A Testimony from Ronda

It has been over a year now that Cheney started having rectal bleeding several times a week. Everything was medically tended to along the way from blood work, "fun" (hahaha) mom-gets-to-do at home stool samples, x-rays, lots of Mirimax and Fletcher's "root beer medicine" as Cheney referred to it, lots of doctor visits, etc...Our pediatrician decided it was time to rule out all the bad stuff when he sent us to Dallas to the pediatric gastroenterologist specialist who did the colonoscopy on Cheney July 8th. He was 90% confident the test would reveal juvenile polyps, which it didn't and left us all puzzled as 5 of the 6 biopsies returned normal. The bleeding was so much worse after the colonoscopy due to the obvious invasion inside her little 3-year old body. The following Sunday, July 13th, we had an awesome prayer service at church. Trey and I both felt led to take Cheney down for prayer. She was annointed with oil and our body agreed in prayer as my incredible prayer warrior friend, Heather Waters, claimed God's healing power on Cheney. We all know that with God ALL things are possible and as I am typing this Cheney is listening to Trey's i-pod singing "Blessed be Your Name" at the top of her lungs; I am reminded of God's sovereign grace and that He does give and take away. We give Him all the glory and praise for by His stripes Cheney is healed in the name of Jesus. The following Thursday, July 17th, I was in the bathroom with Cheney when she victoriously exclaimed again as she had done everyday since Sunday "Yeah, mommy, still no blood" to which I replied "Yeah, who healed you Cheney?" She boldly stated "JESUS DID AND THAT MEDICINE AT CHURCH SURE DOES WORK GOOD!"
Yes, it does. We are so thankful for the body of Christ and our church family. Thank you to all of you who prayed for Cheney and our family. God is good and we pray His blessings upon all of you. Most of all YEAH JESUS--THANK YOU!! Cheney has been blood free for 8 weeks and she knows Why and Who did it.

Also, thank you for continuing to pray for Trey. For those of you who know Trey, you know how he is. He is an easy patient most of the time as he has never been a complainer or a whiner. His surgery went well yesterday. We are still waiting the results as his eyeball is still too sore to discover if the double vision disappeared, but with all of you praying, we know the answer to that, don't we? I was comforted by his surgeon who stated, "I will do my best and God will do the rest" right before they took Trey into the operating room. After returning to his recovery room, his nurse, Dwayne, laid hands on Trey and prayed aloud asking God to send his Holy Spirit to quickly heal Trey in the name of Jesus. God is always in the details and yesterday we felt His presence from beginning to end. Again, thank you for standing in the gap for us, God heard and delivered. We love you all.

One More thing, in reference to the previous post: We actually have 2 plates and 7 screws in our little souvenir cup as the Dr called it. hahaha. Trey is relieved to have those out as they were located in the corner of his right eye and bridge of nose area and it hurt to rub his eye.
