Dr. Brunsting came in late Thursday afternoon to give us the results of all my son, Mike's, tests that we had anxiously awaited. He said that he has a very rare, fast growing type of cancer and there was nothing else that could be done that he had SIX MONTHS or so left to live. He told Mike that he was releasing him from the hospital Friday morning to go home and spend his time with the family. The trip home from UAB Hospital, Birmingham almost killed him but he has rested and recovered from it.

How can that be? Mike has had no symptoms and worked every day until he began having chest pains during that night. WHY HIM? This is the hardest thing I have ever had to face in all my life and I still can't sort out my thoughts.

He told me Friday night to keep praying or he would soon be 'done.' God's work is great and is excellent in all ways and supercedes the works of man's hands. I am not going to stop praying because the doctor said the word "cancer." I know people who have beaten it and I believe that Mike will, too.

Please keep praying for him. Thanks a million.
