Keith's Cancer is Back

Keith had a CT scan on Friday, and his cancer is back. The scan showed that the cancer is in his spleen, liver and hip bone. He is going to have an MRI and a bone scan today. We will meet with the oncologist on Tuesday. The prognosis is not good as you can probably imagine.

We are begging for your prayers! We know that God can heal Keith completely. We are praying that the scans that Keith does today will be clean of any cancer. If this is not God's will, we are praying that God will reveal a treatment option.

I am going to try to be very specific about our prayer requests. Right now, we need you to pray for the following things:
-Keith's scans- We are praying that they will show no cancer, and that this will enable us to share our faith with the doctors.
-Stephanie's doctor's appointment- Pray that Lincoln is still doing okay. I know that all this stress can't be good for him. I am also going to talk to the doctor about the possibility of taking him early.
-the oncologist appointment on Tuesday- First and foremost, we are praying that he will be able to offer hope. Both of us are scared that he will just send us home with no treatment options. Pray for Dr. Mennal to have wisdom and that God will grant him the knowledge to help Keith in the best way possible.
-restful sleep-Neither one of us are sleeping very well right now.
-Please pray that Keith will remain hopeful about his future.

I think that is all for now. I am going to do my best to update as often as possible.
