Prayer Request

Hello All,

I have a special prayer request. Our oldest son Josh has been diagnosed with adenocarcinoma. He has a large tumor at the base of his esophagus where it enters the stomach. It has begun to spread into his lymphatic system and the prognosis is terminal.

He started chemo-therapy last week via a pump system hooked to a pic line in his chest. He is going to U of M next week for further tests and a surgical review with his oncologist in Ionia.

There is hope, but at the same time we are being realistic as a family that time is probably short. We lost his Dad three years ago and this is a hard reminder that life is short and we need to cherish each day God gives us together and live life to its fullest.

Josh was diagnosed just a few weeks ago after having difficult symtoms since early last summer. His local doc has not been very responsive and he is getting fantastic help in Ionia with close coordination with U of M.

We covet your thoughts and prayers.
Nan & Steve
