A trip cut short

Our family went to Elim lodge after the OK from Doctors.We enjoyed two days with the Brown relatives from Ontario.We were glad to have made it,but new symptoms of pain and changed sensation in Dave's lower body forced us to come back.We were transfered on tuesday the 28th of July from the Peterborough hospital to our CharlesLemoyne hospital on the south shore because they could not do tests and treatments in a timely fashion there.Later on Dave's legs became too weak to support him.
Yesterday,the MRI of the spine showed as expected compression of the spinal cord at the mid back level(T4), and he had the first of 5 radiotherapy treatments to that site.
We pray and hope
Our car and children stayed behind with our relatives who will take care of them till the end of the vacation week and bring them back.
In the midst of our troubles we came across the following verse, chosen for us by a friend:"Call upon me in the day of trouble (in french-distress);I will deliver you, and you will honor (in french-glorify) me "
This verse has really encouraged us to look for God's deliverance in this time of distress.
