Praying for Paw Paw

For those of you that we haven't talked with over the last few weeks, we ask that you please pray for Hal's dad, Randy Ramsey. He has been sick for quite some time and in the hospital since last week. After multiple blood tests, a bone marrow biopsy, and surgery to remove a lymph node, they determined that he has lymphoma.

Earlier this week they were able to confirm the type as Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma. This type of lymphoma is extremely rare and aggressive, but Randy's doctor feels that it is treatable. They inserted the chemo port earlier this week and he will begin chemotherapy this morning. The doctor let them know that this first round of chemotherapy is quite tough.

Please join us in praying the following:
*Pray for Randy as he has his first chemo treatment begins today. Pray for strength and that his body can handle it.
*Pray for Hal's mom, Nan, as she cares for Randy. Pray that she will get rest.
*Pray that they both maintain a positive attitude and trust in God's care.

Thank you so much for joining with us in these requests.
Love,
Hal & Lindsay

Lindsay and Hal,
Having gone thru having a Dad with cancer I know your heart is heavy. You and your family will be in our prayers. Take one day at a time and enjoy every moment of time you get to spend together.
