Update from Frank

Carol is home resting. All the prayers for the procedure were answered, thank you so much. Her blood pressure was great, vitals perfect and she quickly recovered after the procedure. The plastic stent is out and they again "roter

rooted" out the tumor in the duct and installed a new metal stent.  We hope she will be able to restart chemo when she gets her strength back. The nurses had estimated that it would take about a week from her hospital release last

Saturday evening to regain her strength. Please keep praying for a total healing.

  5. Oh my--what a lot to catch up on since we left D.C. the 4th. I found a coffee shop with internet! I'm breathless at all that's happened with your care in the last few days, and am so thankful for positive signs again. Prayers have been continuing from Florida and we get back Sunday afternoon. You have both had a whirlwind week with all the medical emergencies and with Franks goodbye from Northrup. Steve's so excited about the Pings, and Frank, I'll take you to Sligo!!!!! Carol, I know you'll keep gaining strength and we'll keep in touch with the Lord. Love you both, June and Steve

  23. Praying for all of you every day. God brings you to mind at the most interesting times throughout our day. Isn't He neat? So, get rest, sweet rest, to empower that body for healing! The battle's still being fought against those evil cancer cells Carol, so please do not fret that you are not back on the chemo yet. You're on the prayer train and it's unstoppable, no matter what the circumstances! His mercies are new (and POWERFUL) every morning!
    Love you all, J and J
