We had the best surprise today when Todd's doctor hand-delivered the pathology report. The report shows that there is NO SIGN OF CANCER in ANY of the 12 lymph nodes that were removed! PRAISE GOD TODD IS CANCER-FREE! Needless-to-say, there have been many tears of joy and prayers of thanksgiving around here!
Todd has also made incredible strides in his recovery in the last 24 hours. He was able to have his epidural removed this morning and has made the transition to oral narcotics very smoothly. He is reasonably comfortable and was able to start eating! Jello and soup never tasted so good!
Todd has sucessfully completed all of the steps necessary for him to come home from the hospital. The doctor has given his okay, so Todd will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow and we'll be headed HOME!
We are so overwhelmed by God's goodness and grace! Todd still has a lot of recovery ahead of him, but this will indeed be one of the most memorable and poignant Christmas's we've ever had.
Continued thanks to all who have supported us and prayed for us. Please join with us in praising God for his mercy and healing! Glory to Him!

Todd & Jessica,
We are rejoicing with you! God is SOOO good. He always is, we just sometimes take on the worry and forget that His plans are always for a future and a hope. Merry Christmas! You will continue to be in our prayers.
Blessings,
Stuart & Dawn
Sloans, we have been praying and are so excited to hear the great news. Providence is such a good gift from our Father. We'll keep checking in and hope to talk with Todd when he is up for it. I hope you boys are doing well through all of this.
