Koza's Faith and Fight: Blood Clot

Blood Clot

So after my third week of chemo, the doctor found a blood clot in my inferior veina cava (the spelling may be way off) I had a follow up CT scan that revealed that the clot was 8 cm long. The nature of this clot was not that threatening so they told me to take it easy, and they put me on blood thinners. This is a little unexpected for me but I know with God I can handle all things. I'll be fine but I will be on blood thinners for 3-6 months.

Thank you for your continued thoughts, hopes, and prayers. We will keep the prayer list updated. Your love and support is greatly appreciated.

Prayer Requests

*That we are able to keep the bigger picture in mind- salvation and glorifying God.
*Endurance-For the days Christopher feels exhausted.
*Finances; we're dreading when the bills start coming in; our ability to have very successful fundraisers!
*Wisdom for us and the doctors (that the professionals have the proper plan set up for his case)
*Army ROTC-- that they WILL still want to invest their money in him and give him the time to get back to the physical requirements. Hopefully, he will be able to switch the MS3 (most strenuous) and MS4 (normally the final and easier) year to give him time to get back on his feet.
*The nodule they see in his lungs is a big fat nothing. And that there is NO cancer found anywhere else when we get the scans back.

*The Vascular Surgeon and Oncologist can work together to fix up the blood clot in an as effective and painless way as possible.
*100% HEALING AND in time for him to be back in college for the fall semester AND that he will continue to be healthy (doc says he has a greater chance of getting other types of cancer in the future).
