Wednesday June 27

Tired..tired....headache...cough..cough

Linda called yesterday to get something to deal with the cough...the problem seems to be she is between two doctors..the kidney doctor and the lung doctor...the lung doctor won't do anything until he sees her next week...the kidney doctor seems to have passed her along...

We are trying again today to get her some relief.

We are not going to the next two Champ Car events (Mont Tremblant (Montreal) and Toronto)...duh.....the good thing is that we have two good people who can step in and replace us and Champ Car is very supportive. I remain very involved by computer and phone..a good diversion...and allows the program to continue without a "miss". Edmonton is in about 4 weeks..we shall see...depends on the program Linda will be on...see biopsy and all above.

Today Linda will start daily naps....2 hours in bed..1pm -3 pm...get her plenty of rest.

A very touching note.....a friend of one of our sons took time to call today..he lives in bend....he was across the states dealing with his Mother's illness and decline..and took the time to call and offer support! How can Linda not win with support like that!

I love you both so much. Linda, who are so strong both mentally and physically. I know this to shall pass. What ever we can do for you do not hesitate to call. Don't forget we are going to lay in the sun together in October! That will give you something to look forward to!!
Hugs and many many kisses,
Jenn

I'm still stunned and hardly know what to say except that, I'm sure, you both know how much I love you. My thoughts and prayers will be with you every minute of every day until I hear that you're on the road to a full recovery.....and even then til the recovery is complete.

If you want me to come just let me know and I'll be on my way. Also, if there's anything else I can do just say the word.

I'll write more when I can think a little better. You WILL beat this thing honey......I know it.

All my love, til the end of time.
Mom

This blog is a great idea - so many people are thinking of and praying for Linda all during the day every day and it is wonderful to just read about the day and feel close to her without tiring her out with answering the same questions over and over, aggravating the cough and tiring herself even more. I love you both and my thoughts and prayers are with you both through this.

Please let us know if we can do anything. Stay close to God - "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." Philippians 4:6

Love, Wendy, Chris and Taigen

Dear Linda,

We know there is nothing more fearful than that of the unknown. From my experience the only thing that is stronger than that, is knowing that you have a living loving God that you can seek the strength from that you need...it is the only light in a field of darkness. We will pray for that light of strength to be with you. When you find out what you are dealing with; if you need our relationships with the folks at the OHSU's Oregon Cancer Institute to help with being an additional resource, you only need give us a call.

In the mean time, you and your family remain in our prayers, and we are willing to do what ever we can at anytime.

With love and prayers,
Chad & Sharon

Matt and I were so sorry to hear about this, but if anyone can beat this thing it's you Linda! You have all of our support, good thoughts and friendship throughout this tough time. You'll be up and running the show in Champ Car again in no time. In the meantime, we'll be here if you need us for anything, you just say the word!

We love you guys!

Marissa and Matt Clark

We have just begun to reconnect. I had so much fun with you and Janine a few years back. I look forward to more shared moments. I KNOW you will beat this, you still have many things left to do, and you are right, this is not your time. Just know you have lots of old friends that may not have been in contact over the years, but that doesn't mean we have forgotten you or the good times we have shared..When you feel up to it some of us would love to come and visit and rehash the memories of our youth...Know I love you and you are in my prayers every day..and in my thoughts continuously...Claudia
