Monday's Progress

Greetings,
This is Monday night and it is good to report that Nathan had a good day today. Nathan’s recovery from surgery is coming along really well. So well in fact that he will be able to come home tomorrow, (on Tuesday, 8/9). Today he was able to enter into conversation more with people, asking questions and contributing to the conversation. He was also smiling more which is always a good sign. Nathan still struggles with short-term memory loss and with reading. We trust this will improve with time and with therapy. His balance and walking is good. For these improvements, we rejoice. The pathology report from the brain tumor biopsy came back positive for rhabdomyosarcoma. We meet with the radiologist on Thursday to discuss Nathan’s treatment plan, which will likely consist of radiation and chemo. Pray that we may know God's wisdom in all of the decissions that lie ahead. Thanks for keeping Nathan, us, and the doctors in your prayers. We continue to trust in God’s healing presence for Nathan’s healing. Your ongoing support is an encouragement to us and to Nathan. Thanks

Tim & Carol

Hi Nathan!
Maybe it's going to take some more time untill yu will read this note. For me it is hard to be patient, but for you it is maybe even harder. Good to know, that God is close to you, knowing what you really need. His strength be with you

I pray but it does still get to me, the fear and weakness within me. By the grace of God he knows it all already and I take comfort in that. I will continue to pray that the doctors will know what next step to take and I also want you to know that you are loved and cared for. God is there with you and I take comfort in that. Knowing that His strength and love is with you right now.

I'm rejoicing with you that Nathan gets to go home today!!! And I'm praying with you for wisdom and strength with upcoming treatments. Your faith will keep you steadfast during the unknown, and as you know, God is right there beside you now and always. He proves it again and again! What a friend we have in Jesus...the words to that song are so comforting. Keep smiling, Nathan!!!
