Oaklie ... 800am ... 01/26/2014 I am sorry for some confusion yesterday ... The blood work showing no blasts or no bad cancer cells is where the doctors want Oaklie to be at this point. It means that the chemo is working! But it doesnt mean that we are in remission (yet) ... There are other days since chemo began that the doctors look at significant things and tests before they will say the word remission ... Believe me, when I hear it you all will know ... You will hear me shouting!!! I promised this testimony yesterday so here it is ... A little long maybe but hear it goes... Overcomer Testimony Friday January 10, 2014 started out as just another normal Friday ... Breakfast at Waffle House then on to work at Mud Creek Graphics and Mr Greenjeans. And then i met for lunch at 11:30 with my Friday lunch group buddies. It doesnt get much better than that!!! After lunch , I went back to the office on New Franklin Road and I got the call. Pattis number was on my phone and when I said hello she began to speak and I knew something was wrong .. She said Jacob and Whitney were on their way to Childrens Healthcare of Atlanta (CHOA) with Oaklie and we had to go to their house and watch Asher. What was wrong I asked. Then Patti said Oaklies bloodwork had come back abnormal. Those words were like someone just punched me in the gut and knocked me to the ground. Now in my 52 years, I had never known anyone go to Scottish Rite or Egleston or CHOA without something serious going on. I got in my truck and I said this prayer, Lord Please let Oaklie be ok ... Please let this be something that she will overcome. Thank you Jesus ... Amen. So we headed to Whitneys house and when we got there Honey Momon was there to watch Asher and it was where we first heard that we may be looking at leukemia yes the c word. We hit the road to Atlanta. I remember this like it was yesterday ... Me and Patti were driving on I85 and where I285 splits off to the right, we were listening, through a lot of tears, to J93.3. Overcomer by Mandisa came on the radio. It was the first time I had heard it and I listened closely to the words because I knew one hour earlier I had said a prayer about Oaklie overcoming whatever it was that she had. I do believe at that point that was God telling me that things were under control ... That my God had this. When we got to CHOA, Jacob and Whitney were in their room, they said the doctors there told them things were pointing toward leukemia also, and that they would know specifically what type the next day. The next day the doctor came in and said it was ALL or Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia and that we had a two year treatment plan we were about to start. Again it was like someone just knocked the wind out of you. Now ... we have been traveling back and forth to Atlanta for over two weeks and I can tell you this ... I have heard Overcomer every time I have traveled to and from CHOA ... On the radio and in the car. Again, I believe this is my God telling us that O will be all right!!! I want to share with you two scriptures that I have been led to during this time: John 16:33 [33] These things I have spoken to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I HAVE OVERCOME THE WORLD. And 1 John 5:4-5 NIV [4] for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. [5] Who is it that overcomes the world? Only the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God. I believe that Oaklie will overcome this setback. God has greater works for her. Please continue to pray for O and for her Mom and Dad. Thank you all for all your prayers! I love you all!!!
