Summer of success!

The Esther family has had a summer filled with success and adventure!
John and Windsor floated the Grand Canyon!
Afterward, John had a quick visit to MD Anderson for a Parietal craniotomy for a small tumor recurrence. Someone suggested outpatient surgery the next time! He was D/C from the hospital 38 hours after surgery!
The boys and John set sail 3 weeks later in the Bahama's on a high sea adventure with the scouts. Priceless!
Today John is starting new chemo that will attack this tumor from a "different angle".
We are asking God for success and min. side effects! God has delivered over and over again for our family! God is good and He is sustaining us! Thank you! Thank you! Our prayers have been and will be answered!
Blessings!
Carol

New Plan of attack

Even though the scan read as a negative, there was still some area of concern. That being the case, John has decided to have surgery to remove anything of question at MD Anderson, next week. I will be contacting people for meals for the family. THANK YOU! Please pray! John and Carol have peace and are pressing forward with their faith in God to help them!
