Yesterday, my pastor's wife, Belinda, presented me with a prayer shawl that was knitted by women of the Christian Church in Topeka. It is their ministry to provide these beautiful shawls to anyone with illness and in need of prayer. Thank you, Belinda, for thinking of me. I have been wrapped in it since I received it. I am amazed by the sources of love and support that I receive.
I am preparing for the trip to St. Louis tomorrow. I will have a PET scan in the late afternoon and the surgery is scheduled for Thursday morning. I will also get a port that will provide an avenue to give chemotherapy. The port is a "cork" that goes under the skin near the collar bone that goes directly into a large vein so that I won't have to be stuck each time I get chemo - it's standard practice to have one.
Lindsay won't be making the trip to St. Louis. She has a terrible upper respiratory infection and missed work today. She needs prayer, too, to get better and because she wants to be with me for this trip. Marlin and Grant will travel with me and we plan to be back in Girard Friday evening.
Send positive thoughts and prayers for safe travel, skillful surgeon's hands and for His will be done.

You are being covered in prayer by many for the trip to St Louis and the surgery. My Bible Study is praying as are many of my friends.
We'll include Lindsay as I know she will miss being with you. Many of my friends are checking into your blog frequently and have commented on your sharing your faith stories. Go with God. We love you.
