answered prayer

PRAISE THE LORD! The doctor confirmed friday that Vern's white blood cell count is definately higher and that means he will be able to get his last 3 scheduled chemo treatments starting on tues the 19th, 20th & 21st. The doctor also seemed pleased that Vern hasn't had any worse side affects than he's had (loss of hair, tiredness, weakness etc.) This is of course a big encouragement to us & we know without a doubt all this was possible because of all of your prayers & therefore our Lord Jesus Christ gets the praise. Again we just want to say thankyou & we love you all very much. As the song says "Because He lives (we) can face tomorrow." Amen!

Yes, praise God for the good news about the white cell count. Vern, you have been given such a great trial, but we are so thankful you have such a faithful heavenly Father, who cushions things along the way. Love you and praying every day, Pat and Mitch

Vern,

We've been thanking God every day that you're side effects haven't been too bad. I personally have been thanking Him so much for giving us a brother like you. You are and have always been a loving brother to us and such a wonderful example of a man who puts his trust in the Lord.

Thank you Pat and Tammy for being such a godly wife and daughter and taking such good care of our brother.

Love you guys, Donna

Praise the Lord for His unspeakable gifts. We are so thankful for how God has answered prayer so far and how we have watched Him walk along side each one of you during this time. So, as you are finishing up "round 2" of your chemo, we'll keep praying.
love you lots,
Dar & Bud
