We received excellent news today!! Ruby had another round of scans on Thursday and they showed that her 3 and a half small spots on her liver were now reduced to 2!! The 2 remaining have also shrunk!! Dr. Alzein couldn't deny that God has been working in Ruby's chubby, little body. We are all very pleased, relieved, and thankful to our great God!! Being back in the hospital yesterday brought back a flood of memories from the "drama" of last spring. I realized that the results of the scans could be horrifying or awesome. I had a little emotional moment when they took Ruby in to get the CT scan. Normally, they allow the parents of a minor to accompany their child, but for some reason they didn't allow it yesterday. I just wasn't prepared for that and it made me uneasy. But, the peace of God passes all understanding. His Word and promises are the ultimate comfort, but it also comforted me to know that even if the results were not good, I still had all of your love and support to help bear the burden. I can't tell you all how much it means to know that in times of life's trials and uncertainties, we have the love of our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ to help bear the weight of sadness. All of your love and prayers have made this experience so much more "do-able." I am thanking God most of all today, but I am also indebted to all of you for your outpouring of love and concern.
