Sharon, our beloved dorm Mom, soccer Mom, and actual Mom, is sick - she was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma in late 2016. Over the last months, she has undergone a number of different treatment protocols. After completing her most recent protocol, although her doctor initially thought she was in remission, her cancer came back aggressively and in different forms. Due to her weakened condition from the recent treatment protocols, she is not able to re-engage the desired conventional protocols available in Taiwan for 3 to 6 months. However, because of the speed with which the cancer is moving, she can't wait for her body to recover to take action. This blog is setup to keep you up to date on how Sharon is doing.

11/14

Dear Friends,

I have many great stories to tell from today but don't have the time to write them up right now.

Sharon got out of ICU last night but has not responded well to the move.     When they began saying she would move yesterday there were no private rooms available.  By the time we moved later in the evening we were placed in the only private room on this floor with a shower.  Wow. God is good.  

That being said times are tough.  I am having James and Mark return tonight.

Please pray for wisdom for us as are having to make some critical decisions.
Please pray for Sharon's breathing, that it will become less labored.
Please pray for a super birthday gift of healing for Sharon for tomorrow November 15th.

There is one amazing praise that I will give us all.   While Sharon's breathing is labored she is in no pain.   Everyone medical person that I speak with I ask, "should she be in pain." Most answer the same,  "most people in this situation would be experiencing some discomfort."  So either God has given Sharon a very high pain tolerance or he is taking away pain that should be there.  Praise Him for his power and protection.

We are safely held in His Might Hand.

Thank you for your vigilance

Terry

    Esther is praying for you earnestly in Taipei, Taiwan:
    It makes my heart ache to know you so painful.
    We all know that in all our distress Lord too was distressed,
    I pray that in His love and mercy He would help you;
    He would lift Sharon and the whole family up and carried you
    all the days of sickness.
    Just as you said,
    You are safely held in His Mighty Hand.
    Amen.

    Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
    Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth, as it is in heaven.
    Give us this day, our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not unto temptation but deliver us from evil.
    For thine is the kingdom, and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
