Yesterday we went to St. Luke's Meridian hospital for two MRI's; one on the brain, and the other one on the spine. The MRI on the spine was to rule out any metastases on the spine. We received a phone call around 4:00 p.m. from Dr. Manning with the results. The MRI of the spine was clear of any cancer. The MRI of the brain showed metastases from the colon/rectal cancer. The MRI also showed it is located more toward the back of the brain rather than the right temporal area. The MRI also showed swelling of the tumor and this has been causing the excruciating pain and sleepless nights. Dr. Manning prescribed a steroid to address the swelling and I am expected to feel much better within 48 hours. I am definitely looking forward to feeling better and getting some much needed rest.
While we were also at the hospital, we saw the Lord going before us as I was supposed to go down to St. Luke's Boise for my pre-op; but the young lady registering me asked if I would like to have her check to see if all of it could be done in Meridian to save us an additional trip. It was and we are very thankful that the blood work, EKG, EEG, and chest x-ray were all completed at St. Luke's Meridian for the pre-op.
At the tomb of Lazarus, before He raised His friend from the dead, Jesus proclaimed: “I am the Resurrection and the Life; he who believes in Me shall live even if he dies, and everyone who lives and believes in Me shall never die.” John 11:25-26

Praise the Lord, it was great to see and talk to Doug in person on Thursday morning. Though the physical body is not well Dougs spiritual body shines through the darkness. His peace is truly the peace that is granted by the presents of the Holy Spirit.
