Thank you for every prayer you have uttered on behalf of Ross. God is moving us right along on this journey. This bend in our road.
Ross came through the neck dissection well. The surgeon removed the 2 cancerous nodes and a few others that looked worrisome. We will receive the pathology report and the proposed treatment plan in 10 days or so.
Several hours after his surgery yesterday, Ross was eating soft foods and walking around and was experiencing very minimal pain. In fact, when asked for a level of pain, he stated it was a 2! I have higher than that with a headache!
We were dismissed to the motel today and tomorrow he will have the drain removed and we will head back for Alabama.
Please pray for travel safety for us and the ability to focus for myself.
I was to be speaking this weekend in Florida, but God knew that He really had that assignment saved for a young lady I spend time mentoring. It will be a huge opportunity for her and I am so blessed to be able to be a part of that kingdom work!
I will be traveling to California next weekend for a ladies retreat so I would appreciate your praying over that!
Thank you, dear friend, for reading this and sharing your gift of time with me.
love, margaret

REPORT FROM HOUSTON
Dear Friends,
Ross and I were in Houston for our 3 month checkup and were surprised to learn that Ross has developed 2 spots that were biopsied and determined to be Squamos cells. We are returning to Houston tomorrow and are scheduled for surgery to remove the tumors on Wednesday. We are not sure whether follow up treatment will be required and what that treatment will be. This battle with head and neck cancer has been raging for 8 years now.
I will continue to post a report after Tuesday. Thank you for continued prayer support and for believing that God is able to heal Ross.
We are encouraged knowing that this diagnosis was not a surprise to God - did not catch him off guard.
I have teaching the last 3 weeks from chapter 3 of Genesis and God has been so faithful to prepare me for the journey ahead straight from His Word. He is my defender and I am so thankful that I am on His side and He is on mine!
love, margaret
