Can Someone Say, "Wow!"

Have you ever had one of those days when it just seems like EVERY SINGLE THING is going right? Please bear with me as this might get a little lengthy.

When I was first diagnosed with cancer back in May, my parents saw an Italian oncologist named Tullio Simoncini on television who has been treating cancer with baking soda. It was so interesting and insightful, they hit record on their vcr (possibly the only family in America that still has one) and even made a tape of it for me.

I started seeing Dr. Simoncini all over the internet and watched him several times on Doug Kaufmann’s show, “Know the Cause.” I talked to Mike (the nutritionist I’m working with in Colorado) about the possibility of seeking treatment from Dr. Simoncini. Mike said it would be incredible . . . but highly unlikely as he has now hit the “World Market” and is undoubtedly being pursued by the masses.

A couple of weeks ago my friend and neighbor, Antoniette, sent me an email saying she had talked with Doug Kaufman (a personal friend of hers) about me. He very kindly said he would be glad to help me any way he could. I sent him an email of the ups and downs in this journey toward health I’m on and, among other things, asked him about Dr. Simoncini. He gave me both an email address and phone number. I told another friend and neighbor of mine, Charlotte—fluent in Italian, about him and she invited me to come over. We called the number in Rome on her skype thinking we would get a receptionist. No—it was Dr. Simoncini himself! I talked with him about the actual medical reports from my oncologist and he graciously agreed to treat me. So, David and I are now planning a trip to Rome!

I know Rome sounds rather exotic . . . but in actuality the treatment I’ll be receiving there is quite inexpensive. (You might recall baking soda costs about 50¢ a box!) In addition, David has accumulated miles with American Airlines for two tickets to Rome! God has always been our provider, and now as we are being flooded with medical bills, costly supplements and expensive organic produce, His provision (through many of you) continues to overwhelm us. His hand has been so evident every step of the way.

In the next week or so we have to take care of a few logistical details like renewing my expired passport (wow, wish I would have thought of that before yesterday), setting up childcare for the kids while we’re gone, and packing for my FIRST trip to Europe! (well, unless you count a missions trip to Albania with Teen Mania including a medical emergency to Greece).

Today I’m off to get passport photos and I’m planning on calling Houston to set up an appointment to pay buku bucks for the immediate passport renewal option.

Thank you so much for all of your prayers and support for us. We feel so overwhelmingly loved and cared for by all of you.
