A Day To Rejoice!

watercolor version
This picture was taken during dinner at Applebee's last night... We decided to go out for dinner to celebrate some wonderful news we received yesterday. Brandon's father had been told months and months ago that he had "cancer of the throat". He has been through chemo and radiation and has even had to have a trache put in. Recently the doctors thought that the cancer was still there... Yesterday we got news that the biopsy done a week or so ago was NEGATIVE! Yes, I said NO cancer! We were all so relieved to hear this great news! The next step is for him to have the hyperbaric chamber treatments to clear up the dead tissues around that area and hopefully heal enough to get the trache taken out. This has been a rough past year but it finally seems that there is "light at the end of the tunnel." I have prayed and prayed that some way his dad would get better, and it finally seems that (through no reward for my own deeds) my prayers have been answered! Being so far away from home and his dad, this whole ordeal has been really hard on Brandon. Our whole family has just had a huge boulder lifted off our shoulders. Although he is not completely out of the woods, the future looks very bright!
