Good morning all! This is the start to a very busy week and I am writing this post with a peace in my heart knowing all that is to happen over the next few days, will happen just as it is planned to. Although it is extremely terrifying surrendering your worry to a plan where the details aren't exactly shared with you, it is also completely liberating.

Today Luis will start his new treatment. The protocol consists of a simultaneous infusion of four different chemos over many days. I know what you're thinking, "thats a lot for a person to have to handle" and you are exactly right. My mind still cannot wrap around the fact that it is humanly possible for a person to receive four chemos. Having only one chemo is horrible and having a combination of four is, for lack of better words,  utterly exhausting.  I am updating and also asking for a favor in return. I ask you, whoever is reading this, to think of Luis and say a prayer of healing for him. And if you feel moved to, send him a quick word of encouragement. Right now we need to remind him that he is not alone and has many people who love him and are thinking of him. I will post pictures and updates as the week progresses and express any specific prayer requests.

On Tuesday, Luis will be having chemo, and I will have my ultrasound on my neck. We will compare the measurements of the spots to the ones taken from January. We are praying and hoping that the spots have grown smaller and or diminished. However, whatever the results, we will still sing our praises to the LORD because his plan is good, so good.

"What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?" Romans 8:31
