Hey Guys,
Sorry it's been so long, but I just went to see my surgeon today and got an updated X-ray of my jaw. It's been about a year since he removed the ameloblastoma that was eating away at my bone/tissue in that area. The results could not have been better. There are no signs of recurrence whatsoever. After a year, my surgeon is MUCH more optimistic than he was after the initial surgery. The next step is to see a specialist in Miami to get his opinion on my care going forward. My doctor is still leaning towards more aggressive surgeries, and he said the first 3 years are the most dangerous, but good news is still good news and his tone is noticeably more upbeat. Please keep praying - the likelihood that I'll have to undergo aggressive treatment is still high, but I know that our God is still Jehovah-Rapha (the God who heals) and he has not, nor ever will forsake me. I can't even begin to express my gratitude to all of you who've stood by me, loved me, supported me, and prayed for me. My heart overflows with joy thinking about the outpouring of love I've received. My burden has been easily bearable because of your kindness. I will update you as soon as I hear back from the specialist. Please continue to pray for healing, insurance issues, and financial provision as I take the next step towards wrapping this part of my life up and moving on to something better.
May the Lord, our God, bless you all with his sweet presence and may your heart be filled with love.

"Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, 'The LORD is my portion;
therefore I will wait for him.'" - Lamentations 3:22-24
