Thanks it feels good to be back!

Hello Sister Gail,

I read about your hospital stay and your progress. I'm very happy that you're home and doing so well. You will be in my prayers. I just brought my wife home from the hospital in Oklahoma City last night. She had an esophogeal hernia repaired and is also doing extremely well. God is so good to us.

Good News !!! .... "it always comes, in threes"

Mary has been drinking [eating] "Build-Up"s
They are a food supplement for people with digestive problems
and 'half a serving', of a chicken curry that I made earlier

With Mary's 'problem' in mind
I shredded and chopped the chicken real small
she placed the remaining 'half' into the microwave
to continue/ throw away later
So, along with the soups and those special fortifying foodstuffs
and also her nibbling at, 'this and that' has enabled her to regain 3 pounds
Down from her usual weight of 9 stones 4 lbs [110 pounds]
to just 6 stones 3 lbs [87 lbs] is, for-sure, much reason for her concern

We will know next week
what it is, that they have found to be the reason for the surgery they are going to undertake

We are back, from the hospital

We saw the surgeon,
who explained that Mary has inoperable esophageal cancer
It began at the joint between her esophagus and her stomach
and is inoperable, because
it has already metastasized beyond the lining of her stomach
She will begin chemotherapy after Christmas

He was talking in terms of months, rather than years
but offered
that some active ladies [as Mary is] have been cured [with chemo treatment]
~from this stage.... so, we have 'HOPE'

If you are led to pray for us, please, do so

your Bro'

My post op visit to the surgeon was yesterday, and he was very pleased, considering how sick I was!
I need to rest through the holidays, and then can gradually resume activities as tolerated.
That won't be hard because I tire very easily, but it is very humbling to wait on the Lord in this, depend on others, and not be able to help Jim with snow removal and holiday preps!

Praying you have a safe and enjoyable trip, Shirley


I am so sorry to hear that Dave
My thoughts and prayers are with you and Mary, that the Lord's Presence, strength, hope, healing, and peace, will be on you both moving forward
