Praise Report

We just returned from my checkups at UAB. I had a CT scan, chest X-ray and they scoped my throat. I am still clear and cancer free! I also saw my radiation doctor and surgeon. They both felt I was where I should be and even better. I don't have to go back until December; (when my next checkups are scheduled).

We are so thankful and praise God for His grace. We know many of you are still praying for us and really appreciate it. God has used you and your prayers to richly bless us! May He richly bless you also!

Update

I am sorry to have been so long in updating the blog. But things have been improving, not so much daily, but certainly over the weeks and months I can see how God is still blessing me physically. I still have the minor problems with eating certain foods, dry mouth, energy level and realted issues, but these are overshadowed by the great blessing of being cancer free and returning to a more normal lifestyle. I am back at work and almost get a full day in each day.
I have my next checkup on September 16. It will be a CT scan and visit with one of my Doctors at UAB. Please pray for that if you think of it.
Most importantly, I am sad to report that Debbie's Dad passed away Thursday night. He has fought the good fight and finished the course very well. I cannot tell you how much I love and respect that man. He leaves such a rich legacy and Christ-like example with so many lives that he touched. His funeral and reception afterwards was one of the most worshipful and celebratory funerals I have ever attended. Truly, nothing could be exaggerated about Max Thornhill.
Please pray for Debbie, her sisters and her mother. They dearly loved their father and husband, and will miss him terribly. Only the grace of God can fill the void he leaves.
