I was saddened to hear the news of Sis. Janiver Brown passing early this morning! Yet, we rejoice because she has entered into paradise! Our prayers go out to Bro. Clayton Brown, his family and the church in Napa! May God's comfort envelop you and His strength sustain you! We love you all!
Bro. Foster is now back in his room. He had surgery today! The doctors found that the mass was much smaller than first diagnosed. (Go God Go) It was causing a blockage and therefore causing the pain. They are waiting for the pathology report to determine his recovery treatment. If it was 1st or 2nd stage cancer, then there will be no chemo or radiation. If it was 3rd or 4th stage cancer, then chemo or radiation is required. Thank you all for your prayers. They made a difference. He was talking with Gayla and his parents when we called. God is good!
Tom was rushed to the ER tonight as he was in severe pain. They are giving him pain medication through an IV. X-rays determined that the mass was the cause of his pain and it may cause them to operate sooner than his January 8th scheduled surgery. Thank you for your continued prayer for him and the family! He should be able to rest tonight. They have admitted him and will be there until they operate.
Tom's surgery is scheduled for Friday, January 8th @ 7:00 a.m. We covet your prayers!
If you haven't already heard, Tom's surgery was postponed for two weeks. He was given another test on Tuesday to check for other issues in his body. Results of the test will take two weeks. We are believing God! We are planning to go to Dallas on Christmas day and spend the day with them. Thank you again for all the prayers, texts, emails and phone calls.
Surgery is looking like it will take place on Tuesday, Dec. 22nd. Thank you for all your concern and prayers through FB, Emails, and Texts.
The biopsy came back positive. It's cancer. Don't know what kind yet. Preparations are being made for surgery. Radical or Non-radical. He is taking another CT Scan before they decide how to deal with the mass. Appreciate your prayers as he goes through this situation! God is good!
