And He said unto me, "My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me."
2 Corinthians 12:9

Connor

Let's get on our knees again for Connor.

This is from his Mom this morning:

I just got off the phone with the doctor. It is not the news we
wanted to hear. The cancer is growing fast. It is growing in the
direction of the stomach again and also towards the liver. We need to
decide on some direction of therapy to start next week. PLEASE PRAY
FOR GUIDANCE FOR THE DOCTORS. We did receive some information today
that may help them direct their decision on the treatment. We had his
tumor sample sent to a lab which identifies which proteins it
expresses. This helps direct the therapy, making it targeted and more
effective. It highly expresses an EGFR receptor, which several of the
drugs out there are used to specifically treat tumors that express
this receptor. PLEASE PRAY THIS INFORMATION WILL HELP THE DOCTORS
WITH THEIR DECISIONS.

WE were planning on taking the kids to Hawaii for a much needed family
vacation. We're hoping we can still do this. Much prayer is needed.

Connor's school held a prayer mtg for Connor, where the children and
some of the parents prayed for him. The prayers of these sweet
children had to be like a beautiful aroma to God. I have to believe
that he is hearing their prayers. PLEASE CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR CONNOR
AND OUR FAMILY. WE NEED YOUR PRAYERS NOW MORE THAN EVER. WE NEED
GOD'S HEALING POWER!

"Dear friends, do not be surprised at the painful trial you are
suffering, as though something strange were happening to you. But
rejoice that you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you
may be overjoyed when His glory is revealed." I Peter 4:12-13
