I wanted to post an update on Papa's health after a week of tests and new findings...Following the diagnosis of lymphoma on March 4Th, Jim "Papa" has undergone CT and PET scans. The CT scan revealed a mass on the left kidney. The PET scan showed no other enlarged lymph nodes in the upper body. Doctors are unsure if the mass is lymphoma or something unrelated. Friday Papa and Nana visited a urologist who ordered a MRI scheduled for March 25, which should identify the mass. Bone marrow biopsy is scheduled for March 31st.
Please continue to pray that the mass is benign.
Our family has been overwhelmed and honored by the amount of prayers that have been sent Papa's way. All of you, especially my spirit-filled faith readers have been a tremendous support. I can't even explain in words what this has meant to all of us.
Thank you, friends. I am speechless and saddened...I just don't know what else to say but that prayer works, and we NEED yours.

I pray right now that your family and friends will gather around Jim and hold up his arms in the coming battle - that they will Lift him up to Jesus our King - daily asking for his favor to shine upon him, and be gracious to him.
ReplyDeleteI will keep praying this prayer for Jim in the in the Name of Jesus until you tell me to stop, and maybe even longer.

My heart is heavy for you and your family. You are all in my prayers. I have no words of wisdom, no cliches, no scripture that can help Jim's illness other than to tell him that he is not alone in it.
