Pathology Results

Travis and Jennifer received sad news today -- Dr. Lang's nurse, Anna, said that Travis' tumor was a Grade 3, an anaplastic astrocytoma (cancer). Dr. Lang will be in later today to talk to them.

We know that you understand this is a very difficult day, and we ask that you respect our privacy at this time with no phone calls or visits.

Please continue to pray. We know God is hearing our prayers, and while His answers are different from our desires, we are faithful and know His ways are best.

Travis and Jennifer

Our family was saddened to hear the sad news. I had just read the update and went to retrieve the mail for today. I had received a small devotional book. I turned to the first page and this very fitting poem was the first one in the book.

Children of the Heavenly Fold

What comfort to take our burdened souls
And come before the living God,
For he can lessen every care
And dissipate the darkest cloud.
He's God, and He's all powerful;
He's there to meet our every need.
He stops the stormy winds that blow
And calms the raging waves at sea.
So, when life's cares and burdens press,
Let's come in prayer and bare our souls.
He'll welcome us with outstretched arms...
His children of the heavenly fold.

Psalm 112:7 (NIV) He will have no fear of bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.

Jennifer & Travis,
I can not stand in your shoes but I will stand with you and pray for strength and wisdom. I will lift you up to our Father daily! Trust only in HIM!!! Love and prayers, Trisha Cook

I just heard about about your surgery today from my singles group at Bear Creek Baptist. I am also a survivor of a malignant brain tumor. Dr. Moradi performed the surgery in October 2000 at Memorial City Hermann Hospital. I know this a trying time for you and your family. I pray that God will give you and your family strength and peace to face the challenges ahead. Myself and the BCBC singles will be praying for your comfort and healing. One Bible verse that helped me get through this is Philippians 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."

I have so many people praying for you. My church prayer ministry, my sunday school class, my neighbors, my friends and anyone that I run into that will listen. Know that everyone is with you in prayer and in spirit. You are both in my heart, and I am here for you. There is not a moment of any day that goes by, that you guys are not in my thoughts and prayers. Remember, if there is anything at all that you need, I am here.
