Update on Lisa 6/16/17

The Good News:

• We serve an awesome, merciful God who has been so good to provide Lisa with exactly what she needs minute by minute throughout this ordeal. 
• We have a wonderful support system of friends and family. We truly cannot thank you enough for all of your prayers. Lisa says she has felt them consistently throughout her hospital stay, and I have most definitely felt them as well. 
• The surgeon feels confident he got all the cancer removed, and it does not appear to have spread anywhere else! 
• Lisa is recovering slowly but surely from the surgery. As of today she is still in the hospital, but they are hoping she will be well enough to go home soon. 

The Not So Great (but okay!) News:

• She will require chemotherapy which everyone knows is no fun. We are happy, however that God has allowed doctors to be able to treat cancer this way, and we're trusting in Him to heal her completely and restore her to perfect health! 

Update on Lisa 6/9/17

I really can't thank everyone enough for all of the prayers and sweet words of encouragement and love. We are so thankful for our family in Christ.

The Good News:

• The doctors were able to successfully remove the mass.
• Lisa is doing very well so far. Her pain is managed, and her sense of humor is still fully in tact! 

The Not So Great News:

• The small piece of the tumor that they examined during surgery did prove to be cancer.
• We are still unsure of the origin or stage of the cancer or what will come next.  

That's all for now. I will post another update as soon as I know more--probably the middle of next week. Thank you all again for all of the love you've shown us during this frightening time.
