Special Prayer Request for Grandma

I have a special prayer request that I would like for all my prayer warrior buddies to be praying about. As many of you know, from previous posts (at my old webpage) that Jer's Grandma has cancer in her liver. This has just been to our knowledge within the past several months. After doing several biopsies and tests, they have not discovered cancer anywhere else, but of course that does not mean there isn't any. They only found it in the liver, but most of the time, it does not originate in the liver, it usually starts somewhere else. Surgery is out of the question, with her being in her 80's, she is just not strong enough to survive a liver transplant. So, her options are: a) to wait it out....she could live another year, she could live a month-- doctors have no way of knowing. Or, b) to do chemotherapy, to try to kill the cancer. After Grandma thought about it, she decided to do chemo. Her first treatment is tomorrow. (Wed. July 9th) Please pray!!! I believe she is suppose to be at the hospital around 10:30AM or so, with chemo beginning around 11 or noon (central time) and it will last about 5 hours, and then she will be sent home. And then do the same thing again in 21 days. Please pray for Grandma H! She is such a strong, solid rock in our family and is absolutely amazing in her 'geunine-ness', if there is a such thing. She loves the Lord with her whole heart, and I have no doubt she is in Jesus' hands this whole time. Please pray.....

• for Grandma. For strength, wellness, for her not to be nauseaus or sick.


• for the doctors. To know what is best for her, and to make the best decisions possible.


• for Grandpa. For strength- to take care of Grandma - even though he is not in the best of shape after undergoing open heart surgery a couple years ago.


• for the family- Grandma's 3 sons especially. For courage, strength, wisdom.


• for Jeremy & myself. To help us understand that what Grandma needs most right now is prayer. But to be able to help in whatever other way possible if they need us.

Grandma and Grandpa have both always been in tip-top shape, until the last couple of years. And they are both extremely independent and do not like bothering others, asking for things. So this has been an especially difficult time for them. But I know, there is nothing wrong with asking for prayer!!!!

Psalm 30:2O LORD my God, I called to you for help and you healed me.

James 5:15And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven.

Psalm 115:11You who fear him, trust in the LORD— he is their help and shield.

Isaiah 12:2Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. The LORD, the LORD, is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation."
