"God's Holy Wisdom"
I want to give some understanding to why Ron and I have chosen to go in
the direction of making decisions that make "no sense" too "common sense"!
Here's a brief understanding and overview of Ron's condition:
Ron was diagnosed with an "inoperable brain tumor" 2009
this means "Unsuitable for a surgical procedure" the tumor has infiltrated Ron's brain.
It is apart of Ron's Brain.
Ron has an {"Oligodendroglioma Grade 3 malignant tumor"}.
Oligodendroglioma is an uncommon type of primary brain tumor that comprises about 3 percent of all primary brain tumors diagnosed in the United States.
Oligodendrogliomas contain cells that resemble normal oligodendrocytes but are more rapidly growing than normal cells.
Like other brain tumor types, oligodendrogliomas are graded on a grade I-IV scale, with IV the worst.
Grade III oligodendroglioma, synonymous with anaplastic oligodendroglioma, typically grows more quickly.
While some oligodendrogliomas are not malignant, they all have the potential to be.
Oligodendroglioma can affect parts of the brain that control "speech, vision" or motor functions. For this reason, surgery may be associated with the "risk of disability"
Treating oligodendroglioma is a complex process, requiring a variety of techniques and procedures.
After numerous trips to Ron's Neurosurgeon, Neurologist, for the past 2 years and them keeping a close watch on the growth of Ron's tumor, they can do nothing for Ron, so by the size of Ron's tumor they know what will happen, so after a "wait and see approach", These Dr's referred Ron to a specialist who specializes in Brain tumors, after seeing the specialist, "the surgery could be done",
{"not to cure Ron"} not to remove all of the tumor"},
BUT only to De-bulk the tumor {take out what they could} from putting pressure on Ron's brain, and causing the Neurological damage it will do.
Possible risks of brain surgery are:
- Surgery on any one area of the brain may cause problems with speech, memory, muscle weakness, balance, vision, coordination, and other functions.
- These problems "may last a short while or they may not go away".
- Blood clot or bleeding in the brain
- Seizures
- Stroke
- Coma
- Infection in the brain, in the wound, or in the skull
- Brain swelling
- Death
Treatment is a must after the surgery---- Radiation and chemo, Physical therapy, speech therapy, and more Chemo, and the High probability of the tumor growing back and another surgery! And repeating the above.
Ron and I know that "Life is a gift" we do not take this lightly, or for granted, if anything life is very precious, and while My Man has His Mind to "think clearly" and "make clear decisions" this decision has been made according to a "Peace" that "only" the Lord can give us in "not proceeding" with this surgery.
The Lord has been so incredibly amazing in our Lives the past 2-1/2 years doing a great work in Ron and My life that has pressed us in closer to Jesus,causing us to look at our walk with the Lord even more intimately. There is no way for us by our own efforts to reach God's High standards, but He graciously accepts us, forgives us, and draws us in closer with himself. We have personal and intimate communion with Him Daily.
It is an awesome privilege to be able to approach God with Freedom and confidence.
ONLY because of Jesus Christ and the finished work He did on the cross for us, and by our faith we can enter directly into God's presence through Prayer and thanksgiving,
Ron and I know we will be welcomed with open arms because we are God's kids,through our union with Jesus Christ. God wants us to come to Him and talk to Him about everything in our lives,God is always waiting so patiently! We put our lives in His hands and completely trust him in how He shows us through His word, walking by faith one step at a time.Our part is to be faithful in trusting in what God is leading and showing us, and being anxious for nothing. Does this come naturally? NO!!!!!! Only by God's super natural hand over us can we walk this walk hand in hand with Jesus and by the Power of God's spirit in us empowering us to walk through what ever life throws at us.
Ron and I it seems any more will take what opportunity we can to experience what the Lord is doing around us through his hand of creation we Love seeing and in this case hearing and seeing God at work in the heavens!
I was awakened by a loud explosion................I laid there and went,,,,,,,,WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
it was "thunder"..... so I laid my hand on Dad and he woke up then the sky lit up!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got up and sat by the window to see some more,{"Dad said lets go see this"}! here we are 3:30 in the morning "STORM CHASERS"...................skys lighting up........ toooly fog low to the ground thunder rolling,and then "HAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yes "HAIL"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and then on our way home this now is about 4:45 we drive down by the Marina, the water is as still as a pond their walks our Dear friend,we say our good mornings and Bless him while He's off on the water,what a wonderful way to start the day. Glorifying the Lord and seeing our Brother in Jesus!
He fills his hands with lightning and commands it to strike its mark.He unleashes his lightning beneath the whole heaven and sends it to the ends of the earth.He loads the clouds with moisture; he scatters his lightning through them.lightning and hail, snow and clouds, stormy winds that do his bidding,Out of the brightness of his presence clouds advanced,Your thunder was heard in the whirlwind, your lightning lit up the world; the earth trembled and quaked. with hailstones and bolts of lightning His splendor was like the sunrise; rays flashed from his hand, where his power was hidden.
-Job 36-37-Psalms 148--18 Hab 3
Our God is an awesome God there is no one like Him! No one .Bless you Lord with all my soul,I Love you Jesus thank you for the sunrise.
Eternity to those who acknowledge Jesus Christ as the Truth the way and the Life is a day that has no sunset.
Eternity for those who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as the way the Truth and the life is a day with no sunrise! Our days on earth are like a passing shadow,gone so soon with out a trace. Nothing lasts unless it is rooted in God's unchanging character, Relationship only in Christ Jesus can we find everlasting life and a peace that passes our understanding.Good Morning Lord,and a beautiful one you have given. Our Life is in Our Masters Hands.
Thank you for all your Prayers over us,we so
greatly appreciate you.
