Aunt Lois has been diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma, a cancer of the blood that affects the bones and weakens them, causing pain and fractures.
She has two broken ribs and three broken vertebra that they are treating with a medication that should help them heal more quickly. In addition, they will be injecting a paste/cement-type substance into her back to strengthen the weak areas. Most patients are able to walk again in about 24 hours after this procedure.
She will begin chemotherapy in about a week, and will live in an outpatient hotel near the hospital. Family members are taking turns staying with her during her treatment.
That's the update! I thank you all for your continued prayers for her and for the family during this season of leaning heavily on the Lord and trusting Him for complete healing in Aunt Lois' body.
A friend, and intercessor here at IHOP said that she was praying for "a Holy BLOOD Transfusion so pure and clean she can feel the quickening of life in every cell". I like that prayer a lot... will join me in agreement for this.
