We have been blessed with a MIRACLE!!!

This past September, Kurt's dad Kelly was diagnosed with Kidney Cancer. Shortly after his diagnosis one doctor told him that he had 3-6 months to live. He had one of his kidneys removed as well as a brain met, then started radiation and chemo. Three months after he started chemo we found out that his body was not responding. He started a different kind of treatment and today he met with his doctor to review his CT. He told my inlaws that the number of tumors had decreased as well as the size of the remaining tumors. This does NOT happen with Kidney cancer. We feel so blessed and are very grateful to our loving Heavenly Father for allowing our family to have this miracle and for rejuvenating our hope.
