STILL Cancer FREE

Well, I don't know if anyone ever comes to the blog anymore since it's been so long, but thought we would post an update anyway!

Ben just got back yesterday from MD Anderson...still Cancer FREE!! Thank you, Jesus!! They saw something in his galbladder and asked if he was in any pain (assuming it might be a gallstone). He's not in any pain. Anyway, doc wants him to have an ultrasound soon to check on that. However, no cancer! Thank you, Lord!!

Ben has started a new job! It's so perfect for him. Ben has decided against dental school for the time being. He felt the Lord leading him in another direction and it's been amazing to watch. He works for Northwestern Mutual as a Financial Rep.

He said all along with dentistry that he loved it because of the relationships and the fact that he felt like he was touching lives (one smile at a time)! However, this new position allows him to develop relationships, but he's able to affect family trees rather than just smiles. So, he is seeing the long-term impact and loving it!!

We have also told our agency that we need to wait an extra month on the referral. Referrals should begin coming in within the next few days, but we haven't had the opportunity to save up everything we need to say yes or even finish filling out applications for grants. We really want to get to the bottom of whatever this is with my health before we say yes to anything, as well. So, a July referral might be more likely.

Thank you for those of you that are still checking the blog! We sure appreciate your prayers.
