Coming up for air

We just returned from the doctor's appointment and the results of the CT scan. Glen feels like he came up for fresh air. I feel full of thanks to my Father in Heaven. I consider this a tender mercy and an answer to our prayers. Not only had the thumb size growth on Glen's kidney not grown any larger, it no longer had its own blood source. Thus, no need for surgery at the present time and it no longer appears cancerous. They will do another CT scan in a year to monitor things.

Glen feels like a dark cloud has lifted, one he has been been under since last August. As we entered the doctor's office this morning, we walked past a young man in a wheelchair, hair gone with the puffy face of one fighting cancer and his father following behind for support. I thought, "Oh please, don't let that be us in six months." It was so sobering and sad. And then Glen's doctor bounced into our examining room, "It's all GOOD news!" Good news that let Glen know he is back in the swim. I won't ever again make fun of him when he snorkels in the pool :)

Thank you everyone for your moral support and prayers as well!
