So yesterday after radiation, I went for a blood test. I've been feeling some discomfort in my chest and so I wanted to rule out some things. The results from the blood test showed that my hemoglobin is really good for me (112) and so the shortness of breath/discomfort is not due to low hemoglobin. Good and bad-fixing low hemoglobin would be pretty easy.
So today after radiation, I had a chest x-ray. I don't have the results yet, but expect to get them early next week.
As we seek to trust God and know that everything is perfectly in His control, it's hard not to worry. It's hard not to think that the tumors in my chest are growing once again. If they are, then what? As soon as these thoughts enter our mind, it's a battle to replace them with positive, life words/thoughts. For Earl & I it feels like yesterday and today especially, have been emotionally/spiritually intense. We trust God and not the symptoms, but the battle to do so is exhausting.

Hello Ramona,
My name is LeAnn. I have adopted 3 children from GLA. I believe that you were there when My daughter Mamaze was very tiny. She is now 4 and doing very well. I hope that this is you.
I also wanted to say that I have been praying for you and your husband. I can not imagine what you are going through. In all that you are dealing with God is faithful and He will never leave you. May the peace of God transend all understanding.
If I have the right person check out my blog : cornerorourheartsforhaiti.blogspot.com
Hi Earl and Ramona!
That waiting game between the tests and the results is always so hard, isn't it? I've never been one for waiting...immediate answers are more my thing. I'll be praying for you this week while you wait for your results and also that the outcome of those results is positive.
God bless you both!

Thinking of you Earl and Ramona. You both are absolutely wonderful people. Although I can't imagine what you are going through...your faith is very strong and I admire that about you. Keep praying and remain strong...god has done miraculous things.
I've been following your blog since it began but have never commented. I feel I need to now. I've been praying for you the whole time. My cousin-in-law has fought and beat ovarian cancer. She has used many natural products and just in case you haven't heard or tried some of these things I thought I should tell you about them. Wondering if you want to e-mail me at rrstrempler@hotmail.com and I can tell you more.

I can only imagine how trying it must be to have to wait so long for such important answers. But I know, if anyone can do it--you guys can. You've lived your lives in such an amazing way in all you've been through in the past few years. And you remain strong. What a blessing and inspiration you are! Thank you both. Your faith and positive attitudes totally amaze me. Keep on trusting God as you do.
Blessings,
Jealene
"Listen to the sound, listen to the sound, of a nation praising God!..." I read your blog and many times, I hear/read/see you, Earl & Ramona-praising GOD! I am so thankful that we have a wonderful God who cares for us in so many marvelous ways. I am blest by the sound of a nation praising God... I sit here in the office at the shop and I close my eyes for awhile as I listen for sounds of praise; machines running in the background, a vehicle passing by with music on... George singing at his machine! yes, and someone whistling... I open my eyes and smile. So many good sounds. I am thankful for hearing, and for sight!! I can/could get up and look at nature outside. How lovely are our sunrises in the morning, {ok, a cpl hrs ago!} how beautiful is the pink sunshine on the white snow, which is really so many shades of blue and white! and the crisp corners of the sculpted snow drifts, a snowy owl gazing at me from on top of a hydro pole, animal tracks into a culvert...I love God's creation! I hope you feel rich too when you see the diamonds sparkling in the snow, they are all for you !!
Love you guys and pray for you continually.
