Linda was alert today. She was cracking jokes and keeping us laughing all day! My sister, Nan, told her that we were going to send her on a comedy tour, to which Linda immediately replied, "It can't be stand-up comedy - it will have to be prop-up comedy." We howled.
Linda's condition is not good. Even though she had quite a good day, she also experienced pain (headaches), nausea (finally getting to eat after 5 days), more tests (x-rays looking for pneumonia - no word yet), and the insertion of a pic line (to administer drugs to and through a vein that carries blood directly to the heart). There is talk that she will go home later this week. If so, it will be insurance driven, because I cannot see that she will be "ready" to go later this week. She is having difficulty breathing, though that may be due more to a stuffy nose than to compromised lungs.
Linda is sleeping now after a long and busy day. We will read Scripture if she awakens in the night. Thank you for your many prayers and encouraging words. We love you!

Brad,
I am so, so, so thrilled to hear that Linda is alert and lucid and feeling better. She's such an amazing woman, cracking jokes in the midst of all this pain and discomfort. She's just unbelievable. I pray that God will continue to comfort and strengthen her.
I've been praying for her and all of you every day and will continue to. Thanks for keeping us updated!
Hugs to you all,
Devon
Your posts have reawakened my longing for God. Deep is calling to deep. Thank you for your continued ministry. I and my family will be praying. (a former TVR camper and summer staff)
Oh how your blog sounded just like Linda! It was so good to read about her joking around. Tell her I love her - and of course still believing!
Love,Eva
