Today’s the Day

Well today is the big day for Laura, and the rest of us.  We are going in the hospital at 11am and Laura will receive her bone marrow sometime from 12pm on.  We’re not sure of the exact time.  The doctor said it would take around 2 hours to receive the bone marrow and then Laura needs to stick around for another 2 hours as they monitor how she’s doing.  Your prayers would be greatly appreciated today.

Laura got up and said that today was her last day of having cancer.  That kind of threw me for a loop because it seems like the norm living with cancer now.  But I thought, “She’s right.  This could be the last day of her having cancer.”  Amazing to think this way but awesome also!  Thank you all for your faithfulness at supporting us in so many ways.  A couple of friends sent some checks this week and this helps out tremendously.  Thank you for your incredible generosity during very challenging times.  It really makes me think of those going through cancer who don’t have a good support system.  I don’t know how they do it.

Love,

Brad

    Right now Laura is probably in the midst of her surgery. I was with some girlfriends at breakfast, and mid-sentence I stopped, remembering Laura’s surgery today, and asked if they would pray for Laura with me. It was such a surreal moment, knowing that these women, who do not know Laura, are still her family, her sisters in Christ. Hard to really grasp sometimes but so powerful. Together we asked for God’s direction in every matter today - for the doctor’s, for Laura’s peace, for strength and peace for your family, etc. I know God heard us asking these things for Dear Laura! Anxious to hear how it all goes today.
    Loving you!
    Lynn (for the fam)

    Glad we ran into your family at Patachou last weekend. God brings you all to mind often, and we pray for Laura regularly. Tara, Mark, and Crew!
