Yes, I AM a Jon Bon Jovi fan from time to time-and I think right now, the song Livin’ on a prayer is a good description of our life-at least the chorus line!  Last night was very tiring-Kevin is doing ok this morning, but just lacking rest and having bad fits of coughing.  It’s become very hard for him to be comfortable at all due to the fluid around his lungs and hearts that we found out is not dissipating.

I am relying, as my devotional this morning so fittingly told me to, on prayer.  It is anticipated to take until possibly Friday for the biopsy results to come back, but I have a feeling, and am praying, they come today.  As soon as pathology is back, Kevin can get the procedure needed to drain the fluid, and the feeding tube.  Both, at this point, would be a blessing to his healing and recovery.  Also, at that time, the oncologist can finally prepare Kevin’s treatment plan and get things rolling.

We are both just physically and mentally exhausted and are praying for peace and understanding as we adjust to our new way of life.  I have much anxiety about the upcoming BBQ and everything coming together, as all of our donors for the meal products, besides the baked goods, are on hold.  Pray that Turkey Hill, Herrs and Darrenkamps all come through and in a timely manner!  I pray that you all buy some tickets to help us through this situation, as the hospital bills have already hit our doorstep.

Thank you all for your continued prayers and support.  We are overwhelmed with thanks and gratitude for all you are doing.

I *HOPE* to have more POSITIVE updates later-we’re praying for positive!
