Thursday Evening...September 27th

6 days of radiation left!!!!

Linda did well during the night.....I "fed" her very early this morning...and it went down the tube as she slept.

With brother Marlin and Sister in law Joni, we went to the Clinic first for a visit with the nurse practitioner......she gave Linda a "platinum star" (better than a "gold star") because it appears the burping is under control...the pain is being managed....and Linda got her 5 cans of food through the tube. I do admit I worry about things getting worse in the next few days again...I really don't want a repeat two weeks ago.

Linda then went across the street to the hospital and did her 28th day of radiation. It was then back to the Clinic for hydration....she will do hydration again tomorrow.

Linda slept a lot today....perhaps getting back some sleep she lost (I know..I know...you can't catch up). She has had two cans of food..and has started her second set of 2 cans tonight....I hope to slip in the fifth can early tomorrow.

Brother Darron and Sister in law LaVelle called tonight...they have been traveling down the hiway from Anchorage by RV and are in Everett, Washington tonight....we should see them about noon on Saturday.

The picture is Marlin and Joni with Linda...it was nice enough for Linda to sit outside.....tomorrow they leave early and the weather is supposed to drop 20 degrees and start raining....

Good morning, you guys. What a gift i received this morning, the picture of Linda and her bro-and sis-in-law. Most of all it was GREAT to see Linda's big smile again. Dave, you are doing GOOD! My daily routine is to get on the computer each morning early to see how things are going. This a.m. was my gift for the day. Thinking and praying for you guys.
Love,
Janet

Linda so good to see you back at home and smiling...You are an unblievable inspiration to so many.
You have taken control over so many of life's hurdles and you are approaching yet another finish line. You will win this race...

L, you keep on this, girl! You're doing great. You're tackling the problems and picking 'em off one by one. (Yeah, Susie, like she's got a freakin' choice!! :-) ) How wonderful to have family support -- all the visits and love. And you look mah-velous, too!!!! No, really, you do.

Seeing you in that lovely aura of golden healing love, I've got you ever-present in my thoughts and meditations.
