praise and prayer needed!

Dear Family and Friends, Today 6 years ago, our son Dan was diagnosed with a serious cancer, neuroendocrine pancreatic cancer. He has endured much and has come out the other side. Hallelujah! Thank you Lord for your mercy and grace and healing power. After undergoing 10 rounds of chemotherapy there was doubt he would ever be able to have children. On May 22 Abraham Theodore was born to Dan and his wonderful wife Ashley! What an amazing blessing this little one is. Words just do not express the heartfelt gratitude I feel. A week from Monday on July 1, Dan will undergo a procedure at Stanford that will embolize his overactive spleen so that it will hopefully not be gobbling up his white blood cells and platelets anymore. We are humbly asking for your prayers for the success of this procedure. He will be spending at least one night at the hospital. Please pray too that the whole procedure and recovery would be smooth and easy. With a thankful heart that you have been with us as we have traveled this road. Philippians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice! 5 Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near. 6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things. 9 The things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.
