The family

I had the D&C on Monday afternoon. The oncologist had told Jason there was no growth so pathology would be examine the sample at micro level for pre cancer or cancer.
So that was hopeful news. I still had to remain on the medicine until he told us otherwise.
Last night I had trouble sleeping and was praying a ton again.
Through this process I have had so many people praying for us, and I even called the 700 club for prayer as well. I have been on a diet that has almost completely eliminated any added hormones to all meat and all dairy-per the Drs instructions. I have also been taking my doTeRRa daily vitamins as well as their DDR prime which targets cell repair and restores healthy cell growth.

I was at work today and about to let all the parents in the door as we were preparing for our Christmas performance and pot luck- so I was all over the place.

She said that the results showed no growth and no sign of cancer or precancer cells. She proceeded to tell me I can stop the medicine and we can proceed to try and grow our family. She said in 6 months if you have not conceived, you will come back in for an appointment with the oncologist.

Some of the best words were- "stop taking the meds and start taking prenatal vitamins!"

Praise the Lord!!! God has chosen to bless us with this complete healing!!! We do not know if his answer is yes to have more biological children yet, but we've made it this far through a lot of prayer and lifestyle choices and we are excited to see what the future may hold for our family.
Thank you for the concerns, prayers, motovational verses and for your continued prayers as we continue to the next phase of this journey.

I will be updating a few more times as we move forward in this part of our journey.
Today we met with the oncologist and the brief visit was positive and he said all my physical responses to the medicine were all very good signs.
The D&C is scheduled for Monday and he said we will have the results by Thursday (one day before my birthday!).
I have to remain on the medicine until he tells me I can stop- assuming probably until at least Thursday after we have the results of the d&c.

Keep praying for complete healing!

Tomorrow (Tuesday, December 8th) we will be going back to the oncologist for a consultation and to schedule the d&c. I haven't gotten much sleep as it has been a long 111 days prepping for this next phase. I honestly do not know what to pray at this point. I know God has already written the story and that he can, if not already, 100% heal my body. However, that may not be his plan and I have to be ok with that. I know God doesn't ever want to hold back blessings from his children, but I also know reality and that God doesn't always give us the desires of our heart the way we think- he gives us what we need and in accordance to his will. I want to be super hopeful and I do have faith that he can heal me, but I also know that may not be Gods plan. So I am conflicted right now. I am basically saying ok God. You've got this- nothing I can do, or have done will change your all ready set plan for our family. I long, as most wives do, to grow our family- to have another pregnancy. But I am also prepared to let that it go- super hard, but ready. "Lord, here are my open hands. I am releasing control and desires to your will. I am not in control. I have been a steward of the task at hand and now trusting in you as my provider, comforter, great physician, and Lord of the details."

Please please pray for us Tuesday morning and the next few weeks as we go through this process.
Thank you. I will update as soon as we know more.
