"How is Linda doing?" It continues to be an extremely difficult question to answer. The bottom line is that her body is in crisis - or, at the very least, is near crisis. She has had a calmer day, mostly because of Morphine and Adavan. Linda is still agitated when she is the least bit aware of her surroundings. She is not taking the medicines to ease the end of life, but to tide her over until she can get past the infection, which we hope is the cause of her struggles with delirium. She has a minor form of meningitis, as I shared with you last night, and that could well be causing enough pain and confusion to account for her difficulties.
Linda does have a fever tonight, once again approaching 103 degrees. As you can imagine, this is not a good thing. There is some optimism, though, that the antibiotics will arrest the fever and pain, and enable her to interact with us again. Where we go from there, who knows? It is enough, I think, to ask you to pray that she will awake from this stupor (it is not a coma) with a clear head. God bless!

Brad and Linda - we are continuing to pray for you and the whole family. Thank you for taking time to give us updates as I wanted to call the hospital several times yesterday. We are specifically asking that God take the fever and whatever is causing it from Linda's body and copntinue to pray,of course for a miraculous healing only our Father can give. We love you.

Brad,
After I emailed many friends and family last night pleading for prayer on your behalf, we got many affirmations of how your lives have touched theirs even though they don't know you. Our friends are grateful for your faith and testimony. One quote was sent that was beautiful. I wanted to share.
"just think of stepping ashore and finding it Heaven, of touching a hand and finding it God's....of waking up in glory and finding it Home..."
May it encourage you and shed the love of the Lord over you. It was a blessing to see you today. I know you are only standing because of Him. We love you all.

Talley Family,
We are praying for you. We miss you so much. We really wish we could be with you during this time. Brad and Linda you helped Roger and I through one of the most difficult time in our lives. So we wish we could be with you. Brad you mentioned how blessed your life had been and is because of Linda. I am sure there are many people that could say the same
