Update

These photos were taken this morning. 



Next week, on Novemeber 11th, Mom and Dad will be going to the next appointment at Mayo Clinic.  This will be with Dr. Coleman in the Oncology Department.  (We have seen this doctor once before.)  Mom also has a couple earlier tests that morning.  She'll have her blood drawn and a chest x-ray...those test results will be discussed with Dr. Coleman at 12:45pm on 11/11/10.

How is Mom doing these days...you might be wondering?    Well, Wednesday was actually her best day!  Praise the Lord!  Her eating was better and her pain was lower.  Now, Thursday and today are a little different.  Dad had to increase her pain medicine as her discomfort/pain has increased.  Moving around and eating has also become more difficult.

A Specific Prayer List:
Wisdom for Dr Coleman, the appointment on 11/11 and Mom's future treatments
God's wisdom & peace for Don and Linda
Comfort for Linda's body
For eating and walking to become easier and more desirable

We are also anticipating more friends/family visiting this weekend and next week.  Please, pray for safety as they are all traveling from far distances.  Aunt JoAnne (Linda's sister), Uncle Tom (Linda's brother), and Grandma May (Linda's Mom) are coming this weekend.  Next week, we are also anticipating a visit from Lisa (Don and Linda's daughter), Pastor Steve and Pastor Reece (Two of their pastors from Arkansas!)  Thank you so much for supporting Don and Linda by your prayers, cards, calls, and visits!  They mean so much and are very appreciated!  We love you all!!
