Finis!

Praise the Lord! Susette had her last chemo therapy treatment yesterday! We cannot believe it! Today (July 4th), we're celebrate two independence days! And we have nothing but praise and glory to offer up to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for getting us to this point. And for all of you, whose prayers of healing and comfort helped us through this difficult time, we humbly give you our deepest depth of gratitude. God bless you.

Our last day at the U.C.L.A. medical center was bitter sweet. We were excited that it was all over but, at the same time, will greatly miss some of our dear new friends we have made along the way. Nurses, doctors and staff, and fellow patients -- some of which still have a very long way to go before their treatments are over. Susette and i gave lots of hugs and some little gifts of appreciation.

Her treatment went very quickly and, when it was over, the nurse removed her pick line, her temporary medicine treatment line that consisted of two caps, attached to a thin line threaded up her vein to her heart. Susette was not sad to see that go!

When we got home, our kids had decorated our house with balloons and signs of congratulations. It was a joyous day to be sure.

Now what? Well, it's not completely over yet. We have a PET/CT scan yet to complete and a meeting with a radiologist on Monday to discuss the radiation treatment. We have no idea, at this point, what that will involve but will update the blog as soon as we know.

In the meantime, we're focused strongly on feeding her right and building up her immunity. Please keep praying. It isn't over yet.

Praise God! His love endures forever!
