If ever there was any doubt in your mind that God in his bountiful mercy exists, please let this dispel all question that He hears and answers prayers. 

Update on this week by Kelly: 

This week started out with a trip to see Sister Dulce Maria at the Cypress Springs Prayer Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. We had been told about her and her gift of healing by two friends, and were able to get an appointment with her sooner than expected. She has a waiting list a mile long, however had a cancellation for Tuesday, the day before my PET/CT scans. We spent the day Tuesday praying in the chapel and having a picnic on the grounds before our appointment time. I encourage you to google her and read about her story and ministry. She is just a wonderful, down to earth woman filled with good humor and the peaceful love of Christ. She is so humble, yet confident, that we couldn't help but feel the power behind her prayers and ours as well during this time.

Yesterday I had my PET and CT scan at Centennial Hospital in Nashville. After being injected with radioactive glucose, I was taken into the room where the scanner is. Thanks to my claustrophobia, I got a little panicked and had my mom come into the room with me to talk to me and pray me through the tight tube that I was slid into. 

Then came the fun part... waiting for the call from my doctor, Dr. Numnum, to tell me my results. Although the nurse said he wouldn’t be able to call me until today, he called me last night to give me the results of the scans. He told me that he had good news for me: the PET and CT scans were NEGATIVE, meaning there is no sign of “visible” cancer tumors left in my body! He quickly added that most often when he has a negative PET scan, there are still “microscopic tumors” left behind. 

We are still planning on surgery soon, however now it won’t need to be as extensive as we had originally thought. Dr. Numnum was stunned and obviously very happy with my results! 

Dr. Numnum said that I’m not completely out of the woods yet, but I’m getting there! I have an appointment with Dr. Numnum Friday morning to further discuss my results as well as make a game plan on where to go from here. He’s also anxious to get my platelets higher before we go to surgery. 

We have seen so many miracles along this journey, and want to thank you all so much for your prayers, sacrifices, and support. Please keep up the prayers as this fight continues! Our God is a good one for sure and has been showing His Healing Power and Merciful Love throughout all of this. We are speechless and most of all thankful.

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7
