We do not know much more now than we did when we first got to the hospital on Wednesday. Linda underwent a bronchoscopy this morning, a procedure in which a tube is run through the throat into the lungs. Secretions were "vacuumed" from her lungs and sent to the lab. The doctors have checked several times for a preliminary report, but none has been forthcoming. Even though more extensive tests will need to be done on these secretions, the hope is for enough information to get an initial treatment plan in place. Please pray that the doctors will be able to start treating the problem, soon.
Linda's oxygen levels are low and not rising without oxygen being given to her. Please pray about that as well as for the above mentioned treatment plan, which is so important for so many easons, such as chemo, physical therapy and steroid reduction all being put on hold while we wait for her lungs to clear.
We have been enjoying the Psalms lately, particularly Psalms 40, 46 and 138. Aren't you glad that we can say what we truly feel to a wise, all-powerful and compassionate God? We are repeatedly comforted by His presence. We are also encouraged that you have chosen to walk through this trial with us. Thank you!

Brad and Linda,
Larry and I have been reading the updates and praying for you both. We have told everyone we can think of who might know you from TVR to also pray.
You are loved!

Praying Brad!
Thank you for continuing to share in detail so we can pray specifically. I know He is near to you as you wait. Love you Linda! Sarah Young
It was so great to see you both for a short time. We are so blessed to have you in our lives. We are praying for Linda to overcome these side effects of the tumor. We know that God is right there with you in the hospital room. We love you so much!
