A Year Later

Praising the LORD for the privilege of posting our family picture in completeness a year after we headed to Mexico for Fred's cancer treatments! Giving glory to HIS name that Reuben has confessed his need of JESUS! Other exciting news....Sophie's to become a big sister in June!  =)

2nd Check-Up = Good Report!

We have been to Mexico and back.  Just got the results from the bloodwork this week, no active cancer!  We are very thankful and continue to live in the moment, thanking the Lord for each one!  We are blessed!

We appreciate your every prayer and thank you for checking the blog.  Sorry we didn't get a post in while in Mexico!  Then after we returned home it took a while to make connection with the Doc which is the way it goes sometimes.

We also want to praise the Lord for HIS providence in regards to the insurance company.  We would have been covered 100% if we had went with the traditional US treatment, but were told it was highly unlikely that they would cover our expenses in Mexico, even though it was miniscule compared to the cost we would have incurred here.  Fred went ahead and sent in the paperwork with a request that they would consider paying on our expenses.  This week we received a check from the insurance company that was more generous than what we had hoped for!  While it doesn't cover all the expenses, we have been blessed!

Great Report from Mexico!

We're down in Mexico for a routine check-up, we leave today around 10 AM.  Dr. Rubio saw Fred yesterday and reported that he is in complete remission, no live cancer cells in his blood!  We are very thankful....to GOD for HIS power and will in our lives to heal Fred.... to Dr. Rubio and his son Jr. for their mission to work with your body to bring about restoration of health....to each one of you for your thoughts, prayers, and support as we walk this path... a journey by faith in HIS perfect love !!!

We will be going home without the central line (yeah!) but with several different injections to be done weekly until we return for our visit in April.

So until further change of events I will leave you with these words of praise from the WORD~
Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, unto him be glory in the church by CHRIST JESUS throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.  Ephesians 3:20,21

BEFORE AND AFTER PHOTO

Well, I'm finally getting around to posting this pic!  Life has been going at a pretty fast pace and thankfully Fred is not having any trouble keeping up!  All continues to go well.  We are scheduled to return to Mexico for a check-up the 24-26th of this month.  I will probably post an update after that visit.
We're living in the moment! ...Thanks for your support!

HOME!

We arrived home last night around 6:30 pm.  It felt soooo good! =)

We've already completed our first day with pills, dressing change, detox bath, central line maintenance, detox cabbage poultice, and to top it all off..... Fred put in a full days work!!!  He feels good and is glad to get back to the farm!

We expect the weeks until our return visit to Mexico to pass uneventfully.  I will update if there is any change to that.

Again, we thank God for His healing and your prayers!  And know that he is abundantly able to bless each one of you for your support!

Plane Tickets Are Bought!

We are pretty excited to let you all know that we have purchased our plane tickets for HOME!  Dr. Rubio evaluated the CT scan and Ultrasound that was done on Fred today and said the tumor is 99% gone!  He has Fred scheduled for two more sessions of radiation (Friday & Monday), recuperating on Tuesday and flying home on Wednesday!
Thanking the Lord for His healing and your prayers! 

San Diego Weekends

We so appreciate the generous spirit of our dear friends, the Fulop's.  We crossed over the border early Saturday afternoon and were wisked away to Mount Soledad, a high pinnacle that gives a 360 degree view of the surrounding area.  Then we traveled down to the beach at La Jolla, taking in the ocean breezes before heading off to Henry's Farmers Market for a few groceries and then to their home for a delicious home cooked meal.  We enjoy the time spent with their children too, and appreciate them sharing their hugs, bed & tangerines!

This week Fred should finish with the last session of radiation on Wednesday.  He commented today how he noticed the way it takes him down a notch and is thankful that he only gets 10% of a typical dosage.  Still not having any hair loss or nausea, and here's the really great news....Dr said today that it's at least 90% dissolved, we can hardly see it!

I took the picture above at the Fulop's last Sunday looking out over the valley below their home.  We are so awed my the mighty hand of God as we see the beauty of His creation.  Then we think of His care for us and praise Him for the healing He has brought about in Fred's body!  Indeed we are fearfully and wonderfully made!

Thanking each one for your continued prayers as he finishes the radiation this week and await the results from the scan/tests the Dr. will do to determine where we go from here.
