Praise God

I just wanted to take a second to praise God. A couple weeks ago we found out Derek had some kind of growth on his leg and they sent us for x-rays. We then had the privileg of waiting for over a week to see the specialist at the Children's Hospital. It is amazing the different things that go through your mind while praying that God would heal your son and that this would be nothing serious. It was also amazing to have so many people praying for us and for Derek.

Well on Wednesday we found out that it is just some kind of growth on the bone and they will just leave it there. Derek was hoping for surgery so that he could skip school for a while, but then I told him he would have to miss basketball for a while too and he wasn't quite as excited to have surgery. The growth is something that will just be there for the rest of his life and unless it begins to cause him pain they won't mess with it. We go back to the doctor in 6 months just so they can check it out again.

We want to thank all of you for praying for us, and we want to praise God for being in control of the sitation, and that our prayers were answered.
