8 Days

We are almost done with our eight days of chemo. Tuesday morning is our last dose, and I have to tell you, he has had very minimal side effects. The first dose made him nauseous, so we decided to pray the word every time he got a dose of any kind of medicine. We called this God's medicine, and administered it as needed. After we started this he did fantastic, with only a few times of no appetite and sleepiness, side effects I can handle. As he slept I would make declarations over his body like; your immune system grows stronger every day as does your appetite, the Lord gives His beloved rest and his sleep is sweet, and no weapon formed against you will prosper. After I would do this his appetite would come back, he was rested and the low grade fever that came sporadically would disappear. God's word is so powerful, we have become increasingly aware of this over the past 2 months. Regan had been experiencing blurry vision since this started in October. This was causing some concern with our oncologist who ordered his eyes to be tested by a pediatric ophthalmologist. Her concern was that the leukemia had gotten into the fluid around the brain or had settled in his eyes, which would change his treatment plan to include radiation and lumbar punctures bi-weekly. We started declaring Deuteronomy 34:7 over him, As God was with Moses, so he is with you Regan. Your eyes are not dim, blessed are your eyes for they see and your natural vigor is not diminished. When the ophthalmologist checked his eyes he found no evidence of the leukemia at all, but said the blood vessels near the retina had hemorrhaged due to his blood being so messed up prior to the diagnoses and that it is easily treatable. Hallelujah, the power of God's word prevailed as always! Our all time favorite verse has been Romans 3:4 "Indeed, let God be true but every man a liar."
We declare that every time a bad report comes from the doctor or lab results, we refused to be moved by what we hear from man, and choose instead to stand on the word of God, which is the ultimate truth. "Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken and will He not make it good?" Numbers 23
