Those who live in the shelter of the Most High
will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty. This I declare about the LORD:
He alone is my refuge, my place of safety;
he is my God, and I trust him. For he will rescue you from every trap
and protect you from deadly disease. He will cover you with his feathers.
He will shelter you with his wings.
His faithful promises are your armor and protection. (Psalm 91:1-4 NLT)
The Lord is good, a strong refuge when trouble comes. He is close to those who trust in him. -Nahum 1:7
Daisy’s surgery to resect her third cancerous tumor in as many years is today at 10:30 a.m. PST in our hometown of Santa Barbara, CA. The tumor is sitting where her last two were and is the size of a golfball. It is apparently connected to the spleen and part of her bowel.
An important prayer request right now is that the surgeon is able to remove the whole tumor without having to take any of the spleen and/or bowel.
The bigger prayer is that the tumor would end up being non-cancerous—which would be a miracle. If it is cancerous we will pray for a favorable histology; which would mean it is not the worst and most aggressive and treatment-resistant sort of cancer.
Thank you for all your prayers and support. We love and value you all.

Our family is so thankful for everyone’s love, support and prayers. Thank you. Enjoying Jesus in the midst of it all. Love.
The miracle we were praying for didn’t happen. The tumor is still there and it doesn’t look good. Next week = surgery. Please keep praying and believing God for a miracle! He is the author of LIFE!
Not sure how to say this guys…
My daughter Daisy (7) had a CAT scan yesterday. Her cancer has returned. 3rd time being diagnosed with cancer in as many years.
She has a golf ball size tumor right where her last one was.
This morning at 10:45AM she gets a PET scan to look closer and see if its anywhere else and in prep for surgery next week. Then we’ll see how to proceed.
Our current hope is that we rally prayer and when they do the PET scan the tumor is miraculously gone or non-cancerous.
The oncologist says for the tumor to not be cancer would be basically a miracle.
We believe in miracles… we believe in Jesus.
Daisy has a scan this morning. Strange, we’ll either be celebrating or weeping tonight. Either way, we trust Jesus.
For the first time in 2 years Daisy is gaining weight!! She has fluctuated between 36 and 42 pounds for the last two years, depending on how sick she was and the difficulty of her treatments, etc. She was 42 pounds when she was first diagnised with a stage 3 Wilm’s tumor at the age of 5. She is now 7, and today she weighed in at 46 pounds!!! Thank you Jesus!!!
