THE MIRACLE IS HERE!!!

We've just gotten a call from Dr. Pressey that Dr. Weiss----the pathologist in Atlanta----has declared PAUL DOES NOT HAVE CANCER!!
He has nodular fasciitis. Here is a definition from the Internet:

"Nodular fasciitis is an unusual benign reactive process affecting superficial and deep fascia. Its rapid growth, rich cellularity, high mitotic activity and poorly circumscribed nature result in it being easily misdiagnosed as a sarcomatous lesion."

Obviously, we are stunned! We will still meet with Dr. Pressey tomorrow to see the CT scan (and the golf ball sized "thing" growing off his collarbone).

All praise to God for this miracle!! Thank God for answered prayers!
Thank you all for your prayers. I am bawling with joy.

More later....

    Stacy and Chris - I read your blog earlier today and began praying for Paul and your family...you've been in my thoughts all evening, and so I came back to send you a comforting word from the apostle Paul, "I have the strength to face all conditions from the power Christ gives me." And instead I get to read about your miracle!! Pete and I are overjoyed for you. Now I can send psalms "Give yourself to the Lord; trust in him and he will help you." What wonderful news! All our love, Kate and Pete

    Crying here in Oz for you, too. Couldn't work out what to type after reading of your afternoon in the park holding Paul and thankfully can stop contemplating how life might be without. So very, very pleased for you and trusting all gets better and better. We tend not to realise how precious they are until a tragedy occurs. Thank you for reminding me how short life might be. LOL Tash

    Stacy and Christopher, I am so glad this is not cancer. I have jut been thinking about Paul so much lately. It brings happy tears to my eyes that he is ok. I just knew when I held him Sunday that he had to be Ok.

    Stacy I am so sorry I have been out of the loop but am so pleased that you have had such wonderful news. Reading the past entries I cannot imagine what you have had to go through and my heart goes out to you all. It is amazing what God can do and how much he can bring people together all praying for a miracle. There must be so many people reading this and praying for Paul.I look forward to hearing more.
    Love Jane W

    Chris informed me this morning while playing hoops and it gave me goose bumps and I could tell a burden was lifted off his shoulders.

    Wonderful news for little Pual

    This is pretty amazing, but I have been following your story and praying for you through our sunday school class members the Vinsons. She forwarded your blog link to me today and I started reading and looking at pictures. We have actually met one another! We spent a long saturday morning sitting at the doc in the box on lakeshore and sharing our stories. I am so happy to hear that everything has turned around so quickly! Please feel free to email me smturner@bakerdonelson.com God Bless! Sara Turner

    Stacy & Chris, Abbey sent our family your blog address earlier this week--it has been our privilege to pray for Paul and your family. What wonderful news to read this morning and witness a miracle--God is so good! We will be anxious for updates and will continue to pray. Debbie & Rew Walker (Abbey's parents)

    I am a friend and fellow Farmers agent of Scott's so he had told me about what was going on. I have added Paul & your family to every prayer list I could. I am so glad God has answered all the prayers. We will continue to pray for you all. God Bless!

    Stacy and Chris,
    We saw Joseph during our recent trip to Chicago and he told us this good news! Pretty amazing. Our congregation here in Oregon has been praying for you and will continue to do so.
    Peace,
    Mira
