This is a brief update with the hopes that Kelly will slow down enough to
write everyone about his experience, but we've had so many people asking I
felt we needed to respond on maybe a larger scale and request the prayers
and faith of everyone that has followed him for the last 2 years.
Last week we received a call from Kelly's mission president telling us that
Kelly was coming home the next day (Thursday) to have surgery. He had been
having some problems for a few months and they finally figured out what was
going on, he has testicular cancer.
He goes into surgery this morning at 10:00 a.m. to have it removed and to
find out what type of cancer it is and if it has metastasized. The scans
at this point do not appear to show it has spread, however the doctor was
somewhat cautious sharing that because not everything shows up in the scans
and the tumor is very large.
The good news is he's home, in good spirits and courageously ready to face
this challenge, yet is prepared to accept the Lord's will. There is a very
good prognosis for this kind of cancer and we have no reason to doubt that
he will come through it.
We would like join him in expressing our appreciation to all of you who
have written him, prayed for him and rejoiced with him in his service to the
Lord for these last two years.
God Bless you all,
Dave, Carol Ann, Kelly and family
