The Gamma Praise Report...

C.H. Spurgeon said:

"No net of trouble can so hold us that the Lord cannot free us. Our afflictions may be numerous and complicated, but prayer can set us free from them all, for the Lord will show Himself strong on our behalf."

This is what we have experienced today, and all the praise goes to Jesus Christ our Lord...

Jody is doing extremely well. Here are just a few of the ways God's strength and tenderness manifested itself in our lives today...

1. God gave us amazing grace every minute. We had "smooth sailing" from the time we awoke (about 4:00 am), throughout our entire hospital stay, and until the time we arrived back at the hotel (3:30 pm). Every detail was expertly handled by the medical team. The Lord was our banner, our healer, our strength and joy!
2. Our Neurosurgeon told us exactly what to expect in advance, and by God's grace, everything the doctor predicted came to pass - slightly ahead of schedule!
   
3. Each of the "mets" targeted by today's procedure were successfully treated! Jody will have a follow-up scan in six to eight weeks. They also follow up with scans throughout the year. The Lord has protected my sweet angel in a powerful way today.
   
4. We had several opportunities to share that we were lovers of Jesus Christ with hospital staff - we gave out copies of Jody's music - and lo and behold - the Gamma Team (two other specialists) turned out to be Christians! They recognized the hymns (Jody had instrumental hymns from Offertories playing during the procedure) and said "they had a sing along" in the control room! Praise the Lord!
5. We have a "green light" from our Neurosurgeon to pursue the treatments we were seeking for Jody's body (RFA, etc..) We will trust the Lord for our next move after she has had sufficient rest.

Jody is resting, enjoying some icepacks on her head, and is not showing any signs of swelling or problems that sometimes occur post-op. We are so grateful. She is allowed to return to "normal activity" tomorrow (but we are taking it really easy, and simply traveling home.) What an amazing experience. All the glory goes to our Lord who has been guiding us every moment. Hallelujah to our Holy Lord!

Jody says "God poured out His grace upon me today; your prayers were felt, honored, and I trust rewarded by the Lord of Hosts. I am surprised at how well I feel. Thank you for your faithful prayers!"
