Today my heart is very heavy. Josh's dad, Dennis, is being admitted to the hospital today to start treatment for leukemia. He went to a hematologist about a month ago and they discovered he had anemia. They gave him a B12 shot to try to eliminate the anemia. They gave him a shot that last a month and decided they would see how that worked. He went back on Tuesday and the B12 had not worked near like it should have. They decided the next thing to do was to do a bone marrow biopsy asap because his blood work seemed to indicate leukemia. We spent a huge part of Tuesday night talking and praying and hugging. Yesterday morning they did the biopsy and last night they confirmed that his dad does indeed have Acute Myeloid Leukemia. Josh drove home last night to be with his family. They are admitting him for a month right now to do the necessary treatment. Please keep Josh and all of his family in your prayers. Pray for God's miraculous healing and the peace that can only come from Jesus Christ. Pray specifically for Josh that he will be able to focus enough to do what he needs to do with school also. This is a rough time for him and it has got to be so hard to even think about anything other than his dad but school does not let up. I am here going to class and getting notes so that he does not get behind so that he can focus on what really matters right now. The next couple of months are probably going to be the hardest, most trying times of this family's lives so continue to lift them up. There is such a power in believers coming together and believing miracles.
