The MRI showed no metastatic disease or tumors. The spots that showed in her right tibia are still glowing, but the consensus is that it is marrow changes due to chemotherapy. We will continue the rest of her treatment at CHNOLA. She has three 5 day chemotherapy cycles left. We are hoping to be finished mid-late November. Bone graft surgery will not be until after Christmas so she can enjoy a cast-free holiday!! Thank you all for your prayers!

There was a serious traffic accident at the Hwy. 38 end of Bethel Road this afternoon. Thankfully, the electrical pole was hurt more than any of the people involved. I thank God the three young ladies were safe in what could have been a much more serious accident. I also thank God for the professionals who rush to accidents, health problems, etc. to help as needed.

If you have shoes, especially shoes for children, and uniforms of any size or color, it’s not too late. Leave them inside the office or main door of FBC, Kentwood. We’ll make another delivery later. Also, begin collecting blankets and jackets that you wish to contribute.
