Hello everyone.  Just wanted to inform you of some last minute updates.  As a result of a consultation the doctors had at the ITC clinic in Mexico, they concluded it would be best for Livia if she came to Mexico to get a procedure done called Mononuclear Cell Activation (MCA).  The results from last weeks PET scan showed this would be the optimal time to perform this procedure.  So after prayer and careful consideration we accepted the doctors recommendation and made our travel arrangements.  Lord willing, we are scheduled to travel to Tijuana Mexico tomorrow for a duration of 7 days.  We hope we can attend Tecate Church on Sunday.  

At this time we really don't know a lot about this MCA procedure, even after the doctor explained it multiple times.  I hope to gain a better understanding and explain it in basic terms in the near future.   We do know that Livia will be at the clinic for 6 hours per day to prepare for the procedure while undergoing detox therapies.  The procedure will be performed after four days of preparation, so on Tuesday next week.

We are thankful to God for his goodness and many blessings.  Also thankful that we had multiple families offer to watch our two youngest boys during our absence.  And, that my boss at work is so very flexible and understanding for letting me take this time away from the office with such short notice.

Please do continue to pray for us, specifically for 1. safe travels 2. God would bless the procedure and it will be effective 3. Livia would be spared of any negative reactions so we can visit Tecate on Sunday.

O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: because his mercy endureth for ever Psalm 118
