Hey Ladies,
Sorry to miss again Tuesday. I've meant to send in this prayer request for a
few weeks now, but things have been crazy.
My mom has been diagnosed with stage 3 lung cancer. She turns 80 this summer
and has been a smoker for 62 years, so this news isn't too much of a
surprise to any of us. She and my dad are in great spirits for which I am so
grateful. She started chemo last Friday and handled it really well. Her
second chemo is tomorrow and her 6 weeks of radiation begins on Monday.
Could I ask for prayers of strength for her tolerate these treatments
mentally and physically. She's a big wimp when it comes to pain and being
sick, so the mental fight is important.
My sister's husband is finally admitting he thinks he has Huntington's
Disease. It's been a rough few years with him in denial and trying to Kerri
it from the Air Force. Huge praise that he has "come clean" with his Air
Force doctors and himself. It's going to be a tough road ahead for him, my
sister and their two kids (7 & 8 yo).
I appreciate the prayers. It's a lot to process, but with God's grace we
have been level headed dealing with all the news. We know it's His plan and
we just praying for continued acceptance of that plan each step along the
way.
Peace,
Ashley
