Greetings to you in the
name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. As you may know, Erin Hope
had another CT scan yesterday at Baptist Hospital. Unfortunately, her
scan was worse. The largest lesion that we have been following is almost
double the size it was just 4 weeks ago. Others have increased in size
and there are some new lesions. We weren't told how many total she has.
Of course, we are disappointed but not discouraged. If anything, we are
more determined and so is she to beat this thing! Thanks for praying.
Please continue to do so.
We have decided on
another treatment regimen and were concerned whether our insurance would pay
for it. This is treatment that she can receive at home and hopefully not
have any hospital stays. It can cause some side effects also that may
require her to be admitted to the hospital but we are praying that she won't
have to. I do have good news to report on the cost of the medication.
I found out today from our hometown pharmacy that the insurance will pay for
the drugs as if they pay for any other medication. What could have
easily been $4000.00 - $6000.00 a month is only going to cost us $40.00.
Praise the Lord!!!
Like I said, we are not
giving up. We believe firmly that the Lord Jesus Christ can and
will heal her. We have a peace that passes all understanding that she
will be healed and grow up to be a mighty testimony for Jesus...unless He
comes first. What about you? Do you for a fact know where you will
be when Jesus comes again or if you died today? What would you tell God,
the heavenly Father, when He asks you, "Why should I let you
into my heaven?" I hope you won't say because you are a
good person or that you gave some money to some charities or that
you 'attended' church some or even all of your life. According to
God's Word, you cannot get into heaven and you will be on the fast track
to Hell. God's Word plainly tells us that the only way to get to
heaven is to believe and confess the Lord Jesus, the holy, righteous Son
of God, as your Lord and Savior and to repent, or turn away from your
sins. If you don't know the answer to these two questions, please click

Thank you so much for
praying for Erin Hope and our family. We love you so much! We will
keep you updated as to her progress after she starts her medication next week.
God bless you!
God is good...ALL the
time!!!
Stand Strong!
