As I mentioned in the previous post, Nikki went for a brain MRI earlier in the week after her difficult weekend. The results came back today and, after hearing the report and spending a teary afternoon with the family, I asked her what I could post on the blog she just said (typcial)..."Well, the good news is, they've found out what's wrong with my head, but the bad news is, its not very good news :-)"
The short story is that the MRI showed more secondaries (metastasised cancer sites) in the brain. She had so much to say about the neurologist whom she said was fantastic. This is what she wrote in a text this evening - for uploading on the blog:
"What a LOVELY neurologist! Such a special doctor... After reading the radiologist's report on the MRI results from yesterday (which showed more secondaries in the brain) he prayed with us and asked for a miracle. Chatted about how we are ALL facing death every day and none of us know our time, but when we're faced with an eternity with our Father in heaven (in contrast with our very short time here on earth, which seems like "our whole life" but is in fact just a fraction of it)...it makes it so much easier to face death.
All of us have questions, but what I have realised is that one day when we have the chance to ask the questions, the questions will disappear in the light of everything that God is. We will realise that our brains would never have been able to comprehend a fraction of it, but one day we will see clearly, that it was all in HIS PLAN! I loved this saying which I read in a book recently: Everything IS OK in the end. If it's not OK, IT"S NOT THE END!
We're all still holding onto God and now He will be there to walk each day with me. Will just take it one step at a time ...and trust Him."
That's written by one incredible lady! I love my precious sister and honour her for her incredible character, courage and faith in this walk. And her amazing sense of humour which is a gift and never in short-supply.
We thank you for your prayers as we continue to trust God for a miracle of healing in her body.

We're so very sorry to hear the news. But we thank God for you Nix. For who you are, who you are becoming through all this, and who Jesus is becoming in the lives of people who are looking in on your life. We are all, I'm sure, being made uncomfortably aware of our own mortality, and the need for a loving saviour is made all the more apparent. Your humour and the peace you display in the midst of all this speaks boldler, louder and more clearly than a lifetime of sermons. We haven't given up yet and we continue to pray and believe for new mercies everyday. Day by day Nix, we're all with you. Big hugs from Canada.
