Another update 4/4

Hello all,

Well, as the journey with cancer has done to us so many times before, we have a change of plans.  The doctor from Mexico called Randy and Joanie this afternoon to see how he is doing and when they told him that he had rejected the idea of radiation and was going to go home, the Dr. told him not to.  The Dr. believes that the radiation will help alleviate the pain he has been experiencing and that he should go ahead with it.  When Randy is well enough to travel he wants him to still go to Mexico for treatment because he believes he can help him.  This is truly in God's hands as it always has been.  Tami, Randy and Joanie's daughter, said that God has been telling her that, "He's got him and is taking care of him and not to give up."  Randy has fought so hard these past two years and now it is our turn to fight even harder for and with him.  All of the family is in agreement that going ahead with the radiation is the right plan.  Randy says ok, let's do it!  We asked Randy if he wanted his dad to be there during the treatment, and he said yes, so we are going to get him on a plane to Detroit as soon as we get the go ahead.

So, the plan is for Rand to stay at U of M and go through with radiation therapy--this will be about 3 weeks, and then when he is well enough to travel they will go to Mexico.  I know I can speak for my whole family when I say thank you for all of your support.  It means the world to us to know that there are so many of you out there praying for us and keeping Rand near to your hearts.  We know our prayers are heard and put our trust in the Lord.

I will keep you updated as I learn more.
