Tears of JOY

Praise God from whom all blessings flow!!!!!

I am coming home today! Waiting on x-ray results and then I will be on my way! Can't wait! I had my last chest tube out and chest x-ray. My doctor said he was running out of excuses to keep me here! I haven't felt better! Still a little sore but not in any pain!

But here is the best part of all! The pathology report came back with no cancer cells left!!!!!

I hope and pray the for all of you who have been sharing this journey with me that you will taste and see that the Lord is good! It really hasn't sunk in yet but the more that it does, the more emotional I am. He has answered every single request, and as we have prayed! I am so excited now to see how He plans to use it for His glory!

If this makes you tearful, as it has me, please give those tears to our Lord and savior Jesus Christ! Please praise Him with me in this compassionate act of healing! Love you all and thankful for your ministry to me! There will be more to come!

BTW, I am in a full liquid diet, swallowing very well! No leaks!

 

Isaiah 38:19

Love to you all!

Tuesday's Update:

I asked Jen via text for a quick update on her mom:

I am here with her now, things are good.
They took a chest tube out yesterday. They are going to run a test on Thursday after they take out the nose drain to check to see if her esophagus leaks or not. Hopefully the second chest tube will come out Thursday too. Pray that there is no leakage.

Gigi's Surgery - The Live Blog

UPDATE: 2:00 PM

Gigi is out of surgery and she is awake.  The surgery was very successful.  From what the surgeon could tell, the tumor was melted away and only scar tissue remained.  After another 11/2 hours, she will be moved from Recovery into her room.

PRAISE THE LORD!!

**************************************************

Gigi’s loved ones were able to have prayer with her moments ago and then she was whisked away to surgery.  She was visibly nervous – but the last thing she said to my sister before being taken back was “Is this purple gown my color?”. 

I’ll pass along updates as soon as I receive them.

Sufficient Grace!

Please keep me in your prayers. I am entering the last phase of the cancer treatment. I will be undergoing major surgery in the morning. This may be the biggest part yet, (believe it or not).

 

I will say, I am quite anxious and am ready to get it over with. I have been feeling pretty good and ready to get on with my life again. But God's timing is His timing and I have to wait on Him. This is something I have to do in order to do the most to fight this disease. I am trusting in my God! I trust my medical team! So here we go!

 

Please pray that I would have no complications, peace for my family, quick healing. You all have carried me to this point and I trust you will continue to continue. I love Jesus and His body.

 

Carmen will update after surgery so you can see your prayers answered and your faith to be strengthened!

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me!

 

Love,
Gigi
