Chemo Finished Tomorrow?

God willing Christen will return home from her last chemotherapy treatment sometime tomorrow. We have seen God's hand at work through these difficult trials. We have been so amazed to see how He has sustained us thus far. Christen has been such an amazing trooper, going through so many difficult things with such an awesome attitude. She has been an amazing example to each of us of enduring trials with grace and peace, while maintaining a deep sense of trust in God, and without complaint. We know that it is because has been answering your many prayers. He _has_ heard, and He _has_ answered. He hasn't yet given us a clear sense of being free from cancer, but He has given us much grace through the trial. We will have to trust Him for working all of this for Christens good in His own perfect timing.

Thank you so much for all the prayer and support. The journey isn't over yet. We will be taking another trip to Philadelphia in October and then the week following we will be in Houston to consult with a Dr. about possible further treatment with a yet unreleased drug. Please pray for us as we seek to do what is best for Christen, that we will make wise decisions after carefully weighing the options and possibilities.

Steve and Debbie for the family.
