Power of Prayers

For any of you that aren't firm believes in God or you think that he doesn't listen to you when you talk to him let me share this story.

As most of you know we recieved word last week that my stepmom was diagnosed with endometrial hyperplasia-atypia. We were worried, scared, nervous, upset, and I think any emotion one can possibly feel we felt it.

Tuesday morning my stepmom went in @ 6 am to have a D&C. For those of you who aren't familiar with a D&C here is what it is: In D&C, the D stands for dilation, which means enlarging. Curettage (the C) means scraping. Together, this procedure involves expanding or enlarging the entrance of a woman's uterus so that a thin, sharp instrument can scrape or suction away the lining of the uterus and take tissue samples. Most of you are probably thinking I thought they did this when you had a miscarriage and you are right, this is preformed but its also used for other health issues. When the Dr came out and spoke to us he said he got a lot of tissue out (which wasn't a very good sign) but said he would send all samples in to the pathology lab and we should know something Thursday. They would grade the "cancer" in stages from 1 to 3. 1 being she would just need a hysterectomy here in town, 2 & 3 meaning we would be going to see the oncologist in Austin. So off we went and had the dreaded wait.

After 2 LONG & HARD days of worrying today was the day for the news.We sat all today waiting and waiting for the Dr to call us with results from the dnc. (the time was slooooooooooooooooooooow too). Finally and I mean FINALLY because he called around 4:30, the Dr called with results from the pathology lab. I am getting goosebumps as I type this out. The Dr says well D.D................ THERE RESULT IS CLEAR! YES YOU ARE READING THAT RIGHT THE PATHOLOGY CAME BACK NEGATIVE FOR ANYTHING!! My stepmom sat there in shock and said I dont understand what you are saying.... It was just there, all of that was just there 1 week ago. He said D.D I do not know how to explain this, its something I can't explain but you are clear, nothing is there, no oncologist!The pathology results from the biopsy she had showed she had cancer, now its gone. She is COMPLETELY clear. I fell like I can not say it enough, my stepmom was healed!! HOW? I'll tell you how, our praying and your praying paid off & God listened to our prayers.
She will still have the hysterecomy because after this scare she just wants it O-U-T, OUT! AND I dont blame her, heck I would want it out too!! So we went from being scared out of our minds and didn't know what to expect to being the happiest person on the Earth! One thing I do want to say is women please dont skip your yearlt visits. I know its something we all dread, and believe me i DREADED mine with a passion Tuesday but I did it. It could save your life!

I prayed and prayed and prayed to the Lord and others in Heaven to heal my stepmother. I asked her mother, her father, her memaw & pepaw to please take their arms and wrap them around her during this time. Help her, heal her, please do anything to get her through this. I know some of yall prayed for us & I am so THANKFUL for you all, you will never ever know how thankful I am.

So if you are a skeptic in believing in faith and the Lord, I hope this has changed your views, even just a tiny bit.

Psalm 107:19-21

"Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and he saved them from their distress; he sent out his word and healed them, and delivered them from destruction. Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love, for his wonderful works to humankind"

Thank you God, Thank you Todranny, Thank you David, Thank you Memaw, Thank you Pepaw, thank you EVERYBODY who prayed for my family.
