Below is actually an email that Joey sent out as an update on his mom. I thought since he never "blogs", I would use his words!Hey Everyone,
It’s been a few months since I sent the first email asking for your prayers for Mom. Thank you so much for the calls and emails. So many of you have kept constant check on her and both she and I appreciate it. We are now roughly halfway through her treatments and she is progressing well. She lost her hair within the first few weeks of her treatment and for the most part she hasn’t lost much weight. The first treatment was extremely hard on her, but the last two have been much easier…..she has even been able to work some in between treatments. She had some relief from the pain in her back and stomach immediately, which was much needed. Now with each treatment the pain continues to subside.
She had a CT scan this week to review her progress and we were excited to learn that the treatments are working! The size of her lymph nodes and spleen has been reduced by over 50%. Her prognosis continues to be complete remission by the end of treatment. God is Good!!
She will have 3 more rounds of Chemo by the end of December and will then have more tests to check progress. I will continue to keep all of you updated and please continue to keep her in your prayers.
I would also ask that you continue to keep Stacey in your prayers. She has been my rock physically, emotionally, and spiritually and I am so thankful for her love and support through all of this. She also does a great job keeping friends and family updated on the daily comings and goings of our family on her blog.

So, there you have the latest update. As Joey said, God is definitely Good. He has definitely sustained us and given us what we have needed to help Linda through this trying time. I'm sure there is still a long road ahead....but we know He'll meet us there!
