We Have Dates!

Although the words "thank you for your prayers" do not seem to ring with the intensity that I would like to convey, I do not have better words. Jesus has heard all of our prayers and scheduling the myriad of scans went through without a glitch and everything was able to be scheduled!! Thank you for interceding on our behalf.

Tuesday, December 7: MRIs of brain, chest, abdomen, and pelvis Thursday, December 9: PET scan Friday, December 10: Doctor says he will have results

We would ask your continued prayers as we wait. It seems different for some reason to have definitive dates attached to knowing news. I cannot really put it into words, but for the first time today I cried. Sobbed actually. I have prayed to remain strong in all of this but I must admit that there are a few cracks in the "armor" these days! I would covet your prayers for peace and assurance for the next week. I would also ask for prayers for health as my fever persists along with my crushing headache and fatigue.

Thank you so much! Thanks for checking in on us! Lee and Steve

God is so good. I am so pleased all the scheduling worked out. I will continue to pray for your health and that God will give you peace as you wait for results. Psalm 138:8 The Lord will vindicate me; your love, Lord, endures forever---do not abandon the works of your hands.

It's ok to cry. (I do) Praying that you are able to endure with godly patience, godly peace, and even godly tears. For relief from fever and pain - now! Thanks for the update, your courage is uplifting to me. Love, Susan<><

Sweet Lee, there is nothing wrong with crying. It is cleansing to let out all those pent- up emotions. Praise God for taking care of the scheduling. We'll continue praying for relief from the fatigue, pain, and fever. I wish there was something I could do to take it away for you.

We keep trusting God's heart even when we don't see His hand. Love you much, sandi

Hi Lee: My name is Chris Hill, a volunteer member of LFD3 and the new Safe Kids TC Coordinator. I just want to let you and Steve know, you both are in my prayers.

I hope one day the two of us can meet and "chat" about Safe Kids. I continually come across your wonderful contributions as Safe Kids TC Coordinator in the Safe Kids files, and please know, you're an inspiration to me to do the best job I

can promoting Safe Kids in our county. I must say, many times I think to myself - I wonder if Lee has documentation on this or that and I go to the files

(electronic & hard copy.) I have found plenty of answers. Thank you!:) Again, you are both in my prayers and I will ask my brother-in-law (a pastor

at Arcade Church in Carmichael, CA) to include you in their congragational prayers. Best regards, Chris

Lee Bob...just want you to know that Uncle Wayne and I will be fervently praying for you, Steve, and the doctors (technicians). We love you so much and pray that God's strength and peace will sustain you through yet another trial. Sending you a great big hug and lots of love. Aunt Vickie and Uncle Wayne Judith Miller December 2, 2010, 10:43 PM lee - I went to school with your mother and have been following your updates and praying that you could have peace and finally know something. You are still in my prayers and I ask that God be with you to help you through whatever He has for you.

Strength and peace will come. Don't feel guilty for crying - you need the release and it is not a sign of weakness, but of strength. Praying for you, Judy Miller, Knoxville
