Miracles

I have always believed in miracles and yesterday is proof that they exist. My dad went in for his infusion on Friday along with another test to see how his treatments are working. ~I dread these days because I know cancer is unpredictable and just so life draining, that I'm afraid to hear the results. Watching my dad lose so much weight and suffer side effects (rash all over his face, arms, legs, dry cracked and blistered lips, his hair stopped growing... to name a few) from the drugs has been a hard thing, but I know there is a plan out there for him and for all of us no matter what happens.~ So when I got a phone call from my mom yesterday I hoped for the best but expected the worst. I couldn't believe my ears...5 out of the 6 cancer areas that they were watching showed that the cancer was gone. GONE! We're looking at a miracle here! {I saw the pictures at the beginning of all this from when he had to have his lungs drained and I saw the nodules and cancerous cells all throughout his lung and rib cage and lymph nodes.} And now, 83% of is it GONE! The one tumor that is still there hasn't gotten bigger or smaller, but is staying the same. And he is in the top of his clinical trial as far as results go. The Dr.'s are optimistic and I just know that we need more time with him and this is Heavenly Father's way of giving it to us. And just have to say Thank you! Thank you for this wonderful miracle!
