Evan, Della, and I made the trip over to Emory today to get Evan’s staples removed (32 of them) and talk to the doctors and nutritionist. They were very very pleased with how well Evan is doing. We thank God for the answered prayers. They said he can begin doing his IV nutrition every other day and come off of it in about 2 weeks. 

The pathology report indicated that the tumor they removed was mostly low grade, slow growing cells (about 95%) but there were also pockets of high grade, more aggressive growing cells. At this point, they have done all they could do to remove as much cancer as they could, and now we “wait and see”. He will have a scan in 4 months and in the meantime they recommended we find an oncologist here.  

Evan is truly improving day by day- walking more, eating more, gaining weight and strength. He desires to go back to church and worship with God’s people as soon as he can. We love you all dearly and have experienced God’s love tangibly through so many of you. God is using your love and prayers. 



1 Peter 5:10- And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.
