Journal entry by Julie Pruitt-Gann —
Brad has been laying pretty low the past 2 weeks as the doctor wanted his body to "wash out" the chemo in preparation for the upcoming third round of chemo. This third round of chemo is a clinical trial and Brad will be THE FIRST PATIENT to receive it. We are praying that it will be a MIRACULOUS round and will help save thousands of lives at the same time. The chemo treatment will consist of 4 hours of intravenous intake, one day a week for 4 weeks. Tomorrow, he will begin pre-chemo procedures to include a bone density scan, blood draws, dressing changes, doctor visits, and research team visits. He has another bone marrow biopsy on Friday morning and chemo to begin on Tuesday, November 9th.
THANK YOU for all of the daily cards, messages, phone calls, gift cards, donations, and prayers sent our way. We are eternally grateful for all of our friends and family that have been walking this journey with us for the past 9 weeks. We did create some t-shirts for anyone wanting to show their support for Brad. If you want to place your order, you can click here.
We will continue to update you all through this next round of chemo. Again, thank you so much for all the support you've shown to our family. Words are not enough to express our gratitude.
WORSHIP SONG FOR TODAY: Won't Stop Now by Elevation Worship
LYRICS:
For all You've brought me through
And now I'm ready
For whatever You want to do
To follow after You
And now I'm ready
For whatever You want to do
Is an open door
We want You Lord like never before
Is an open door
So come now Lord, like never before
Your grace has been enough
And I'm believing
The best is yet to come
My hope on things above
And in You Jesus
The best is yet to come
Is an open door
We want You Lord like never before
Is an open door
So come now Lord, like never before
By faith I see a miracle
My God made me a promise
And it won't stop now
By faith I see a miracle
My God made me a promise
And it won't stop now
By faith I see a miracle
My God made me a promise
And it won't stop now
By faith I see a miracle
My God made me a promise
And it won't stop now (won't stop now)
Is an open door
We want You Lord like never before
Is an open door
So come now Lord like never before
Oh Jesus
Come on, fill the room with praise
Set off the atmosphere
Shift it with your faith now
We welcomed and appraised Jesus
Name above all
We believe for greater things
Nothing is too hard for you, Lord
Come on
By faith I see a miracle (come on, start)
My God made me a promise
And it won't stop now
Oh I feel it risin'
By faith I see a miracle (yes)
My God made me a promise
And it won't stop now
By faith I see a miracle
My God made me a promise
And it won't stop now (sing it one more time)
By faith I see a miracle
My God made me a promise
And it won't stop now
And you know all things are possible with God
