| Just home from the Hospital |
Well, it has been a little while since I did an update but I finally have got the time to work on it. So here is what has been going on so far since my last update.
Our last time to minister was at COTR Buriram on March 1st and as many of you know by now that right before this Annie discovered a lump in her right breast. So we went and had a mammogram and ultrasound at one of the private hospitals here. The breast clinic decided to take a sample of the lump and do a biopsy on it.
We got the results back right before we went to minister at COTR Buriram. We prayed and many of you were praying for us as well and waiting for the results to come in. When we went for the results we were expecting with all of our heart the tumor was benign but we were shocked to find out that it was malignant. I was like what now God and why did it come out this way. God showed me real quick that this was a miracle from God because we found it so quickly while it was still only 1.5cm at the time.
We immediately went to talk to the surgeon and he encouraged us because it was so small that Annie could keep her breast and most likely would not have to have chemo. That is when I began to see the Hand of God on everything even to leading us to the surgeon we already knew.
On the 4th of March, Annie had her surgery in the afternoon. They removed the tumor and some lymph nodes to do another biopsy to see if it had spread or not. I thank God for our spiritual children from Khon Kaen and Buriram who where there with us trough this ordeal. They were a true blessing to us and especially me.

| Praying for Annie |
Annie was supposed to only spend one night in the hospital but do to the side effects of the anesthesia she had to spend an extra night.
On March 12th, we went to have the drain removed from Annie's surgery and afterwards the doctor told us they had the results from the lymph nodes back already.
God is great and awesome!!!!! All glory to God in the highest!
LYMPH NODES ARE BENIGN and everything was contained and taken out wtih the tumor! Stage one only!
All glory and honor to God! That night we went back for an appointment with the cancer doctor to determine what treatment Annie would need. The cancer doctor and recommended hormone treatment for 5 years and radiation. He is doing the hormone treatment but we will have to go to the government hospital for the radiation treatments . Many of you were praying for us during this time and we thank you so much.
On March 17, Annie got her bandages off in the morning and then we went to the government hospital to see a radiation doctor and set up appointments for radiation. It took almost all day before we got to the radiation clinic.
The government hospital is a lot like the VA hospital in America, packed with people and takes for ever to get anything done. Thank God for our spiritual kids, Nikom and Luckana, who helped us all day. They did all the running around and all we did was wait. They were truly a blessing to us!
We finally got to see the radiation doctor around 3 in the afternoon and she set us up for the treatments. Annie will go for an ex ray and check up on April 21st and start treatments about two weeks after. She will have 20 treatments all together in succession for 15 minutes at a time. She will start the hormone treatments tomorrow. So that’s the plan so far. Please pray for NO side effects from the hormone pill and the radiation treatments.

| After a long day at the Hospitals! |
This has been a long and draining process, but we are all set for now and will just be waiting for the treatments. With all of the COVID-19 closures and restrictions, it actually works out good for us because we can just take off and rest during this time for Annie to be physically strong in May when it is time for the treatments. We are praying for all of you as I know you are praying for us.
We thank everyone so much for their prayers and especially thank those who gave an offering for our medical expenses, the offerings came our exactly to what we needed for Annie’s surgery. As far as the radiation treatments, we give glory and honor once again to our Almighty God for they will be free! Annie is Thai, so she will be able to get the treatments with the Thai government program! Praise God! So the only expense we now have is with the hormone treatments for those pills are expensive around $5.00 a day and we know God will provide! Amen?
Thanks again to everyone who is and are continuing to pray for us. We truly appreciate every one of you!
We love you all!
