Critical Development

Earlier this month I went to the ER.  An MRI taken then showed ominous growth of lesions in the brain.  These were not there last fall.  The medical team put me on radiation treatment immediately.  I just finished last Friday.  I praise God that I am not in pain at this time.
The doctors stressed that the treatment could ease the effects/pressure of the tumors, but not be counted on as a cure.  I now have to plan on possibly 3 months left.   I would appreciate your prayers that my family and I be able to walk those days with God, and to fulfil His priorities for them. 
Thank you, thank you for months and years of prayer and support for us.  We are still in God's loving hands and He has his timing.
Love to each and every one.

Joint pain

    In February I got hit with joint pain so severely, plus a fever, that I went to the ER.  The pain was so great that I could not even stand.  But by the end of their tests, they did not have an assessment.  Since then, about once a month I have had these attacks on my knees and elbows, but they seem to incapacitate me for 2 days and then move on.  So we have been looking for answers.  The oncologist insisted it was not cancer related.  Possibly arthritis.  I would appreciated ongoing prayer for this problem.  Only through your prayers have I had strength to work and carry on.  Thank you so much.
