Miracle Man

The Miracle Man continues to be evidence of God "showing-off!" Yesterday Mitch was given a follow-up CT scan to see how his lungs have fared these past two weeks. Praise the Lord for His healing touch. The results reported today showed "significant improvement" including the disappearance of some of the nodules that have been a concern. Thank you for your prayers. Thank the Lord for His healing intervention.

In fact, Mitch is feeling so much better that he was disconnected from his IV pole and discharged to recuperate at home for the next several days. He will have daily blood work and clinical appointments at the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance but that's not too much trouble in exchange for sleeping comfortably and resting at home.

In conversation with one of the nurses prior to our departure, I commented, "He's certainly living up to his moniker of 'Miracle Man.'" She responded by telling me that Mitch's turnaround is the most dramatic of any she has seen since she's worked on the floor. "Whatever you're doing - keep it up!" she said. Another great opportunity to share ... all we do is pray - it's the Lord who does the "doing"!

Thanks for your continued prayers. We're seeing many miracles and we're very thankful. We know we are not out of the woods as we wait for Mitch to be declared "in remission" and proceed to the transplant. However, we know God is doing a good thing and we are celebrating.

P.S. Chris Rice's song, "Life Means So Much" has been ringing in my head these days. In it, he says - "Teach us to count the days, Teach us to make the days count". Also, "Every day is a gift that we've been given. Make the most of the time every minute you're living." It's a lesson we're learning!
