The Pathology has come back to Dr. Beck's Office. She got it all, the margins are clear!!!
After a rough day yesterday (we almost had to take Shayla back to the hospital), this morning's news was all we needed to make this better!
Believe it or not, no one answered the phone this morning when Dr. Beck's nurse, Tempe, called to share the results of the pathology, and Mom was outside doing some therapeutic yard work. Anyway, when I came in and saw the message light blinking on the phone I was very nervous at first to hear Tempe's voice, but she got right to the point to let us know "all margins came back clear"!!!!
A great burden has been eased! The storm of the past week has definitely helped prepare us to appreciate even more what today's Good News means for Shayla as well as the rest of our family. There are many well-worn cliche's and analogies that I could insert here, but will leave those to your imaginations.
What needs to be said is we are GRATEFUL for such a huge blessing. We are GRATEFUL that Heavenly Father's will was to bless Shayla with an end to cancer and we pray it will be for good.
There is still a fairly long road to walk, but by faith we can all make it through (oh yeah, and patience, and long-suffering, and great friends and families standing by us every step of the way!). I am grateful it doesn't seem that it will be quite as hard as the first half has been.

YYYYYYEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(C.S Lewis, The Silver Chair, Book 6 in The Chrionicles of Narnia)
"Stand still. In a moment I will blow. But first, remember, remember, remember the signs (truth). Say them to yourself when you wake in the morning and when you lie down at night, and when you wake in the middle of the night. And whatever strange things may happen to you, let nothing turn your mind from following the signs. And secondly, I give you a warning...Here on the mountain, the air is clear and your mind is clear; as you drop down into Narnia, the air will thicken. Take care that it does not confuse your mind. And the signs which you have learned here will not look at all as you expect them to look, when you meet them there. That is why it is so important to know them by heart and pay no attention to appearances. Remember the signs and believe the signs. Nothing else matters."
Shayla....I love this quote. It helps remind me that when we have trials, Heavenly Father will also send us blessings during that time. I believe He has blessed you with MANY signs and although this may not be any fun to go through, He continues to pour blessings out for you. Look at your latest news....how awesome it that! Blessings, Blessings, Miracles and Miracles because of you faith and because of Heavenly Father.
Congrats on your latest news!
We love you!!
Sandy, Ryan and Adrian
