Update on Dad
Well for those of you that don't know--my dad has found out in the last 48 hours that he has cancer. I don't have every detail but here is what I do have. So far, we know that the cancerous tumor is 2 inches in diametre. It is located near his pancreus. He is out of the hospital until Monday when he goes back to City Hospital in Saskatoon for tests to see if the cancer has spread. Some signs show that it might have spread elsewhere but we don't know that. Surgery is scheduled for February 2nd but if the cancer has spread it will not happen. If surgery is viable there is a 20% chance that it will be successful. They would have to remove a lot of his of his pancreus, his gallblader, some of his stomach, and some of his upper bowel. As far as I know the only other option is Chemo-Theropy. Mom has dad on some herbal meds.
God is touching people's lives through this already. Here are some requests for prayer:
1. God's will to be accomplished. Praise Him for allowing us to be used in this situation! All glory goes to God!
2. Monday is when dad goes in for tests to see if the cancer has spread. Please pray about this.
3. Continued peace, comfort, and the needs of Lyle and the Smith Family at this time. Praise God for undertaking in all of these areas.
4. Dad says they have been praying for revival in the church for some time now. This could be the beginnings! Pray for revival in Trinity Baptist Church and area (North Battleford, SK).
5. We have many unsaved family members that are in shock and don't have the hope we cling to, please pray for them.
6. My brother, Kerey, does not know this is going on. Please pray that he would contact us or that we would be able to track him down. He is in South Korea teaching English and we think is in the middle of a house move so he has no phone or internet. We haven't heard from him in 2 weeks.
Thank you so much for your prayers and encouragement. We are relying on God in all of this. We know God is in absolute control over everything and praise Him for this fact! This is all I have for today. Check back for more updates.
