Tuesday noon update

Mom has been sleeping intermittently. There is a lot of noise from her roommate, the hall, and from all the machines around her, making sleep difficult. Also, technicians and nurses are always coming in to take vital signs and conduct new procedures. Mom has been quite sad that her cancer is stage IV. She has been crying on and off. Otherwise she seems to be becoming more responsive and moving more. Dryness in her mouth, an ill-formed face mask, a sore throat, and itchiness on her legs are her principal sources of discomfort.

Anna, Stephen, Andrew, and Elizabeth - Grace as a river shall flow and Peace to worldy minds unknown is with us. He Himself, the God of all peace, will sustain your hearts.

Paul and Joanne, He is called Faithful and True, The Great Physician, and Oh the Word! And He will wipe away every tear! Oh every tear!

Rev 21:5-And He who sits on the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And He said, Write, for these words are faithful and true.

Don't let the letters, numbers, grades of this disease dishearten you because even the specialist of specialists does not truly comprehend them, but there is one who does and has control over all these things...Jesus, our Great Physician, God, and Savior.

We Love You,
Stephen and Juliana

Dearest saints,
The church prayed for you and your family last Tuesday as soon as we heard the news. We are praying for you all continually. May you experience the Lord as your rich grace, strength, love, and comfort. Thanks for all the updates on Joanne's care and for the specific prayer requests. May you stand firm on all of our dear Lord's promises at this time. May Christ continue to be glorified through all of you! Much love and grace to you in Christ! Joyce and Michael
