It’s so easy in life for us to receive blessings, many of them almost uncounted, and have things happen in our lives

that can help change our lives, improve our lives, and bring the Spirit into our lives.

But we sometimes take them for granted.


How grateful we should be for all have been brought into our hearts and souls.


I would remind all of you that if we’re ever going to show gratitude properly to our Heavenly Father, we should do

it

with all of our heart, might, mind, and strength—because it was He who gave us life and breath"

A tough break today. Four weeks ago, Dr Butler cauterized a hole in the tumor with metal mesh. It was supposed to take the tumor 6 months to be able to heal--giving us time for the radiation to kill all living cells. The MRI shows 100% healing of the cauterized hole which has allowed the tumor to fill itself with fluid once again. It has grown from 1.5cm back to 4.5 cm within 10 days.
*
CSF fluid is leaking out from under the glue that was liberally applied yesterday. They believe that the tumor size is causing inter-cranial pressure which is causing the fluid to be pushed out of the healing scar tissue.
*
So on Thursday, Meghan goes back for another brain surgery, the most aggressive one yet.
*
Our prayer request: "O Lord God Almighty maker of heaven, earth, and seas, and of all things that in them are.....stretch forth thy hand; let thine eye pierce; let thy pavilion be taken up; let thy hiding place no longer be covered; let thine ear be inclined; let thine heart be softened, and thy bowels moved with compassion toward us."

    Meghan the only reason that Amber was able to post before me was because I was getting my beauty rest and i think Amber found out a long time ago that she just couldn't compete with me. Tell Amber that she spelled my name wrong or did she do it on purpose?, I guess I shall never know.
    Meghan from know on I VOW to wake up at 4:00 in the morning everyday to post first(ok maybe I'm being a little dramatic) but I will try. I pray for ya and miss ya everyday.

    Your BFFEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAE,

    MALLORY
