In Need Tonight! UPDATED Joey & Ian

Ian is in need of prayer tonight as he just had some important scans done. Please pray with me that this cancer is gone!! If you feel led, head over to his mom's blog, An Ordinary Mom, and give her some encouragement as she is trying not to be worried.

UPDATED: Ian's scans were stable! Now praying for the next step. Thank You GOD! :)

Joey is having more issues from this cancer. Below is taken from his CaringBridge site.

To boil this down, it seems like the evidence is pointing toward the cancer causing this. If its something else, they aren't telling us. Results of MRI (4p today) come in the morning I guess. Couldn't find a kidney stone but urine/bladder is filled w/amorphous debris. Microscopic (irregular shaped) crystals, as I understand it. Could cause problems and irritation, but not keep him from emptying his bladder. Preliminary results say he does not have bladder infection. Formal results in morning. So every, literally 5 minutes he grabs himself and asks us to get the urinal, and then either tiny bit drains out, or nothing. He is miserable. And I'm losing my mind. I can deal with almost anything in life, and have been through some stuff. What I cannot deal with is him suffering. Can NOT. Urology resident said they won't cath him again until 300 cc's. he's in torment at 75cc. We're doing another bladder scan now. Thx for prayers. Desperately needed.

UPDATED
My posts moving forward are probably going to be just medical facts and updates. For a bunch of reasons, but primarily bc this is heart wrenching, is the spiritual battle of my life, and extremely personal. The MRI showed "a lot" more cancer (in comparison to the one a month ago), all over his brain, and down his spine. She thought maybe his (still) high heart rate was from a new lesion or cluster on his brain stem. We are waiting to hear more, as far as medical options, if there are any. I will post more as I know more. 

THANK YOU for praying!! 

Psalm 27:3,5,13-14 NIV

Though an army besiege me,

    my heart will not fear;

though war break out against me,

    even then I will be confident.

For in the day of trouble

    he will keep me safe in his dwelling;

he will hide me in the shelter of his sacred tent

    and set me high upon a rock.

I remain confident of this:

    I will see the goodness of the Lord

    in the land of the living.

 Wait for the Lord;

    be strong and take heart

    and wait for the Lord.
