Quick note.
Ramona and I made it to the hospital around 8 this morning.
One blessing already is that Ramona's blood count looks good. (Yesterday's was filled with warning asterisks)
Chemo should start around 1:30. (Seeing as everything in hospitals always goes according to plan :) )
Where ever you are today you've got an opportunity to praise God. Thanks for agreeing with us for a miracle.

I'll see if I can print out the comments and bring them to Ramona

Praise the Lord, for He is Great and know that we hold you up in prayer. We believe in miracles and we also believe that the Lord has a bounty full of them. Earl (Cook) found this passage and has been rejoicing ever since he read it.

2 Kings 20
Hezekiah's Illness
1 In those days Hezekiah became ill and was at the point of death. The prophet Isaiah son of Amoz went to him and said, "This is what the LORD says: Put your house in order, because you are going to die; you will not recover."

2 Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the LORD, 3 "Remember, O LORD, how I have walked before you faithfully and with wholehearted devotion and have done what is good in your eyes." And Hezekiah wept bitterly.

4 Before Isaiah had left the middle court, the word of the LORD came to him: 5 "Go back and tell Hezekiah, the leader of my people, 'This is what the LORD, the God of your father David, says: I have heard your prayer and seen your tears; I will heal you. On the third day from now you will go up to the temple of the LORD. 6 I will add fifteen years to your life. And I will deliver you and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria. I will defend this city for my sake and for the sake of my servant David.' "

7 Then Isaiah said, "Prepare a poultice of figs." They did so and applied it to the boil, and he recovered.

Hope is the gift God gives us for without hope there would be no reason to press on. If Winston Churchill considered a war worth fighting no matter what, then in this battle you too can say, "Never give up, never, never, give up." God alone knows the plans He has for you, so run the race as if the prize is within reach.

Prayers,
Aunt Marlene

We are from Red Lake and have many friends in Arbourg. We have carried you on our hearts after meeting Ramona's mom at Jon and Mandy's wedding, and stand beside you in prayer. Know that when your arms are weary as were Moses', you've got an army of friends holding them up and fighting the battle beside you.

Ramona and Earl,
spoke with Natasha's preschool teacher today about you guys, she and her husband have witnessed a lot of miracles of healing in their church and she was very moved to hear of your battle and your faith and said to tell you (in tears) their church will be raising you up in prayer for God to do a miracle.
Love, Christy
