PTL!!

We celebrate the big things and the small things and today was definitely a big thing! Braden's lymph nodes that were removed on Tuesday came back clean! We are feeling so confident going into our appointment next week with Dr. Reddy, our oncologist. Prayers answered!!

Today I had a long talk on the phone with my mom who always says the right things. Braden and I have these moments of pure joy...like today. Today was great and for awhile we felt like the weight of the world was lifted! But then these moments of pure panic, fear, anxiety and doubt about our future come flooding back. Melanoma is scary. It's aggressive and unpredictable. It is easy to give way to fear. But we pray continually and God is continually reminding us that when we give him our fear he takes it from us and gives us peace. God's grace is sufficient as several people have been reminding me. In our weakness God shows us that he is in control of all situations.

We have a very specific prayer request going into our appointment next week to discuss treatment plans. We are praying that Braden gets on the clinical trial I have mentioned with a newer drug called Yervoy. We are asking that you will lift this up in prayer for us. Thank you!!
