praise

I have written a blog in quite some time. This year is by far our busiest and most difficult year of the four so forgive me. I have a huge praise to share. As you all know, Josh's dad has been undergoing leukemia treatment for a little over a month. He was in the hospital for a few weeks undergoing chemo and preventing infection while his neutrophil counts were basically at zero.  He went home a couple of weeks ago to build his blood counts back up. At that point pretty much all there was to do was wait and pray. We all did both. On Thursday of last week they did a bone marrow biopsy to see if his blood was regrowing with signs of leukemia or if the inital round of chemo had done the trick. He had to wait the weekend and yesterday the results were in. His biopsy came back CLEAR OF ALL SIGNS OF LEUKEMIA! Praise the Lord! He has been so faithful and shown himself in awesome ways through this. It is still far from over but this is a huge answer to the many many prayers that have been going up. Thank you to every single one of you who have continually asked for updates and offered encouragement through this process. Our God is the ultimate healer and there is no greater peace than that. Continue to lift Dennis up in the next few months. Starting today, he will undergo 7 days of chemo followed by 3 weeks of rebuilding blood counts. He will have to go through 2-4 rounds of that and they will continualy monitor his progress. As I said before, this process is not over but to get the news that you have been praying and believing for for a while sure can make you lift a shout of praise. I will try my best to keep up with more updates. We love you all.
