Thank you for your prayers.

I don't really have an update. I'll see the surgeon on Thursday morning. I hope to know when surgery will be scheduled. Each of my doctors has told me that they wanted to get surgery scheduled quickly but they are doing it.

Your prayers have made a difference. During the daytime, I've had as much as 5 hours of the pain being mild over yesterday and today. That is the first time I've had any relief. I believe it is because of so many people being faithful to pray.

I've had many people text or email me today about how they can pray for specific needs. Here are some real specific needs:

1. My cancerous tumor is steadily growing larger. That is not good. The more it grows the less I can open my mouth and the more pain feel.
2. The infection in my mouth, while not cancerous, is getting worse. Pray that I'll get medicine for that soon.
3. Pray that my surgery is soon. Having the cancerous tumor removed would alleviate a lot of the hurting and maybe they can remove all cancer.
4. Lastly, Please help me to maintain kindness when my pain is so much. I struggle to speak and hurt so much that I can be rude or hurtful myself. I don't want to be unkind. I want to show Jesus in all I do.

Thank you everyone. I truly have experienced your love.
