Greatest Kindness

Jan 24, 2006 Hello All, I now know what CJ (one of the pastors at Cov Life) means when he says that the greatest kindness you can do for someone is to pray for them~ especially in their time of need. Our family has been bathed in prayers. So once again thanks for your emails and prayers they have been a great source of comfort and encouragement particularly last night. We had an emotional day as we received the results from pathology. Dr. Packer (the most renowned doc in this field in our country) said Micah has a very rare, aggressive brain tumor called Atypical Teritoid Rhabdoip Tumor (better know as ATRT), there about 50-60 children in US that have it and as we heard the news are hearts broke with sadness for our son and the long journey ahead. We have cried, we have prayed, and I am sure we will do both alot more. This cancer is not able to be treated with chemo alone so they will add another drug to the treatment called Methotrexate. They have been having some success with this drug. We are trying not to focus on the odds or the ifs but rather continue to turn to the Lord. We are still praying for a miracle but are trusting in strength from the Lord for whatever the road ahead has. Today we also got to hold our little chunk for a long time; it was wonderful. We read books (over, over and over again) sang, watched cartoons and tried to comfort him- he doesn't like any tubes in at all! We are at home for the evening and have been enjoying spending time with Braet. Tomorrow Micah will have a sonogram to make sure the tumor isn't in his kidney's (which is common with this type of cancer) so we would covet your continued prayers for our little boy. With Much Thanks & Appreciation Love You All, Luke & Kriscinda, Braeton, Micah and Baby Davis "When tears are great and comforts few We hope in mercies ever new We trust in You" song- God Moves
