For He Hath Done Great Things

As many of you already know... My father is out of surgery and doing well. He's still in recovery, but in a private room and not ICU like we had anticipated. There was NO cancer in his jaw. None. What was present in his mouth was able to be COMPLETELY removed. God is faithful. God is good. Blessed be the name of the Lord!

I can't stress enough that even though by dad still had to go under the knife, and even though we don't know why God didn't heal him before that, that there IS a reason. Its no coincidence that there was no cancer found in other areas where it was thought to be. There's a reason for everything, and all we should be concerned about now is praising God for what He has done and what He will continue to do. Your prayers as my father recovers are still very much appreciated. There is a long road ahead of us still with chemo and radiation in his near future. My dad's a tough guy, but this is trying on anyone's body and soul. For those of you in the Columbus area, he will be in the hospital for at least a week if you'd like to visit in a few days. My mom is already tired and I would ask you to continue to lift her up in prayer along with the rest of the family. This has been very stressful, and that will not go away any time soon. My dad still will have to learn to talk and swallow again, which is going to be trying time. I will also be in Ohio next week for those of my friends who are wondering... I will be staying until year two of law school commences in mid-August.

Thanks again everyone for your prayers!!! We are forever in your debt for the love and support that each of you have given us. We continue to be appreciative of what I know you will continue to give. Many, many thanks!

For the Mighty One has done great things for me--holy is his name. Luke 1: 49.

  2. Tiffany, you are so right about the long road ahead for recovery and that it was not a coincidence that not more cancer was found. Also, that this is what God has in His perfect plan. The reasons, we do not know: only that He is in control and knows the reason why. It will be revealed to us in His time. Praise the Almighty God!
