This has been a very eventful year at our house. The
first 6 months were “normal” the past 6, anything but normal. Lynn was
diagnosed with leukemia August 11th. People started praying and we have
seen the Lord answer so many prayers and open so many doors since then.
It started by getting her into MD Anderson for a special trial
treatment, literally overnight. Between 9:30 PM on Thursday until about
9:30 AM Friday, the Lord opened that door. Many people spend weeks
trying to get admitted, but she was admitted by about 3:00 Friday
afternoon.
That treatment brought her to CR-1, or complete remission, 1st treatment. She has since been in a maintenance program until a stem cell transplant can be done. We found out last week that one of her brothers is a perfect match for the transplant, so we are meeting with the transplant doctor in San Antonio this week to determine a schedule.
We are so grateful to Hillcrest for the extensive support you have given us during this time. Hopefully in another few months she will be cured. We are also very grateful for the insurance the church provides. Our provider has now paid out about $600,000.00 with more to come. Thank you Hillcrest!! Merry Christmas!!
Reminder: if you are mailing end-of-the-year giving, please make sure it is postmarked by Dec. 31st so we can properly apply it to 2015. Also, you can now donate from an IRA to a charity. You will not be taxed on the distribution and it will count toward your Required Minimum Distribution.
