This just wasn't something that I was ready to do...until now. <br />
<br />
I'd love to post the photos of Linda's memorial services. I know that I saw some cameras there. If you happened to take some...could you email them to Jenny? If you need my email...just leave a comment below and I'll contact you.<br />
<br />
I want to have this blog turned into a memory book about Linda. So, thanks for the help with the photos. If you want to keep in touch with us, here is the Rochester McCutcheons' family blog address:<br />

We are going to spend a few wonderful days with Grandpa Don over Easter in Arkansas. I will be blogging about our time together on our family blog posted above. <br />
<br />
Have a beautiful Easter!!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8566999305855308193.post-40994500967750848302010-12-08T07:20:00.000-08:002010-12-08T07:20:26.527-08:00Linda McCutcheon's Obituary<span style="font-size: x-small;">Linda Sue McCutcheon, formerly of Bayfield, WI, went to be with the Lord on Thursday, December 02, 2010 at Saint Mary’s Hospital in Rochester, MN. She was 58. Linda was a resident of Siloam Springs, AR.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Linda was born to George and May Pinckney of Bayfield on January 27, 1953. She married Donald McCutcheon on December 5, 1970 in Bayfield at Faith Baptist Church. Their marriage was an example that their children strive to emulate. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">They celebrated their 40</span><sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span> anniversary this year.</sup><br />
<br />
Linda graduated from Bayfield High School in 1970, and the Wisconsin Indianhead Technical College—Ashland with an Associates Degree in Administrative Assistant in 1993. During her life she had many wonderful life experiences. She worked at M&I Bank of Ashland, Ashland Health and Rehab, the family business; McCutcheon Builders of Bayfield, and Arvest Bank of Siloam Springs,AR.<br />
<br />
Linda immensely enjoyed quilting, family gatherings, celebrations, and church involvement. She played piano and organ for Faith Baptist Church for about 40 years, and was a fervent cheerleader for all her children’s activities. <br />
Linda displayed a deep faith in Jesus Christ as her Savior. She had a sincere peace about facing her departure from this earth. This, along with the love and support of her family and friends, is what helped her "finish well".<br />
<br />
Linda is survived by her husband Donald (Siloam Springs); her daughter Lisa (McCutcheon) Halim and husband, Mohammed Halim (Dublin, CA), daughter Deb (McCutcheon) Meierotto and husband, Jay Meierotto (Ashland); her son Mark McCutcheon and his wife Jenny (Rochester, MN) and son Alan McCutcheon and his wife Sarah (EauPinckney (Ashland); her brothers Dick Pinckney (Uncasville, CT) and Tom Rubenoff (Brookline, MA); and her sister, JoAnne Dormady (Ashland). She is also survived by 12 grandchildren: Miriam and Adam Halim; Parker and Christian Meierotto; Hannah, Carter, Grace, and Nora McCutcheon; Sophie, Sydney, Carson, and Cate McCutcheon. <br />
<br />
Linda was predeceased by her father, George, and her grandson, David Halim. <br />
<br />
There are two memorial services scheduled: Friday, December 10 at Faith Baptist Church in Bayfield and Monday, December 13 at First Baptist Church in Siloam Springs, AR. Visitation for both services is at 10:00am, with the service to follow at 11:00am. A lunch reception will be provided following the Bayfield memorial service.<br />
Thank you to Faith Baptist Church in Bayfield, WI; First Baptist Church in Siloam Springs, AR; Christ Community Church in Rochester, MN; and several other congregations who have supported us. Our family has been—and continues to be—carried along by your prayer and support.<br />

Well, you will have an opportunity at each service to share. There will be an "open mic" time in Bayfield and in Arkansas. We (the family) just wanted others to have a chance to share...if that was your personal desire.<br />
<br />
Also, this will not be the last blog post. I will be sharing photos from each memorial service. Our very last blog post - will be a time for everyone to share some words of encouragement to Don in the comment section.<br />

She passed away, very peacefully at 2:30am - December 2nd, 2010. Lisa and I had the privilege of being with her when God called her home. <br />
<br />
All of Don and Linda's kids were by her side yesterday. It was wonderful for everyone to have a chance to tell Mom how much she was/is loved. Mom was also able to express her love and say goodbye to her family.<br />
<br />
The family is doing good but we are all very tired. It was a long night/morning. Please, pray for rest for the family as they begin to plan two memorial services. God has been by our side every step of this journey. We will greatly miss Mom but we are glad that her pain is over.<br />
<br />

<div align="center"><strong><em>2 Corinthians 12:9-10 - "But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.</em></strong></div><div align="center"><br />

She is at St. Mary's Hospital in Rochester, MN with Dad, Mark and Jenny by her side. <br />
<br />
All of Don and Linda's kids are coming to be with her today...to celebrate her life. We are all so blessed by this woman called, Linda McCutcheon. Unknownnoreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8566999305855308193.post-79176849103857861652010-11-30T20:18:00.000-08:002010-11-30T20:18:51.085-08:00A new prayer request (11-30-10)Please pray for Mom. She has been experiencing severe pain to the point where Dad can't help her. So we had an ambulance transport her to the Emergency Room to get her pain levels managed. She was admitted to the hospital and will be staying at least tonight.<br />
<br />
On a positive note, we're so thankful that God orchestrated the premature visit of Sonny (Dad's older brother) and his wife, Margaret. They were not scheduled to arrive until Thursday night; but then, as they were traveling north, Margaret changed her mind (fearing the weather). As a result, Margaret is volunteering to stay at the hospital tonight so that Dad can get much-needed sleep. Praise God for His glimpses of mercy, and for getting Margaret's attention!!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8566999305855308193.post-13568749963981933072010-11-29T19:06:00.000-08:002010-11-29T19:06:34.278-08:00Specific Prayer RequestsHere are two current (and specific) prayer requests:<br />
<br />
1. Linda's sleep has been very restless. She is struggling with bad dreams again. She also wakes up thinking that she is experiencing breathing problems...even though her breathing is actually fine. Mom's lack of sleep also directly affects Dad's amount of sleep. Please, pray for peaceful rest for both Linda and Don.<br />
<br />
2. Mom is also experiencing some stomach pain. We currently aren't sure what the cause is. Although, we do know that her stomach pain makes her appetite disappear. Who would want to eat when their tummy feels icky? <br />
<br />
Please join us in praying for these specific requests!

So, they get a few weeks off to rest, relax and gain more strength. If Mom can get stronger, they can do chemo treatments. The doctors are saying that only 20% of people respond to the treatments with this type of cancer. Hey, we'll take that 20%!!! God doesn't care about the doctors statistics. :) He IS the great physician!! <br />
<br />
On December 6th, Mom will have a CAT scan, echo cardiogram and more blood tests. On December 7th, Mom and Dad will meet with Dr. Coleman and discuss possible future treatments. They will also be evaluating Mom's physical strength - to see what her ability is to handle chemo treatments. Currently, Mom is using her walker.<br />
<br />
On a different note...this week will be filled with great family! Sonny and Margaret (Don's brother and wife from Arizona) are flying in on Sunday...and will be here for a few days. We are also excited to see Lisa, Halim, Miriam, and Adam (from California)who are also flying in on Sunday too. Later on in the week, we get to see Alan's and Deb's wonderful families as Thanksgiving gets closer. It will be so much fun to have the whole family together again for a few days!! We are also very blessed to have such wonderful friends here in Rochester, MN and Eau Claire, WI! We have so much food being given to us on Thanksgiving from many thoughtful people in those towns. Thank you, thank you, thank you to ALL those ladies and families that are giving to the McCutcheon family this Thanksgiving Day!!! The generosity has been amazing!

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I also have an answer to prayer to share. Dad and I have been trying to get some medical equipment (hospital bed, walker, shower seat...) in the house for Mom. Well, I learned that it's not very easy to deal with insurance companies...when you are living in a different state! :) Alan suggested that we try the American Cancer Society and see if they can help us. That was great advice, Alan! They referred us to an organization called, "Rochester Medical Mission". They are only opened one day a week (from 7am - 9:30am)...and that was TODAY! The supplies were given out on a "first come - first serve" basis. Dad and Mark left this morning to see what they could find. Well, God was watching out for us. For a $50 donation, they came home with a great electrical bed...walker...shower seat and other needed equipment! Praise the Lord!!! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Her office has finally received the slides from Duluth (in regards to her kidney cancer...about three years ago). That means - Dr. Coleman should know by Wednesday if Mom's cancer is treatable with chemotherapy. Also, Mom's pain is currently better than it was this morning. We are so thankful for that! Lastly, Mom will be staying tonight at the hospital. </em><br />
<br />
At about 12AM this morning, Mom started experiencing some difficulty breathing. Don and Linda also noticed that Linda was starting to retain too much fluid. So, Dad took her to the ER. The doctors found that Linda's potassium was low and that she had some fluid on her good lung. That fluid was the reason for Mom's struggle to breathe properly. The ER staff decided to admit her into the hospital. The doctors in the hospital believe that the fluid build-up is from Linda's calcium "flush" procedure from last week.<br />
<br />
They are most likely keeping Linda for another night. She is on some medication to assist with eliminating the extra fluid in her body. Mom also experienced some severe, lower back pain last night as well. So, the doctors are going to raise her pain medication dosage...to help relive more of her pain. <br />
<br />
Be in prayer for both Don and Linda. Don did not get much sleep last night (as he returned to the house at about 5:45AM) and went back to the hospital mid morning...to be with Linda. <br />
<br />

They were able to flush enough calcium from her body to allow her to come home. Praise the Lord! We are so glad to have her home with us.<br />
<br />
Also, we have a new prayer request to share with you. Last night, Mom had some scary nightmares. These nightmares caused both Mom and Dad to loose much needed rest. Please, pray for Linda's sleep to be protected and peaceful.<br />
<br />
Thank you for your continued prayers and faithful support! As we approach the Thanksgiving holiday, we are reminded of how thankful we are for ALL of you!<br />

Normal range is between an 8 and a 10; Mom is at a 16. So she is currently at Rochester Methodist Hospital, receiving IVs to remove the excess calcium. The cause for the spike is likely the result of the cancer attacking the bones. If it were left untreated, she would have experienced kidney failure. In fact, she may have already been experiencing some symptoms of kidney failure. Her stay at the hospital will help ease these symptoms. <br />
<br />
Also, we learned that the radiation has not caused the tumors to shrink. In fact, the tumor in her chest may have grown. <br />
<br />
In spite of the bad news, there is a praise: her "good lung" has gotten stronger, causing her to decrease her oxygen tank levels from 5 liters to 4 liters. <br />
<br />
Please continue to pray for strength for Dad, as he has averaged about 4-5 hours of sleep per night for the past month, on top of the emotional toll. Pray also for wisdom, both for the doctors as well as for Mom and Dad. Finally, keep praying that God would use all of this for His amazing glory. <br />
<br />
We're so thankful for the support in the form of visits from their eldest daughter Lisa from California (arriving last night) and Pastor Steve and Pastor Reese from their church in Siloam Springs, AR (arriving tomorrow morning), as well as the meals that have blessed us all.

Mom had her tests and appointment with Dr. Coleman who is in Oncology. They found that Linda's calcium levels are too high. So, mom has been admitted into the hospital for the night...so they can lower those levels. I have very limited information...as I was not at the appointment...and I am not currently at the hospital with them. <br />
<br />
They also mentioned that the radiation did very little to shrink the tumors. Again, I am sorry that I don't have a ton of details...I'll update as I get more information.<br />

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

I also want to thank Christ Community Church for the wonderful meals that have been delivered to our door. They are such a blessing to our family/friends that stop and share meals with Mom and Dad.
