The Larry Heuer Orchid
The Lance Heuer Orchid
In tribute to my real life husband Lance... who has a real Orchid named after him (see above)
And in lovely memory of Larry Heuer, who died in 1991 from AIDS. May his Orchid creations in real life live on forever.
I played in tale 2, but had to stop due to cancer. Im all well now and have already passed 23 tests, Opened the Test of the Coalition, passed 1 law and Im looking forward to ending with this tale. (I'm Already prepaid until June 2008!!)
I already fill the role as a mediator for local 7L people, so the only true reason to become DP is passing a test, anyone can fill a mediator roll without becomeing DP. Of course being a DP does let everyone know you can help mediate. The other reason to become a DP is to become Oracle for leadership. There are so many already great players who are DP and passed other leadership tests, Im sure by this point the oracle is amoung them :-). I have 4 level 2 cartouche certs, just waiting on a open spot. I have passed the other 3 leadership tests currently out. I'm active as one of the elders of 7L regional research guild (SLACK), I work with helping people pass bureaucrat. I enjoy helping others and look forward to doing it not only for 7L area, but all of egypt.
My husband Potamo is a good and trustworthy person, I feel he has proven to the community that he is a good person and I personally feel he would never interfer with my DP role in any way.

The end of July I started feeling sick, I just felt like throwing up all day long. The Lord told me to go to the doctor then, but with our trip coming to Virginia, I decided not to go. We when on our trip to Virginia to see Lance’s family August 2, and while we were there I didn’t really notice any sickness, I was taking motion sickness pills for car travel. We got home August 12th, and a couple days later the sickness started up again. I thought at first I might have a mild case of West Nile Virus, as I had gotten several mosquito bites, but by the end of the month I had lost 14 pounds and decided it would be best to see the Doctor.
The doctor called on Tuesday Sep 6th, he said he was concerned because all my blood levels where off, so he was going to contact my insurance and have me seen by a specialist. Friday morning September 9th, I woke up feeling really good, it was the first day that I hadn’t felt sick for about 6 weeks. My doctor called me around 11:30 am to tell me he had gotten approval for the specialist and that I was going to be going to the hospital for a bone marrow biopsy that very day. For the last 6 weeks, I had been confessing that I was healed in the name of Jesus; so going to the hospital ASAP as the doctor put it was shocking.
Doctor Tom Woliver was my new doctor, he is an oncologist, I was also brought up to the Oncology floor of the hospital, 6 central. At the time, I didn’t know oncology meant “Cancer”. That was probably a good thing; I might have been a little more freaked out with the entire process. We did a bone marrow aspiration Saturday morning. The doc came back up to my room about 1 hour later to tell me that I had acute Leukemia, later we found out it was Acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), one of the most common forms of leukemia to have.
Needless to say, my entire life just felted turned upside down, Lance and I were both crying and all I could think about was my kids, they needed their mommy! There was no way I could die from cancer; my kids needed me, Lance needed me.
Now it was time to get back to my faith. For the last two years, Satan has been telling me he was going to kill me. I knew that he wanted me dead so my family would fall apart and lose their faith in God, the faith we have worked so hard over the last 2 years to build up to where we are now.
I called Pastor Ray right away, I told him the Doctor said that I had leukemia, as I told everyone the same thing, the doctor said. I refused to accept was Satan was trying to take me out with, so I refused to claim it. That was my first stand on my faith, my confession of my mouth. Lance and I continued to claim I was healed in the name of Jesus. The doctor wanted to start chemotherapy Sunday, 7 days of intense chemo as I told pastor Ray.
That Sunday, he let our church know about it, and Lance brought me the CD to listen to Pastors message. While listening to Pastor Ray telling everyone I had 7 days of intense chemo, and Lord said to me “the walls of Jericho”. I knew as soon as the Lord said that to me that all would be fine, I would make my march around the Leukemia Satan was trying to kill me with and after those 7 days I would have my Victory!!
About the 5th day of being in the hospital I noticed something that was truly a miracle, Satan who had been telling me he was going to kill me for the past 2 years, wasn’t talking to me anymore. I had not heard one word from Satan for at least 4 days. I then realized that God was truly with me, and he was covering me from Satan from head to toe, I felt the closest to God I had ever been before in my entire life, I knew all his glory was covering me and protecting me from Satan.
I also believe that God aloud me to feel sick so that I would seek medical attention. As I found out, most people don’t even know they have leukemia until they are really sick, and could have had it for many months. I had only had it for about 6 weeks, the same amount of time I had felt sick. The reason I felt the slight sickness was aloud by God, was because the day I went to the hospital the sickness stopped completely. He just wanted me to get into the care of the doctor, and had I not felt sick, I wouldn’t have gone to the doctor at all.
I refused to hear anything negative from the doctor, he wanted to tell me what could go wrong, but I told him I didn’t want to hear any of that, and explained to him that if he told me, Satan would try to make me think about that stuff and manifest it in my life. He respected my wishes, and I got the best-case scenario. He said I would be in the hospital 4-5 weeks, best case was 3 weeks. I left after 3 weeks 4 days!!!
My chemo went extremely well, I wasn’t sick from it, and I was able to keep up my positive attitude and was joking with the nurses and other staff. I accepted Jesus as my lord and savoir many years ago. I know that Jesus had already suffered this infliction for me, the infliction Satan was trying to kill me with. I thank Jesus for his sacrifice on the cross for me. I thank the Lord for sending his son to die for me, so that I could be healed in the name of Jesus.
I confessed my Healing to everyone who entered my room, and refused to think otherwise, I knew the walls of Jericho where coming down soon!! I was moved to a different room, a little smaller with no view, but a day later was blessed with a very large room, two beds, one for lance, and a table and chairs, all to myself. The hospital blessed me with a laptop loaner with Internet access, something the nurses on 6 central had rarely ever seen happen, yes the Lord was working in my favor for sure.
The hospital staff and doctors all remarked how I didn’t look or act sick, and that I was a model patient, they wished all patients where as easy as I was to care for. While I had a few minor problems, Satan was still trying his best, I thank God that Satan’s Best is not even 1% of God’s best. My wisdom tooth caused a small infection, I developed a rash from the tape on my body, my arm didn’t like my first pick line, and I also developed a drug allergy to one of the medications I was taking.
While in the hospital I received 8 bags of red blood cells and 6 bags of platelets. I would encourage all of you to donate to the local blood bank to help restock that blood I was given. I accepted all the blood without any adverse reactions.
While there I was able to testify to the nurses about my experience with God and how good he was. I told many about when I had poured boiling water over my hand, only later that day to find a Handprint of my Angel on it. Boiling water should have burned my hand with 1st or 2cd degree burns, with blisters and 2-3 weeks of recovery, but because I said “Lord Help me” the second it happened, I was able to activate my angel to help me and he covered my hand with his. There was a little redness and in two days the pain was gone completely, no blisters ever formed, I was truly blessed to have seen my Angels’ hand on mine.
I also would share other stories of miracles that I had heard here at church with the nurses and staff. I feel I was able to really touch some of them, and I’m sure I left a lasting impression on them. My strength in my faith was very clear to everyone and they all respected my faith and said it really helped me to conquer the leukemia.
I can’t imagine how people can go through what I have been through without God’s help. My faith has been strengthened and the Power of the Lord has become manifested in my life. I know that with God’s help, I can conquer anything Satan puts in my way. Most of us have seen The footprints in the sand print, where God carries the person at their most trouble times, this is something that has really manifested in my life, I truly feel God was carrying me through this and still is today, the love and power I feel in my life today is greater then anything I have ever felt, I feel so loved and taken care of by my heavenly father, I can’t even express how great it is, their just isn’t words to describe what I feel.
When I saw the Doctor on Friday, he was very pleased with my results. All my Blood counts look great and there are no bad cells to be found, the leukemia is completely gone. A sample of my bone marrow had been sent to the City of Hope in Los Angeles, they checked my chromosomes to see which had mutated into the leukemia, but found that all my chromosomes where fine. I told the Doctor that is because the leukemia came from Satan and they wont find him in my body because I’m healed in the name of Jesus!!
I would like to thank all of you for your prayers of healing and support, I’m sure that you all helped in my fast recovery and my upbeat outlook on this entire situation. I would also like to thank Pastors Ray and Beth, they have been so supportive, and have either come to the hospital or called me every single day I was there. They will surely be blessed beyond measure for their faith and support they give to us as a congregation.
Well I'm still here, and Im still without Leukemia!! I know that I will never get it back and I stand strong on my faith. As I go back from time to time to see the nurses on 6 Central... they tell me stories of how people die weekly because they dont have faith, they just crumble and accept the bad news, and die. Its so much more important then ever before to share a my story, it may help someone get well. It doesn't matter what bad thing is in your body, it doesn't belong there!! Keep always a happy positive attitude and get your faith going, you will Live the good life and recover to see your kids grow up, graduate from college, get married and be there for your grand kids and GREAT grand kids! Enjoy life to the fullest!!
