San Diego Trip for Nephew - Prayers Please

PLEASE CONTINUE TO PRAY


We have answer to prayers!!!
Eric does not have bone cancer!
This means that his cancer remains at Stage 3 Large Cell Lymphoma. If he had been found to have cancer in his bones, it would have been Stage 4 cancer, but since it is NOT in his bones, it is stage 3. Glory to God! Thank you to everyone who prayed!

Eric had his first chemotherapy treatment yesterday. His energy is really drained and he is nauseous. The doctors are working to get his military orders transferred to San Antonio, Texas for two reasons. One being his mom and brother live there, and the second is that there is a military base there where Eric can take the rest of his chemotherapy treatments while being with his family. The doctors feel this is very important for Eric to be with family during chemotherapy treatment so they are working very hard to get his orders transferred as quickly as possible. We would ask that you not only pray for Eric's health as he is so sick at this time, but also for his military orders - that the doctors are able to get them finalized to San Antonio, Texas. They want to fly him to San Antonio quickly before the next chemotherapy treatment time so that he can get settled into my sisters home.

I may be going home in a few days, but my sister will stay here until Eric leaves which we believe will be very soon. Please continue praying for Eric's cancer, the treatments, and the depression he has that has set in; as well as the military orders to get fixed smoothly and correctly which will help Eric if he can get home to San Antonio and be able to stay with his mother and brother. Blessings to all!

GC - Is Eric a Christian too? I have prayed for Eric and added him to my prayer list. I also pray that he IS a Christian and that his faith is strong... and your sister's as well.

Wow, I haven't stopped by in a while. I didn't realize your nephew had cancer; I'm very sorry. I will say a prayer for him and your family. God's blessings to you and your family.

Our God is great ,
He does things beyond our expectation and moves in , when we least expect Him to,I will pray for Eric, not only for complete healing , but also for strength in his mind as it is the main battle field with which the enemy tries to play and makes us hopeless.
But remember, faith is looking beyond what is seen,even in hopeless times.
Life is a journey and not a destination , therefore Eric keep walking with God, and feel his arms holding you.
