Ok here goes again... I am just going to post the email I sent to my family and friends here so I dont have to retype... sorry its long but please take the short couple min to read and pray Thank you!
Hello Friends and Family,
I am coming to you all with an urgent prayer request! Robert, my husband has a lot of health issues that have occurred all of the sudden and needs some serious prayer going on so if you don’t mind, say a prayer for him!
He went to the dr when we were living in La and they came to him and said that they had some of his blood work come back and his white count (I believe it was the white) came back all out of whack and shows signs along with some other tests they have done for liver disease. So he then went to the Dr in OKC and heard same thing but the dr there didn’t pursue it so we didn’t think it was a big deal.. well 2 months ago, actually the week before we moved to Dallas his dr in Tyler saw the same thing and said it seems to be getting worse and he needed to get it checked immediately. So he went to a Dr here in town the day before he left for work 2 weeks ago and they called me last Friday and let me know that yes it does show the same thing and they needed to see him soon…so then
Last Wednesday he was at work and had to take himself to the ER after work for heat exhaustion/mild heat stroke. While laying there in the bed they came running in with EKG machines and so on and said that his blood work etc came back with all the signs that he had just had a massive heart attack!!!! The EKG however came back showing that he had not.. however he is really not acting himself and really not feeling well at all… So then while at a follow up appointment they also find a spot on his back which has been there for a while but is now growing and they believe it to be cancer. He is going to the Dr Friday morning at 10:45 am to see if he has #1 liver disease #2 if he did have a heart attack and #3 to see if this spot is indeed cancer which as of right now we have had 2 drs who believe it is. and I am asking you all to pray!! PLEASE!
I know God sent Robert into my life and I refuse to let the devil steal him from me! I am really scared… hurt and confused… for those who know and have followed the last few yrs.. you know we are no strangers to drama but this is just getting a little old! I am ready for the blessing because the fire has been hot and long and we are getting tired,,, sorry for such a long book here but just please pray…..
Also Zoey (Coren) is looking at possibly having to have foot surgery and Mike is not doing well with his asthma so just keep all of us in prayers pretty much and thanks!
Rob, Theresa and the gang!
I am continuing to pray for your family. I have been in similar situations and know how scary it can be.

Amazing Grace,
I am praying right now. I know how frightening it is when you are scared you might lose your husband. Believe me. I wish I could somehow reach through this monitor into your home and wrap you in a warm hug. At times like this, it helps so much if there is someone you can lean on to draw your strength. Please let us be your "someone". We love ya, girlfriend!!
Only God knows what His plans are for you and for your family. But we know that He promises that His plans are for your good and not for evil. Let's trust Him together.

Thank you all so much! This has been a really rough day! We are gonna make it...We had awesome church tonight! Pastor had Rob come up and prayed for him and I really feel that God touched him.
He is scared. He is honest about that, thats what makes this so hard.. he is one of the "tough guys" who is never scared but he is this time. I heard him talkin to his momma tonight and it just hurt so bad to hear him scared....
Thanks for the prayers, he goes in tomorrow am for some more blood work and then his appointment Friday morning we should have some final results
Adding this to my daily prayer list... please keep us posted.

Sis... I closed this thread, and felt to come back to it. This song really ministers to me when I am worried and scared about things that are beyond my control. The video quality isn't the best, but I wanted to share it anyway...

Thank you Dan and Blu, and everyone else...
Got thru the blood work part of it... I think I cried more sitting in my corner of the drs office today then I have so far... It just kind of all hit... talking about biopsys and all that stuff... I sat there and looked around like there should have been someone else sitting there then it hit me... this is "my husband"!!
God is in control and I am holding onto him...
Just remember Sis, God has a reason for it all-- even when we don't understand. He's walking right through all the trials beside you. Just keep leaning on him... and we'll keep holding you up in prayer.
Love ya... Now I'm off to that garage sale. ;)

Thank you! I will.. today is just the sit and wait day... dont know much just had more blood work done... The thing that has been eating at me all day is the fact he didnt tell me until late last night that they are really leaning towards it being liver cancer :(
Then ...here is where we say Yay Theresa... Like an idiot I sent out an email to all our family and friends that I have email addys for last night... and I had no idea his mom had 2 addys... I accidentally sent it to her.. he was gonna call her when we got home from church but hadnt yet... so she emailed me in a panic because... his aunt just was diagnosed friday w breast cancer .....soooooo its been a wild one!

We are leaving in about 15 min to head to the dr. A bit nervous but please keep us in your prayers. Thanks to everyone who has called and prayed. It means so much to us. Just pray they know something today... the sitting and waiting is harder than the knowing....

Well today was a good and bad day... we got back from the dr... Still know absolutely nothing about the tests on the liver... one of the main blood tests is still not back :(
However for the good news... He did NOT have a heart attack! Due to the heat exhaustion/heat stroke he had a massive muscle break down and when this happens whatever enzyme it was that was showing a heart attack always shows on that test... the dr said whoever did the test and freaked like that obviously had never delt w heat situations before to know this or something... so thats good!!!
The knot(lipoma) on his back that they also believe to be cancer will be seen by the surgeon on Tuesday
Glad to hear the good news...
I remember when I was a teenager, my pastor at the time had a son who had this golf ball sized knot to appear on his leg. It grew for several days to nearly the size of a baseball. It was so bad that he couldn't walk. They took him to a doctor, and they made an appointment to send him to some kind of specialist. Before the appointment day came-- this boy was put on every prayer list within 100 miles of here. He woke up a few days later and there was no knot. No one ever knew what it really was, but we know what happened for it to disappear. God took care of it.
I'm going to pray that if it is God's will-- that the knot will begin to shrink in size, and by Tuesday-- be completely gone.
Nothing is impossible with God.

Amen! I know it is possible. For one.. I have been healed of cancer and I know God can heal Rob but also I know that he had this same knot 4 yrs ago and they said the same thing... it had to be removed that it was one of the most quick and deadly types (or so the biopsy said) and he went to our pastors house and he called all the other ministers in the church over and they prayed... all night actually... I remember Bro Poole who had been missionary to africa had just got in town (we were in la at the time) and he was there and he told Rob to go back to the dr as planned that next week and just keep his head up... he went and that morning before he left our house to go tothe dr it was there but by the time he arrived at the dr office it was totally gone! Then it came back :( but I do know God is able and I trust he can do this... and the liver too is no big deal for God... Its just hard to stay convinced of these things when your just sitting and waiting and waiting
Thanks for the words Sis, love and appreciate you so much!
Music always gets me through stuff I'm facing... so I'm going to share this one too...
If you want to skip up to the start of the song, move the bar till the counter is at about 1:26..

Well yall....... gotta Praise report!!!!!!!!!!
We were crazy busy today and I had left 2 messages yesterday for Robs dr... no calls back... then today the mail came and there was a letter asking for us to call asap about some blood work.... of course we were expecting this to not be good as they had already said it wasnt... So Rob calls them at 5 min till 5 so we didnt have to wait again all weekend to find out... the nurse said... Sir your blood work is totally clear just a little high cholesterol!!!!!!!! He does still have to have the biopsy done on his back but I know God does not do half the job.. if he does it he finishes it so we are believing the tumor on his back will be just a fatty tumor and all will be well!!!!
Thank you all for the prayers!!!!! God is good!!!!!
