Prayers for Wisdom

Proverbs 11:2:
     Pride leads to disgrace
      but with humility comes wisdom.

I have began to look through clinical trial and email doctor friends for advice on next steps. I have come up with a much needed prayer for our next step. We need an oncologist that takes interest in healing Craig and not stopping until he/she does. We need an aggressive go-get-em doctor that understands that my three kids deserve to have their dad for many more years to come. We need prayers on where to turn for that. My college degree is not in medical research or oncology. I am not trained to make medical decision or even lay out the best options. In the world of cancer you have to be your advocate and practically know more than the doctors so that who know the right questions to ask. That is fine, incredibly hard especially when you had no intention of knowing what the pancreas did before October, but fine. But we need someone that is on our side. We need a second opinion that isn't looking to make Craig's life more comfortable. We need someone that will look at things from a 30 year old perspective and if it means taking some risk then so be it. If it means thinking outside the box then so be it. But I am out of energy asking doctors to treat my husband like he has three young kids not like a 85 year old retiree.

So please pray for wisdom on where that special person is that wants to be a part of this miracle healing.

Thanks for everything, especially the prayers.
