YAY for Modern Medicine!!! and Prayers!!!

So I have GREAT news on the Family Front... These are updates on an old post of mine... I don't know how to link them, so sorry. If you want backstory, look in my archives.

SEAN (my little sister's husband)
Sean finished his chemo and radiation treatments at the end of October. They did some tests and took some biopsies. He had his doctors appointment today, and the doctors say it's a miracle. :) They are not seeing any traces of cancer left in him. I can not TELL you how completely wonderful and amazing that is. He was in "stage 4" - which is about as bad as it gets. And now they don't see any left in him. They are still going to do some tests at the end of this month and possibly cut out the areas that were most damaged / affected by the cancer, but from what they can tell he is CANCER FREE.
Amazing.


and then, there is Twitch...

TWITCH (my father in law)
Twitch has been in and out of the hospital for over a month now. They gave him all sorts of medicines, which seemed to be working. Finally he was cleared to work (which is a BIG deal to him - the man doesn't like to sit still...) He went to work on Monday and Tuesday and then his leg became swollen again. He went to the Emergency Room because he had a huge blister looking thing on his leg. Well, the blood and infection was getting stopped in there at a point in his leg, so they admitted him into the hospital. He was there til Friday afternoon. But while he was in the hospital this time, they were able to cut out the blister (and hopefully all the infection). He had a huge hole in his leg, but less pain than he's had in over a month. He's on the road to recovery as well...

SO,
I am here to say that I am so truely grateful for modern medicine and advancements in treatments and for kind doctors and nurses and mostly for the power of prayer. Every night since we found out about Sean, we ask for blessings for him in our prayers. The kids do too. And since Twitch has been ill, we have been praying for him. We are SO grateful and happy and feel so blessed right now!!! :) :) :) Yay!!!

I thought you would all like to know, since you totally love us. :)
