I am so conscious of the fact that people will read my blog and think that it's about me. This is far from the truth, it is all about experiencing a loving God whilst we walk through a difficult situation.
Firstly, let me give you the progression of events:
- Donovan began to feel a little un-well last week - he put it down to some stress that he had to walk through.
- By the weekend, he was experiencing some muscle spasms on the left side of his rib cage.
- The pain increased to the point where we decided to bring him to Duke University Hospital's Emergency Room, yesterday morning. After a relatively short time, the diagnosis came back: leukemia. The muscle spasm's were caused by the enlarged spleen trying to cope with the cancer cells.
- Further tests were run including a bone marrow extract to study further, and to determine what type of leukemia is present.
- Last night Donovan was admitted into the Oncology ward at Duke
As I have dealt with all of the emotions and thoughts I can honestly say no matter what, we will all come through this, and the Name of Jesus will surely be lifted up. As a good friend of mine said yesterday, they defeated Satan with the Word and the word of their testimony.
So let me say this very strongly, we chose to believe that Donovan is healed of this sickness and that he will recover. As we have been overwhelmed with prayers, thoughts & messages from all our friends all over the world using Face Book, Instant messenger, "What'sUp" and texts, we are very grateful for your support.
Here is what we are praying over Donovan today, I trust that you will declare this over him with us who are with him in his room:
Isaiah 53: 4 & 5 Surely he took up our pain
and bore our suffering,
yet we considered him punished by God,
stricken by him, and afflicted.
5 But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on him,
and by his wounds we are healed.
