From Keith Deck:
Please join us as we pray for my daughter Julie's healing. She has been diagnosed with a cyst on her spinal column that could result in complete paralysis. They referred her to a Neurologist. The appointment is Monday and she is scheduled for a second MRI on Tuesday.

Just a short note to let you know what's happening with Julie. I've been waiting for her to call with Tuesday's MRI results.
She met with a Neurologist on Monday, and he confirmed the initial diagnosis. Her primary care physician gave her the results of the second MRI today. The cyst is 19 vertebrae long. They believe it started with trauma from an auto accident she was in about two years ago, but won't be sure until all tests are run. The Neurologist wants to run nerve damage tests. (She does not like the Neurologist's gruff manner, but he is evidently good.)
Despite some discouraging comments from associates, Julie is choosing to place her trust in God. The MRI was Tuesday, but she commented that the pain and tingling have left since that time.
We are continuing to pray for her peace and her healing. Thank you all for praying with us.
Blessings,
Keith
PRAISE REPORT FROM KEITH DECK:
All,
Since I first wrote requesting prayer for Julie, the pain, numbness, and tingling that had been growing steadily worse have ceased.
Yesterday she went for a consultation following nerve conduction and EMG tests. There is no nerve damage. The Doctor still says the cyst is 13 vertabrae long, but it is very thin and he is not going to recommend surgery. There is no MRI with which to compare the size of the cyst before prayer, but Julie believes that God has healed her and that the cyst will completlely disappear.
Sandy and I are thankful, not only for Juie's healing and physical strength, but that, during these few weeks, we could watch her grow in faith.
Thank you all for praying with us!
Keith
