Pray Ahead of this Week

Prayer warriors,

I am asking you to cover this week with prayer before it even begins. We know the Lord is beyond space and time and that he is already IN the week ahead. We also know that the Lord wants to commune with us, hear our pleas, and be present WITH us, always. Knowing that, we want your prayers to cover every moment of the week(s) ahead.

Here are some specifics:

• Monday is an easy day. This means there are NO appointments and we get to just be a family! Praise God.
• Tuesday Dempsey just has a physical therapy follow-up. We are eager to show off how well he is doing and the huge strides he's made with his mobility and energy. This is also the day for the Chick fil-A fundraiser!!! Have you made your dinner plans accordingly? *smile*
  Please pray for a positive PT appointment and that we can get some more exercises specific to his condition/ needs to continue helping him regain his strength and agility. Please cover the fundraiser in prayer. We would LOVE for the doors propped open because there is a steady line of Dempsey supporters flooding the restaurant. We would LOVE to break all kinds of Chick fil-A records with this three hour time span they are blessing us with. We would LOVE to see YOU!!!
• *Wednesday holds a blood draw for Dempsey. He will be accessed (needle in his chest) and we'll keep it through Thursday's appointments and then have it out.
• *Thursday has another lumbar puncture and chemotherapy infusion.
  Please start praying over the doctors, the staff, Dempsey, Dempsey's body, the efficacy of the drugs, etc. Please pray over EVERY infusion he receives- that each of his organs would be protected, that he would have zero side effects, that he would be courageous, that he would feel nothing negative. Pray that they chemotherapy drugs go into his body, kill ALL the cancer cells, leave the healthy cells, and then leave his body leaving no negative wake behind them. Pray that Dempsey's urinary tracy is strong and not impacted in a negative way. Pray that his digestive system remains balanced with the nutrition and oils regimens we have in place.

Please pray over our marriage. We know that there are several of you who have been covering this specific area consistently, we deeply appreciate that. We have been warned that this cancer journey will test our marriage like nothing we've encountered before. We know this to be true. So, we ask for your prayers. This journey is hard on our marriage. We are grateful for the time and effort we have put into our marriage where communication and learning our spouse's love languages. We are learning how to navigate this specific journey. We think we're doing all right. Perfect? Hardly. But we are stronger together because we have abilities the other doesn't and we compliment one another (not just in the oh, my, you are a looker way either). We struggle. We succeed. We fail. We carry each other. We fall apart in our turn. We are human and we have a child with cancer. See, we need your prayers because we are determined to walk Dempsey into victory over leukemia and have a marriage made out of something that only comes from God.
