Update:
In the past three days John’s condition has changed. His ability to say what he is thinking is getting harder and harder. He knows what he wants to say but it doesn’t come out. There are some of you that call him from time to time well now you will get to talk to me. He has trouble remembering names. No matter what happens or how bad it gets John wants you to know that he cares for you thinks about you and would to write you a little note and encourage you if he could. It’s just that I will be sending and writing the notes now. I know God is in total control of this whole thing. I don’t worry or doubt just sad at times.
There are moments I feel like I’m free falling and the chute just has not opened YET.
Those around me are praying for me (binding the spirit of fear) that I don’t think I have. I look at the man I love and serve and honor struggling with talking or thinking. We have he pain under control so he doesn’t suffer.
So many of you came in a week ago and the visits were so good. timing was great.
Keep us in prayer as we travel to Birmingham John feels he must go there because there are people he must talk to.
 What a trip this cancer thing no fun at all.
Love Joy
