Linda was finally able to go home from hospice because she was medically stable and her husband, Clark, was able to take care of her--what an answer to prayer! She is more alert but unable to talk very well except in one-two word phrases on a good day. She is able to communicate via of a picture board which is very helpful to Clark to know what she wants. He is so patient and reading their carepage is like reading a love story--it is so touching to see how his love for her is so evident by his actions and words. I know it gives her strength to fight this terrible disease. She had an experience with angels that he talks about in her carepage. She has been so close to death and is able to tell him what she has seen...So many prayers have been answered and there is a reason she is still with us!

Jackie is home now and receiving chemo twice a week. She is getting stronger everyday but her kidneys aren't doing the greatest. She is trying to get swelling to go down in legs and hands as well as stay up and build up her strength. Her sons are taking care of things and doing quite well. They have grown up and become so responsible through her whole ordeal. She told me she is going to celebrate the gift of life with a very simple Thanksgiving this year with her sons. She is such an inspiration to me!
Please continue to keep them in your prayers and pray for an end to cancer!
Celebrate the gift of life in a simple way this year! Don't do quite as much as you normally do and take time to enjoy your life and those around you--It is not easy with the holiday rush and never-ending lists of things to do but take time to focus on what is important--not urgent-- There is a difference.
Happy Thanksgiving to you all--
