Happy New Years Everyone If you think prayers dont work, guess again..there is NOTHING like the power of prayer, especially in numbers..God pays attention and HE definitely listens.. This afternoon, Kent got a call from his doctor..Dr. Milton Sieler with Touro Oncology Dept. His scans are completely clean...NO RADIATION is needed. We both just sat down and cried. His staff cried and all my friends cried with me..we are just in awe of so much goodness. What a great way to start the New Year. Kent said to tell all of you how much he loves you and how thankful he is for all the prayers, support, love, cards, well wishes..etc. Its been a rough long year..but even with all the sorrow there have been lessons learned, Patience is the biggest one for me. When situations are out of your control, you either have to go with it or die struggling with it. I chose to go with it even when I was scared out of my wits. I finally learned to take a deep breath, say a prayer and tried not to think or dwell on it too much. I remember the night it dawned on me that this was not an issue for me..it was between Kent and God and I had to get out of the way. I just prayed for God to give the graces that I needed to help Kent deal with this horrible disease. I had to have the faith at that moment that God was in control and was going to do what needed to be done and that in my heart I think I knew it was going to be a rough ride but I felt that he was going to be ok sooner or later. I felt a peace settle in at that moment and from then on, I just went with the moment. Friends called, sent cards and gave lots of love and hugs. What a difference that made. You always felt like you had a shoulder to lean on and cry when you needed to. The laughter made things ok..it was easier to handle..it got to the point that when we went to the Infusion center, Kent was the life of the party..he kept the nurses and the patients laughing. It made everyone feel good, even if just for a little while..they didnt have cancer. Attitude makes a hugh difference in the way the body heals. Kent kept his faith all through this and never one time faltered. I am so proud of him and his courage and his strength gave me something to lean on. He was my role model..I was not his. You cannot possibly understand the emotions a person with any illness goes through until you have experienced it yourself. I have to really thank my sister for all the lessons she taught me through her illness..I truly learned a lot from her and because of that, I was able to deal better with Kent and help him with his fears. There were times we had to be tough and just get over it.. We couldnt allow ourselves to feel sorry and give in..we had to keep going For those that believe in fate..Kent has always believed that the number 7 is Gods number..funny how little things add up and little signs appear..such as.. it has been a 7 month journey since we found out Kent had cancer.. This is the year 2014..add up 2 plus 1 plus 4 and it equals 7 The last hemoglobin count he got ..it had jumped from 10.3 to 10.7 The minute they pulled the last chemo iv out of his arm, we looked at our watches..the time was 223pm..add up 2 plus 2 plus 3 and it equals 7. God has been with us all the way through all of this. HE promises to never leave us during times of trouble. We are just in awe of all of this..we are so thankful to everyone and we thanked God in prayer this morning for putting all of you in our lives. We could never have made it without you. Heres to a new beginning with good health, good friends, a wonderful family and lots of love....God Bless. We love you big time. Kent and Jessie
