Update on Mom

As most of those who are probably reading this already know, my mom is at a clinic in West Palm Beach, Florida getting treatment for ovarian cancer. I thought that I would give a quick update on how she is doing.
She is going through a Living Foods program where all she eats are raw veggies and sprouts. She also drinks wheatgrass juice and stuff like that. It is naturopathic therapy that she is receiving. Basically the whole point is to build the bodies immune system so that the body can heal itself of the cancer because we do have self healing bodies.
So far things have been going well. We won't be able to find out how the cancer is actually porgressing till they come home this coming Monday and we take her to have a scan, but she is doing ok.
The only real problem has been with a fluid build up in her stomache that is a result of the cancer. Tomorrow she is going to get her stomache drained of the fluid. The fluid has been causing her some discomfort, especially at night which has affected her sleep.
So since we do not know what kind of an impact these treatments are having on the cancer all we can do is pray and trust the Lord that he will take care of her.
I believe that the Lord is going to work through this and heal my mom completely. But I also have to understand that it might be His perfect will for the cancer to stay. If that is the case I just need to trust God that he knows what is best for mom and that he is going to take care of her no matter what.
My request to all who may read this is that you pray for my mom in a special way. Pray that the Lord's perfect will will be done in this situation and that he would help my family to continue to trust Him for whatever the outcome.
Thank you to all who have been and will be praying! It means so very very much to me and my family!

We will be praying for you and your family during this "God ordained" time. I can't imagine how difficult it must be for you.
