“Thank you all for your prayers and encouragement. It really has meant so much to me to know that so many care and are praying for me. I received chemo and saw my doctor today. He said that my tumor is shrinking! It went from a 4×2.5 to a 3×2.5 in just 3 weeks. He plans to continue my treatment as is as long as it is working so well. He does want to put a clip in my tumor in a few weeks. It will be a marker that they can use to take out the tumor once it shrinks way down. My liver levels are normal and seem to be under control. I received another dose of bone medicine today which should help with my lower back and hip pain. On another note, this has been a great week. I even was able to give all three of my girls a bath this morning. It has been nice to get a good bit of my energy back and be able to resume more of my normal activities. I am so thankful that I am still being able to enjoy my family and that I have not been completely miserable during my treatment. God has been so gracious. Our prayers are being heard! I have no idea what path God has for me, but I am grateful for His sweet gifts along the way! You all are part of those. Thank you all!”

He’s having her start radiation on “pretty much the lower half” (in Kristi’s words) of Kristi to try and take care of these areas quickly. Not sure as of right now when this new round of Radiation will be starting, but we’ll update as soon as we know.

Be in prayer for these areas of Kristi’s body! Like before, we’re praying for a supernatural outcome of her treatments!

Keep up the prayers! Proof prayer DOES work and that God DOES answer the cries of His children!

As of 5:30pm this afternoon after talking to Kristi:

The Scans show that the cancer in her liver, her lymph node and left breast ARE GOING AWAY. Because the Scans can’t distinguish between cancer and new bone growth in her bones, they can’t tell if it’s going away in her bones. BUT!, because the cancer is going away in the other areas, the doctor said he feels positive that the cancer should be going away in her bones as well!

That’s all for today!

Thanks again for all your prayers and encouragement and support!

The rod that the doctors placed in her left leg a few weeks ago is really beginning to help with her walking! She had about a week’s recovery, but she’s now walking a lot better, a lot faster and without a walker or constant assistance. Praise God!

Keep praying for positive outcomes with all her treatments and tests that exceed all her doctors’ expectations!

Thanks again for all your prayers and encouragements!

We will have these scheduled UNTIL KRISTI IS HEALED!

Let’s move this mountain, people!

I just received a call from Robert (10:00am) saying she will be going through 10 more days of radiation that will be focused on her backbone.

Pray for the radiation to help clear up more of the cancer in her backbone. Pray big! Pray for it to exceed the expectations of the doctors!

Keep up the prayers for her ultimate healing!

Thanks,

The doctors have suggested she have surgery to place a metal rod in her femur of her left thigh to help take most of the weight off of that side of her hip.

Today (8/31/11) Kristi has a scheduled surgery at 4:00pm for this procedure to be done.

Be in prayer that the surgery goes well. Also be in prayer that the rod helps and that she doesn’t have to deal with another broken bone. Keep praying for healing of the cancer in her bones so that the current breaks, and the ones that could soon be breaks, heal completely.
