as well as the Mugga. Earl & I are glad to finally have these dates but we are very disappointed that they're not sooner. We really feel an urgency to move onto the next step. We know that my cancer is an extremely fast growing cancer and what's not to say that my tumors are rapidly growing again??? Earl is spending a lot of time today calling doctors and nurses in Mayo and St. B. to see if this really is the best they can do or if it's wise.....
So that's what we know as of right now. Our prayer is that these tests and the results could happen much quicker so that we can get rid of these tumors the sooner the better.
For now

Just want to encourage you to keep your chin up. I know it is very frustrating and hard to wait, not knowing what is happening inside the body. God is in control, even if it doesn't feel like it. He knows what is going and how your are feeling and how much you can take. Even if at times you don't feel like He knows or you wonder why, how long, what now.. God's ultimate goal is a relationship with you and that has been your strength from the beginning. You are growing in Christ and it shows. Keep trusting and asking God questions, He loves to give answers too.

It must be really hard to wait, after waiting for a long time already. some times it absolulty sucks to be patient, and to sit still and not be able to do anything. im praying that the wait will be worth it, and that gods peace will reign on you. im remembering the little i have seen of you two this year at camp, the first week when you had to go get tests done and earl was really worried. the last week, you helped with tuck, and earl gave my cabin a nugget of wisdom somthng about having the dirtyest cabin haha( i wish i could remember what the nugget was ) but after the nugget earl was talking to my cabin and telling them about ramona and how there was no medical hope for you and that the only thing that could heal you was god.
i hope that you will feel peace in your time of waiting and god will bless you.
you have such a heart for serving and you have continued serving even when sitting in a hospital bed even if you dont know it.
grace and peace

Hey Ramona....I'm sorry you have to go through all of this waiting. I'm praying that God will give you peace and patience as you wait for tests & results. May He wrap his arms around you and hold you close.
HE will not forget you for HE has engraved you in the palm of HIS hand. Imagine the ultimate love!! Can you imagine how He must love you to lay all this on you both knowing that HE only gives you what you can carry.
Humanly speaking it must be tough, it must be stressful, so hard, and maybe we would even say we feel so sorry for you. What a shame..
God's outlook: I LOVE YOU!! Come to me all you are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest! [PEACE!!]
Prayers for you to remain strong and steadfast in faith and faith! Len & Dianna Hofer [MB]

I can't begin to imagine what it must be like for you to have to wait for these tests. Prompt answers to your questions would be so much easier on the brain, eh?
I know in my heart that God's timinig is perfect. He will direct the doctors and the two of you in the timing of His choosing. I know that probably seems like a pat answer, but it's what I believe.
I'm praying for you both.
Love, Michele
oh ramona,
part of me wants to be so mad that all the 'hospital ppl' aren't rushing around, bustling you in and out of that test (like 2 weeks ago!) and then in and out of dr. wong's office and then onto whatever treatment is next!
but the other part of me knows that being angry or even annoyed won't help you at all. so rather, i pray! oh, i pray that those tumors aren't taking this extra time to grow, but rather that this extra time is giving them more chance to shrink into nothing!
and i just pray for the both of you, that this set-back (or at least that's how i'm seeing it at this point) won't be something that will make you doubt in God and his timing... but that somehow, in the end, we'll see this time as His gift, see it as a way He was working even when we didn't kow it! oh, but that'd be nice to kow already, wouldn't it!?!?!
that's what's on my mind... at least right now. ask me again in a couple of hours... oh! and also i miss you! how was the pecan cracking party?
i love, love, love you,
dayna
Earl and Ramona,
"Happy 1st. Anniversary"
May you celebrate each other this weekend. As you look back to your first year of marriage, many happenings just don't make sense and far from what you planned. But in it all may you celebrate God's faithfulness to you this past year. Love, Gloria.
Earl and Ramona,
I was also reminded of a year ago. Your marriage is such a blessing. I know others who have been encouraged by the way your marriage works. Keep being each other's best friend and so much more.
We think of and pray for you often!
HAPPY FIRST ANNIVERSARY
RAMONA & EARL
You are in our thoughts,

What a year you've had!!! I wish and pray for amazing things for you this coming year. You've been through more than most married couples will go through in a lifetime. I believe that God placed you together, and I pray that He will continue to bless your marriage.

happy aniversary from Cliff and lucille and family:) get better soon!!! we are all praying for you guys
Happy Anniversary Earl and Ramona! I remember very vividly celebrating our sixth anniversary during Lorna's year of chemo. She had chemo and radiation the day of our anniversary, so we celebrated the night before. It's such a bitter-sweet memory now, but it is a memory we hold onto and it reminds us of God's faithfulness. I'm praying that you'll be able to look back at this time years from now and remember with gratitude the goodness of God in the middle of a dark, unpleasant time.
ah, so it's time for the anniversary wishes i was gonna be sure to remember to wish on time... and didn't! sorry :S good thing all these blogger friends have reminded me!
i just wish i was a writer and had many profound things to say. my biggest wish for you, i think, is that you will have many, many more anniversaries to celebrate! and that in the ones to come, you won't be anxiously waiting for a test and so on....
that's not to say that you weren't able to celebrate this yr or that it wasn't an exciting time... b/c as has been said- your first yr of marriage is something to celebrate! you 2 continually amaze me!
i love you, dayna
Hey Earl and Ramona,
Diddo on all the earlier comments. Jake and I have awesome memories of your wedding day. It was very real, deep, worshipful,pointing to God's greatness and it was also unique, uniquely you guys, it was beautiful and it was fun. We still believe more than EVER that you are a dynamic couple whom God has placed His hand of blessing on. We don't understand why you have to face such an intense thing but we believe that God brought you together for a purpose and your lives and devotion to Him and to each other is profoundly precious in His sight. Inspiring to us... we're thinking of you and praying for you every day, guys. Remember your invitation... "Where there is great love there is always miracles"
Love on....
Christy
There are those who donot need to quote.
