Off to treatments

Dear Friends,

Dan starts his treatments today. I think that he will probably post tonight or tomorrow about the experience. I just wanted to put out a quick request for extra-heavy-duty prayer over the next 6 weeks. I am praying that God uses our gifted doctors, nurses, and technicians to administer healing care to Danny. I am praying that the chemicals and radiation effectively destroy the bad cells and spare the good ones. I am praying that God performs a healing miracle. I am praying for strength and peace to fill my dear Dan. I am praying for you, our friends and family, that you are blessed through your gifts of love, time and devotion.

I praise God for the gift of Dan! I praise God for the gift of today! I pray that we are used in God's will for God's will, "...for such a time as this" (Esther 4:14).

Love,
Leah

I know you guys are "glad" to be taking this next step. Go show those bad cells who's boss Dan. They don't know who they're messing with. We love you and know how strong you and Leah are physically, spiritually, and as a family. I toast you now thinking of these next 42 days: to a great man, a full recovery, and a dear friend. We love you, Dan.

note- I just discovered that some of the comments never posted. I went back and put them up so please look back to see comments over the last week or so.

Lionel,

Thank you for the posting the comments. Dan and I love are SO encouraged and strengthened by the support of so many loving people! (Dan and I can actually respond to comments, but we can only enjoy reading the guest book--so, if you want a reply, leave a comment and Dan or I can answer questions here!) ~Leah
