Ephesians 4:20 and 21a

"Now glory be to God who by His mighty power at work within us is able to do far more than we would ever dare to ask or even dream of--infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts or hopes. May He be given glory FOREVER...."
THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRAYERS. CELEBRATING LIFE with so many of you the other day was so WONDERFUL!!! Interesting how after Praising God publicly my platelets dropped from 52,000 to 14,000....but this gets more interesting...I received a phone call from City of Hope telling me that they have identified a strong potential donor (a 43 year old female, from outside the United States) and they are contacting her to complete all the physical testing needed...God's timing.....I am to be scheduled to redo all of my physical tests the week of September 21st, with the tentative inpatient admission on the 28th to begin chemo, etc. and transplant October 6....it all depends on the donor's availability and physical results......so again, we ask you to pray for the right decisions and God's peace....truly, we wait upon the Lord! By the way, please pray for Bill, he will be traveling to his Dad's Sept 9-19 to reacclaimate him back home, set up physical therapy and home care; for those of you who don't know, his Dad had emergency brain surgery on August 18 (apparently he fell twice on concrete in the Spring injuring his head, but didn't get checked out, and on the 18th he had trouble speaking, was taken to the hospital where CT scan showed he had "old" blood and swelling of the brain; then a second surgery on the 25th; all seems to be fine now just needs physical rehab and time to heal). Abbey begins school on the 8th; her last year of middle school and we need to apply to high schools. My brother, Richard, had a positive biopsy for prostate cancer and will have a CT scan on the 22nd before treatment will be decided......our family has LOTS going on, but GOD IS FAITHFUL and WE WAIT UPON HIM!!! Thank you for your prayers!!!
