We thank God for this answer to prayer and want to express our appreciation to everyone who has prayed with us for this result. While we don't live for results, it is a comfort to hear those words.
This does not mean that our prayers stop. No, we will always have something to pray about - if not for Sam, then for others... there are always so many who need prayers.
The book of James, Chapter 5: 13-16 reads:
Is anyone among you in trouble? Let him say prayers. Is anyone glad? Let him make a song of praise. Is anyone among you ill? Let him send for the rulers of the church; and let them say prayers over him, putting oil on him in the name of the Lord. And by the prayer of faith the man who is ill will be made well, and he will be lifted up by the Lord, and for any sin which he has done he will have forgiveness. So then, make a statement of your sins to one another, and say prayers for one another so that you may be made well. The prayer of a good man is full of power in its working.
Remission from cancer is a huge comfort. If your heart is still moved to pray for Sam, here are his needs:
- That Sam's ability to swallow will improve and that his saliva glands will be restored and produce more saliva. (He must consume a lot of liquid (about 40 ounces per meal) to aid his swallowing and makes it challenging to acquire the calories he needs to keep his weight up.) He would love to be able to eat pizza or a hoagie - just once.
- His old back injury causes chronic leg and foot pain prevents him from getting the restful sleep that is so important in the healing process.
Love,
Sam and Maddy
