It's been quite a busy and eventful week at our home and I wanted to let everyone know what is going on in our personal lives. Lenya has been feeling quite a lot of pain lately (and believe me Lenya doesn't let on much when it comes to pain--she just plows ahead). So here's the run-down:
Monday: Lenya's Ob Gyn detected a pelvic mass upon examination. An ultrasound exam confirmed a 15cm mass present (the size of a large grapefruit)
Tuesday: Blood tests and a pelvic CT scan revealed that the mass is encapsulated(a good thing) but displacing other organs in the area.
Wednesday: CT scan of the lungs was done along with more blood tests. These showed an elevation of cancer cells in the bloodstream.
Thursday: We meet today with a GYN Oncologist to assemble a surgical team and schedule the removal of the mass.
The Heitzigs are really doing great. We have complete peace from God and are thankful for the way God sustains us. Honestly, we feel so blessed to have each other and with God's strength we'll march through this battle like we have other before it. God bless you.

Dee and I are lifting up Lenya in prayer. We're also praying for God's peace and strength to fill both of you daily. We know our loving Father, our Healer, will send abundant blessings on your lives and wisdom to each of the medical personnel caring for Lenya. We will continue praying for you both. We're so very thankful for your love, kindness and prayers on our behalf.
And now I entrust you to God and His care. Acts 20:32

We will be praying for you both for strength and endurance. For we know that He is "able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think" God knew exactly when they were going to find this and it was His perfect timing for you to give Him glory. We love you and miss you. Jim & Kim Spehar, Chandler, AZ
Dearest Skip and Lenya,
Lenya, when I saw you outside the lab on Tues., for some reason I was really concerned, yet I didn't know why. I came home and told Tim I think there is something very, very wrong, but that you seemed happy and at peace. Still you and Skip were in my prayers.
I was very happy to see you and Skip again. I totally understand serious health problems as mine grow day by day. But like you Lenya, I have joy and peace knowing my life belongs to Jesus. Tracy Sheridan
