Fragile, but still going strong

I realize more each day just how fragile Jeseca is, and how amazing it is that she is still alive. I am also witness to the awesome power of God and His flawless love for us.

I have spent the past 48 hours wondering if Jeseca was nearing the end. Last night was the worst night we've had, with Jeseca lying in agony on her back and sides, and literally not breathing for short amounts of time. We spent eight hours today at the doctor's office/emergency room trying to find out why she is in so much pain. The tumors in her liver are causing inflammation to the outer wall of the liver; cramping her right diaphragm, and causing shortness of breath and sharp, stabbing pain with every inhalation. Thankfully, our oncologist prescribed an anti-inflammatory/pain killer that we believe will help her get some sleep.

Here's what's amazing about God, though. Cancer covers nearly 75% of her liver, yet today's blood results showed her liver is functioning perfectly. How can you explain that other than God's hand is upon her, sustaining her, holding her tightly in His right hand and preparing her for another day? You can't. There is no other explanation.

God is simply great. He's awesome. Cool. Wonderful. Fantastic, trustworthy and wholeheartedly in love with my wife. And He will keep His promise. God is "the bomb."
