Cough is Back

We have a special prayer request. Linda's cough is back this morning. I heard one cough yesterday that I did not like the sound of, but since she did not cough further I forgot about it. This morning, after I awoke but before she did, I heard a deep, wet cough. Once Linda got up, she said that she had coughed through the night (I did not hear her) and that her neck and throat hurt.

I am sure you can understand why this calls for urgent prayer. The day we left the hospital, one of the doctors told me that the tumor is not the major concern (although I continue to think that the tumor is very much affecting Linda, as do some of the other doctors), but rather, infection is her biggest enemy. We see the Infectious Diseases' doctor tomorrow and he is the right one to see for this concern. His resources are limited. God's resources and ability are unlimited. Would you please ask Him to eradicate this congestion/infection in Linda's lungs?

This morning, Linda and I enjoyed listening to devotions from a CD given to us at Christmas taken from Randy Alcorn's book titled, Heaven. If you have read Alcorn's book, you know that when you read it you begin to long for heaven! Indeed, we do! I am just not ready for Linda to go anytime soon, so please pray! Hey, as I have said from the beginning, none of us has the promise of one more breath, much less another day - but her situation is critical, and we want you joining with us. There is a possibility that I am a bit overly concerned about this cough, but we will appreciate the prayer anyway!

I have never asked this before, but would you please let Linda know you are praying? You could either respond to this post (you can just say, "Praying" - please sign your name), or if you have a particular message for her (please keep it somewhat brief), you can send it to my e-mail address: btalley5@embarqmail.com God bless you!
