Coma

Linda is totally unresponsive. She is not eating or drinking anything. She does not even complain when we turn her - a few days ago, that was traumatic for her. We continue to talk with her and play music for her, but she is completely unable to respond. We are unsure how much she understands (you always hear that coma patients can hear what you are saying) because of the brain tumor. She was unable to process much of what she heard (her sight was seriously compromised from the bleed) before she lapsed into the coma. No matter, we tell her how much she means to us.

There is not much to say. It has been a difficult day. No worries - God is still incredibly good. Thank you for - everything.

14 For here we have no continuing city, but we seek the one to come. 15 Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name.

Our love, Jenny & Donald

Brad, you and the entire family are in our prayers. We prayed especially for you today in Sunday School. So many people are concerned. May you feel God's loving arms around each one. Tell Linda I said hello and I love her.

Brad,

Thank you for your transparancy through the shadow of death. Your walk of faith is one that the angels are cheering on, as well as those of us on the sidelines here. God is with you and Linda. His love never ends. Nothing, not suffering or death can separate you from the love of God. You all are in our prayers!
