For those of you who have been praying for my daddy... we received the first good report regarding his cancer since we first received the news of it two years ago.
Let me give a little background... each time my dad has had any urine/blood lab work done, his protein counts have increased... actually they've more than doubled every 3-4 months. First counts came in around 150, then jumped to 400's, then 800's, 1600's, then at the end of this past March, his counts measured just over 3900. Once your protein counts reach the 4,000's, your kidneys begin to be in more danger, and his were on track to hit the 8,000's.
So back in mid-May, my dad went under the care of a doctor in Florence, Alabama who placed him on a 60 day fresh vegetable/fruit juicing fast along with some other cleansing routines. Long story short... when protein counts are anticipated to be in the 8,000's, and they come in only just over 4200, I think we've got something to sing about. :) (or cry about... whichever hits you at the moment.)
Thanks to everyone who've lifted him up in prayer... continue to pray that the Lord will allow him to continue to receive this kind of news and that ultimately healing would take place!

Heather, is your dad seeing Dr Larry Rawdon?
He is my best friend's father. You couldn't have picked a better guy for the job. Not only is he brilliant at what he does, he has an amazing heart for God. Two things that definitely help when you are doing his line of work.
