The months continue to click by and it is beginning to feel like Fall here in the Chicago area!
We thank the Lord for each day and truly we can say, ‘His mercies are new every morning’!
A lot has happened since our last update! Sam was able to fly to Los Angeles to be with Kevin for a race there . . . .and, as usual, the two of them had a fantastic couple of days together!
Then, the second week of August, Sam became quite ill with a fever and pain. He ‘just happened’ to be scheduled in Texas for treatment the day it hit him!! (God NEVER misses a detail!) After running various tests, they found that he had an acute infection in his prostate. While everything there appears to be cancer free, the pain was truly horrendous for him. He was in Texas for 10 days of treatment, and they had to stop all cancer therapy for three weeks.
He has ‘bounced back’ with incredible strength and drive! How we thank the Lord for the good health Sam has right now in spite of his cancer . . . . it has been amazing!! He is still fatigued in the evenings, but continues with a ‘regular’ working schedule. He is back on the ‘every-two-hour’ medications, along with all of the other protocol. Our biggest concern right now, is that he is having some coughing with signs of bleeding.
We continue walking by faith and trusting God with our future. God is using Sam in so many ways right now . . . he is counseling businessmen, Dad’s, and young men daily! Many incredible testimonies have come about in the past months . . . what a privilege!!!
Thank you for continuing with us on this journey. We have felt your prayers!! What a blessing to know that ’someone is praying you through’! Not only is that a great song . . . but, knowing we are on the receiving end of it is a humbling experience. Thank you for your prayers . . . we appreciate you more than you could ever know!
We love & appreciate you!
Sam & Ann
