Carolyn and I were married 15 years ago, in May 1992. Wow. I’m more in love with her today than ever. I truly married and still enjoy the companionship of my best friend. Our home is one of playfulness, laughter and endless surprise. We’re deeply imperfect, blessed people.
The first few months of our marriage [...]
Biopsy results…
Posted By Jeff on November 11th, 2008
Carolyn got a call from the doctor’s office this afternoon to give us the results of the biopsy from Friday. He said, “I’ve got bad news…” Of course, no one wants to hear that after a biopsy.
Then he related that there had been a mistake made and the biopsy had been put in the “wrong pink solution” and so we will have to try again. He was very apologetic – appropriately so, and we are certainly accepting of his apology.
He said that we have two options… One is to do another needle biopsy. We’re not in favor of that simply because we are not confident in needle biopsy results (we’ve had negative positives before). The second option involves taking one of the lymph nodes for a whole biopsy when they do the lumpectomy of the spot that is in her breast.
We are choosing the second option at this point since that will be conclusive. It will involve general anesthesia, so they’ll have to put her under.
We’ll have to schedule that and then let you know from there. Just wanted to shoot everyone an update. The waiting game continues…
The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might He increases strength. Even youths will shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint. (Isaiah 40.28-31)
It has been a great wait so far, if I can say that. We have definitely experienced God’s peace and provision over the weekend. We’ve been able to spend time with great friends, including our church family, and our church renewal gatherings have fallen at a wonderful time.
We’d appreciate your continued prayers…
On this day...

Ugh. That is terrible.
I will continue to pray for Caro as she plays the waiting game… I am glad you guys are doing the other method to test though, because as I am sure you remember, my dad got a clean bill of health (clean blood tests) in March while he was actually extremely sick with his second recurrence of cancer.
PRAYING HARD!!!!

Oh, I love technology!
I do think it was a blessing, in a weird way, that Carolyn got to go to TX and just enjoy herself.. rather than knowing for sure what’s going on, be it bad results.
We are all praying faithfully for you all!
