Keep Praying!

Susette went to UCLA and had a probe of her throat. It was determined that the problem was not food but the damage caused by radiation. Apparently, the radiation fried her esophagus and that is why she has so much pain. The food was not the problem. The doctor said to stop all radiation until she is healed (1-3 weeks). We are praying to stop altogether.

We spoke to our radiologist and he couldn't understand what happened. He said that she had a very light dose (12) and that most treatments are more intense (60). Nonetheless, we are thinking we are done. Pray that God will give us clear confirmation.

As i write, Susette has not had solid food since Saturday. She is barely drinking water. PLEASE pray that she will be able to at least take in Ensure. The other option, if she doesn't, is to hook her up to an IV and/or food tube through the stomach.

We know that God healed Susette a long time ago. I continue to pray for God to direct you in your decision, but let me tell you something. My sister had radiation on her female organs and it totally fried all her lower organs. When they tried to fix her bladder they found that her insides were like tofu and nothing could be repaired because the stitches would not hold. I pray you stop the treatments for Susette's sake. God's healing does not require it anyway. I love you all very much.
