Throughout this journey, we have felt that we have been facing
impossible choices as parents. After having followed the medical plan for the
last three months, their prognosis is not hopeful. They are projecting a very
limited life span after putting Jordan through multiple surgeries and extended
chemo. In light of their prognosis, they have given us the option to bring
Jordan home and discontinue their protocol. Needless to say, this was a
shocking revelation for us. We didn't know that the odds were so poor. All
along, we knew it was life threatening along with difficult treatments but the
last consultation took us somewhat by surprise.
So, we have been quiet because we have been in shock and it took some
time for us to decide what to do. We are thankful for a very understanding
Oncologist who provided the options without judgement.
For months, we struggled through the recommended treatments from one of
the best medical communities in Canada while placing our hope in the finished
work of Jesus. Now our hope lies in the finished work of Jesus alone. So now we're
home with no plans to return to the hospital apart from a scan every few
months.
We know that Jesus paid for and delivered Jordan’s healing. The scans
show that the cancer has diminished significantly. Thank you Jesus! We want the
full result which means the mass above his right knee must go, his leg must
strengthen and the cancerous cells cease to multiply in his leg, spine and arm.
Jordan’s response has been, “It’s a relief to trust in God alone”. So,
whereas it felt that we had two feet in two different canoes, we are now “all
in” for trusting the promises of Christ. We’re holding onto
Plan A because with God, all things are possible.
