Test Results

[Fletch]

Brother and Sisters we got the results back from the biopsy that was done last week during Teri's endoscopic exam. Drum roll please, the growth is BENIGN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you Jesus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you all for lifting Teri and I up in prayer. You have Honored us and Honored God in your prayers.

The growth will still have to be removed, so surgery is still in the future. But, we can rest a whole lot more peacefully tonight.

Thank you Brothers.

May God Bless you as you have Blessed us.

Teri had another endoscopic procedure yesterday. The Dr who performed this procedure was a specialist with the endoscopic ultrasound. The results of the tests were that the growth is about 3cm in size and 5 mm thick, about the size of a quarter. The growth appears to be on the surface of the duodenum and my be able to removed with minor surgery in stead of the Whipple procedure they were originally talking about. We still have to meet with the surgeon to get his take on things but we're in a better place then we were this time last week.

Thank you all for your prayers, Teri is holding up well but as you can imagine at times discouraged.

I'll keep you posted on where God takes us next on this amazing journey.

Thanks for keepin' us informed Dave. I'm in the process of overcoming discouragements myself, so I knows exactly how to pray for Teri. Kinda like the 'footsteps in the sand' thing.

You take it easy too bro! Nice to be part of the family.

Later and God bless
