late update

UPDATE - Tue. 10pm: Mom has been officially diagnosed with acute myolegenous leukemia (AML), and will begin a week long, around-the-clock chemo regimen either Wed. or Thu., which kills all of the leukemia cells about 70% of the time. Even if the chemo regimen works, other treatment options will need to follow to keep the leukemia at bay, and those options are yet to be determined at this time.

Jon,
My heart is broken today for your mom. We have been praying daily for your healing. Praise the Lord for your good report. But now your mom...please give her our love. We will mention her in prayer meeting here at Shepherds [like we did for you] today. Hundreds will be lifting her up in prayer! Our thoughts and prayers are with you daily. Nancy Amstutz
