MRI scan is CLEAR

Thank you so much for your constant prayers for us and especially yesterday. Forester was calm and easy going as usual. We had to wait as always and I had Slade in tow but she did a great job being patient. (that's a testimony to answered prayers right there.) After 3 years of this 3 month routine I don't tend to get nervous or anxious too often anymore. But, yesterday morning I woke up really nervous and felt like I could burst into tears at any moment. I'm sure it's because of all that has happened in the last month, including a really weird short headache Forester had one day after an ear procedure where he said "oh my gosh, I think my brain tumor just came back!"

 Um, Yeah.

After we arrived at the hospital, all of my anxieties melted away and I felt at peace the whole time we were there and for the rest of the day. If you know me personally you know this is the power of prayer and the work of the Holy Spirit! By evening we received a call from our "inside guy" saying the scan looked perfect. YAHOO!!! For you reading at home I'm sure it seems like "same ole same ole" every 3 months, but for us there are no words to describe how it feels to hear those words even if we're expecting them. So thank you for your prayers for Forester and thank you for praying for me as I really needed it today. Prayer works!!! :-)

Deepest thanks,
Whitney

MRI Today

It's that time again. 3 months has past and Forester has an MRI this morning at 11. It will be his standard brain scan plus a few additional images to see if a tumor (unrelated to his cancer) or other growth could be on his auditory nerve and causing the hearing loss. This is extremely rare and finding something wouldn't change his outcome. His scan will take longer, though. Will you please pray for Forester today and that we will once again get beautiful results of a perfect scan? I always get scanxiety so I guess I  could use some prayers, too.

Thank you,
Whitney
