    Dear Judith...PTL you have at least one doctor who HEARS you and SEES you and was able to recognize the wrongdoing by the other doctor. Having worked in health care, I wouldnโ€™t be surprised if the conversation continued beyond your hearing...what goes โ€˜round comes โ€˜round.
    The January date may seem far off but time passes so quickly the older we get and I know you have a busy life outside of the medical. Prayers continue.

    Thanks everyone who prayed for my important eye exam this week, my age related macular degeneration is stable and no increased pressure. I do have scar tissue from cataract surgery but I need time to consider treatment (or not). Next week I have some scans and labs related to my rare blood cancer diagnosis and would appreciate prayers...my hope would be for a miraculous cure (there is none outside of God) but would love to at least hear โ€œstableโ€...the lab numbers have been more worrisome this year. Thank-you to all prayer warriors. Please leave any prayer requests you might have...I do check this thread on a regular basis and am happy to add you to my prayer list...Blessings to all, JC <3 ๐Ÿ™

    JC, First I Praise God for answers to prayer for the Good Report that the macular degeneration is stable and no increased pressure. Praise the Lord! God is Good! I am so sorry to read about the Rare Blood Cancer diagnosis you have, I didnโ€™t know that, my prayers are with you as you have the Scan and Blood work next week. I am believing for a Good Report: it would be wonderful to hear as you said โ€œStableโ€ and better yet, that our God will bring complete Healing from the Crown of your Head to the tips of your toes to the Glory of God! Amen! Praise ye the Lord! ๐Ÿ™

    Barb, my prayers are with you; I didnโ€™t know you have AVD as you said above and as Marilyn has also. My prayers are with you both for Godโ€™s Healing to flow over you both to the Glory of God! ๐Ÿ™

    Thank you JC Linda, Susan, Marilyn, Sandi and Barb for all your prayers and support! You are so appreciated! ๐Ÿ™โค๏ธ

    Barb - praying for your vision problems. Our sight is so precious to all of us.

    JC - praises for the good appointment and that your macular degeneration is stable. My husband was just diagnosed with the beginnings of symptoms of this disease. I will also pray for your rare blood cancer. I pray that your scans and lab results will stabilize this coming week.

    Judith - Our prayers continue for you that strength will be given to you as you prepare to move and as your continue to have treatment to you face.

    I have 6 more days of antibiotics then the return visit to the ENT to recheck my abnormal findings in my sinus and throat. I would love to have it all gone and to be able to schedule my hip replacement by the end of October.

    Linda, my prayers continue for you that the next 6 days of taking your antibiotics will prove to have worked and the abnormal findings your ENT originally found in your sinus and throat has been resolved. I am believing you will hear your ENT say no abnormal findings were seen in the re-check. I look for that kind of report. I am trusting Jesus with you for your healing and for your Surgeon to reschedule the Hip surgery ASAP.

    Thank you Everyone for your ongoing prayers.

    I continue my prayers for you Linda, Barb, Marilyn and for JC

    God Bless you allโ€ฆ๐Ÿ™

    Thank you all for your updates. Every one of you is in my prayers. Take courage and strength in your faith in the Lord, the Great Physician! I am so glad you all trust in Him. He hears all of our prayers and does answer us in His time.

    Please do keep Colin in your prayers. His back pain can be severe. He has quite advanced Osteoporosis, Osteoarthritis and many other serious health conditions which are affected by pain - Coronary Artery disease, type 1 Diabetes, Epilepsy, and he has lost hearing completely in one ear, needs a hearing aid for the other, has virtually lost all sight in one eye and needs thick glasses for the other...it is hard for him to be in constant pain as well. He's a trooper who acts like nothing is wrong. Others don't even guess that he has health issues. But he has.

    Susan, You and Colin are so much alike...strong, optimistic and able to continue ADL despite having multiple discomforts and limitations. I continue to pray for you both. <3

    Praying Godโ€™s abundant blessings for everyone on this Team with Judith our faithful leader for so many years.... <3

    Jeremiah 17:14: "Heal me, LORD, and I will be healed; save me and I will be saved, for you are the one I praiseโ€.

    Isaiah 40:29: "He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak".

    Tomorrow I am at the hospital for follow up with my Surgeon. He is doing some procedures getting me ready for the 2 weeks I am in the Hotel while my place is undergoing renovations. Thank you for your prayers. Will update you tomorrow.

    Judith, as you undergo some procedures today with your Surgeon, I pray you feel the Presence of our Holy God in every conversation and every treatment. <3 I pray everything goes smoothly and that you recover quickly. Also praying for strength as you prepare moving into the hotel during the renovations. In Jesus Name, Amen <3

    Amen, this morning I had an awesome time with the Lord! I was filled and prayed up ready for today! God is Good!

    My Surgeon feels the lower face and lips will do best with Laser Surgery. He will continue to remove the diseased tissue every 2 to 3 weeks, I have found weekly has been way too much. And the Surgeon says 2 to 3 weeks is fine and I am to continue with the treatment my Oncologist put me on for 30 days, then I am back to see both Oncologist and Surgeon when I am back to my home after the Renovations.

    And yes, Linda and Susan your prayers were answered. The Lord helped me today and gave me his strength to get thru the procedures. I felt the presence of the Lord and was filled with Godโ€™s Comfort and Peace.

    I am at the Hotel on Tuesday October 1st. They have full WIFI and Internet services so I will be able to be here with you all for the 2 weeks I am there.

    Thank you for your prayers. God Bless you all!

    Evening Hello All

    I am at the Hotel now, checked in last night, I was so exhausted I ended up by going to bed, just couldnโ€™t stay awake. Prayer was sure answered as Canstar ended up by packing my wheelchair Foot and leg rests and at one point weโ€™re looking for them. As you know any medical equipment is so expensive so I was so relieved that they found them and delivered them to my Hotel Room. What a relief, Praise God!

    Late this afternoon the Hotel Manager Josh came to my door carrying a beautiful plant with a lovely card from my Pastor and Church Famili! They wanted to bring some cheer to me to brighten up my temporary accommodations. God is so Good! He supplies all our needs. Praise the Lord!

    Praying for you all. Glad to have your prayer requests. ๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’š and thank you for praying for us.

    Lyn is having a rougher day today as pain meds are wearing off. She is still in hospital.

    Colin's back was quite bad yesterday. I got him to rest and put pain cream on his back. He got dinner in bed. He seems to be in a bit less pain today but he is also on adrenalin because our son and granddaughter are here. They make him very happy ๐Ÿ˜Š

    Matthew 18:20 says "For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them." We gather together as women who love the hurting (emotionally and physically) people in our lives and ask for a blessing on them. Help us to be an example of your unconditional love as we lift them up to you in Jesus' name.
