Just a quick update on this holiday weekend to report that the pathology was (finally) read. We are overjoyed to report that the pathology was a very good report! It revealed that the malignant tumor was fully contained within the eye which was removed. The blastoma had not gone to the optic nerve nor to anywhere beyond a rather safe zone within the eye.
Follow through for Zach therefore includes frequent exams (every 6 to 8 weeks and under anesthesia) to observe the good eye. He will NOT require chemotherapy or radiation.
Next week Monday, July 11th, Zach will have the first of those frequent exams of his good eye. This is a typical protocol for retinoblastoma patients. He will also be sized for his prosthesis at that time which will then be ready in August.
We are so thankful to the Lord for hearing and answering our prayers. You have joined us along the way and we are grateful to you too.
Have a wonderful Independence Day.
Love,
Tim and Sarah

Dear Tim and Sarah and Girls:
God is good! He has lead you through all of this journey with Zach to strengthen your faith and beliefs. I am so sorry you had to go through all of this but, I am so very happy about the Pathology report. Thank you Lord Jesus. I hope all is well. I just got back from a visit with all my Daughters from Clarksville, Tennessee. Jamie is living near base while her husband is back in the states from Afganistan. They will be leaving for Germany in the fall for 3 years. I miss all of you and continue my prayers for Zach and all of you. Take care and Happy Fourth of July.
Love Jan Stokes

Dear Pastor Tim & Sarah:
I received this prayer request from a friend in Florida and have been praying. I am in New Jersey. It amazes me how our LORD brought us together for such a time as this. I must confess your witness as you go through this trial has blessed my heart. Your love of our LORD is so tangible even as you wait. So as you take this process step by step, we will join with you in prayer. In the meantime, we celebrate that the cancer has been contained!! No chemo or radiation is so huge!!
Blessings from New Jersey, Deb
