This is the view from Linda's room...great evening in Bend, Oregon.....temperature at nights now just hovering above freezing.....clear and cold.AND THEN.....Linda woke up and slurred...."luke at thee Son Set" (translation: "look at the sunset")...and in the few minutes between the above picture and the below picture.....
I think Linda is doing better.....we won't know about the blood till morning....but her general condition (excusing the morphine fog) seems to be better..she still has pain but with the 2,250 calories she is getting a day and the sleep.......she just seems better. We've been using a lot of humor around her and she seems to respond to it.....
Tomorrow daughter Janine comes for three days....Son Jeff visited today and will be back tomorrow before he works. Linda was able to read the blog comments again today...I keep telling everyone these comments are the best thing going..she loves them!
Pastor Paul is coming tomorrow....Linda is very excited about that...he is a very dear man.

That sunset was gorgeous-just like the "wady" who told us to "wook" at it! With a view like that, some of us will be making reservations!
Linda, the sunset had BELIEVE painted in heavenly colors just for you.
Dear courageous Linda,
I've been out of town for a week and just returned to read of your latest challenge. Keep believing, my friend, and know you are greatly loved. I pray hope wraps your heart tonight and srength returns to you quickly. You are strong and a fighter. May a renewed strength greet you in the morning and the pain you're experiencing quickly subsides.
Keep stong, Dave and Linda and BELIEVE.
Much love,
Kathy Ivanoff
Seeing Linda in the pictures is good even though I know she is not her usual perky self. We all feel so far away and helpless through this all but somehow feel more connected just seeing you Linda. Dad, you should put up a picture of you and Sadie so we can see you both too! Have Janine or Jeff take one tomorrow. I'm so glad the folks at the hospital are taking such good care of you both - get as much rejuvenation as you can there before they kick you out. Keep teasing too - the humor is good for everyone. You are so loved and there are so many people routing for you! Taigen said two prayers in a row for you tonight as she went to bed. She just does that sometimes all on her own. :)
Love you, Chris, Wendy and Taigen
Jim and I want to know who that masked woman is roaming the halls of the hospital. Is security aware?
Your view is gorgeous! Just like you. We love you very much.
Jenn & Jim
How can a sunset like that not make you feel better? Natural healing.
So glad you're getting your proper nutrition and staying strong. Humor definitely helps, too. Laughter and mirth are guaranteed to heal.
So glad you're getting the right help to stay in good shape. As always, all my love to you both.
