A third

Can you imagine if your debt was reduced by a third? What if your pants shrunk by a third? Wouldn't it be wonderful if there was a delicious chocolate cake and you were offered not just a piece of it, but a third?

Today my dad found out that after 6 weeks of treatment (which is part of a clinical trial), his tumors have shrunk by 30%. SHRUNK! This whole time I've been praying for the tumors to slow down or at least stop growing, and they've been shrinking!!! It's the best news. Prayer works. Miracles happen! I'm am so humbled and thankful. I know this isn't the end and things can change (the doctor said he was "catiously optimistic...) but for today I say Yahoo!!!
