The last three months have been a bit challenging for my family. In March, I returned to the US for -what I thought would be- a week of speaking engagements; however, things turned out quite differently. While in the States, my mother’s doctors discovered a cancerous mass in her body. In March 2006, she was diagnosed with a blood cancer called “Multiple Myeloma” and unfortunately the same disease had returned. The doctors initially thought three weeks of radiation would end the growth of the mass, but the cancer continued to spread causing kidney failure, a loss of sight in her right eye and an inability to walk. In an effort to reverse the progress of the cancer, the doctors implemented a rigorous treatment schedule of chemotherapy and radiation.
I remained in the US to be with my mother during this challenging ordeal. . . and I PRAISE GOD that my mother’s kidney function has been recovered, much of her vision has been restored and she is now able to walk again! My family has truly witnessed a miracle! Although there is still a long road to a “full recovery,” we stand in awe of what God has already done! We are so grateful for all of the thoughts and prayers sent our way which brought strength and healing.
