Dr. Stein knocked on Mike's door just a few minutes ago. He walked in and said, "We have good news...your bone marrow is clear." He said that Mike will continue to stay at Vanderbilt for about 2 more weeks, allowing his body to heal and after that he can go home for a while. Praise the Lord for those are the sweetest words that I've ever heard!!
I don't know when I cried more, when I heard the diagnosis or when I heard "Good News". I'm pretty sure I am crying more now. We have prayed without ceasing - in the car, in the shower, in Commonwealth Stadium, you name it - and let the Glory be to God for hearing our prayers, comforting each of us, and providing a healing that only He can provide! Please do not let up in your prayers and keep lifting up Mike and Melisa.
The results that he got today provide about 90% of the total testing that was performed. The other 10% should come soon. As with any unknown, there is a chance that the 10% could change everything. We will not allow ourselves to dwell on this. Instead we will look at the positive result that we were just given and keep our hearts with the Lord. As always, Mike and Melisa have continued to place their faith in God and trust that He will lead them the right way. Their job is to follow His lead and they have been diligent in doing just that. They are both such a great example, a great inspiration for all of us and I am so lucky to have them both in my life!!
Thanks for your prayers! Keep up the good work!
Jesus Saves!

Such good news! I'm so happy. I think I relaxed a bit and almost collapsed! Keep praying hard as ever and remember, it's one day at a time! We'll be down later today. Wonder what it will be: Mellow Mushroom, P.F. Chang's?? Hmmm! We'll check it out!
I just KNEW the IU pants would bring you good luck!!! Believe in the TRADITION, baby!
I read a funny quote yesterday that somehow seems fitting today-- "Here's a test--- to find out if your mission in life is finished... if you're alive-- it isn't!". Kinda like the big man upstairs saying get back home and get on with it!
Woohoo!! Isn't it amazing what faith and prayer will do?? So excited to hear the awesome news!
Go Mikey, it's yur birthday, gonna party like it's yur birthday!
Much love and hearts.
AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME!!! Everyone is so relieved! We know there's still recuperating to do, but you've made it across the big hurdle, it has to get easier from here on out! Keep up the faith, we're sure you're smiling, and we'll see you Saturday!
Hey now, if y'all are talking about Mrs. Ricketts from Cairo - I liked her!!! But yes, I was only there 1/2 a year and yes, I was teacher's pet...imagine that, huh?
JESUS SAVES!!!!
Love and prayers,
Earp, McKee, and our little sluggers!
Outta sight! Fantastic! Awesome! Hurry up and start packing for that trip to Hendo...."back where it all began." Oh, yeah!
XXXOOO and a Big Ol' "Jesus Saves"!!
We are thinking and praying for you both often. Please let us know if there is anything we could do or help with. Hopefully if Melisa gets a chance, she will call me if she is in town or when convenient.
Love to all who are helping in everyway.
Angela has all of my numbers as well as your mom.
Call me baby girl I might be able to help a little.
