PRAYER REQUESTS
1. That God will show us individually, as a family, and collectively as a body what He wants us to learn.
2. That we have wisdom in knowing which route to go in method of treatment.
3. Thank the Lord that Deb's food and meds are staying down.
4. Thank the Lord for the good report from neurosurgeon that she thinks the vertebra will rebuild itself within about 3 months' time; we pray that it will be even sooner than that, and that she can regain her ability to walk normally again very soon.
5. That God will have mercy and grace upon us all and heal Debbie COMPLETELY so that she may continue her areas of ministry, continue her role as mother and wife, and one day be the example and mentor to grandchildren and daughters-in-law that she has been to our two sons.
6. That God will guard Debbie angainst infections, blood clots, or any other complications that we don't even know to could be possibilities.
7. That as God comforts us we will be equipped to comfort others with the comfort we received. II Cor 1:3-4
8. That God will be glorified throughout this whole process, and that He will drive out all fear and anxiety about the future, as He fills our hearts with peace. He has been faithful to do this, by sending someone daily in person, in a note or an e-mail to encourage us. He is so faithful.
THANK YOU FOR THE PRAYERS!!!! Please continue to pray!

Dear Debbie & Duane,
I almost didn't check again this evening but was so glad to hear an update and to get your new prayer requests. I just prayed for you both. I so understand about Debbie's Mother. That's the way I felt 10 years ago when Mother and Daddy were taking care of me. Little did I know that I would be the first to need them. It took a year to get through all my treatments. I pray that it won't be that long for Debbie. May God bless you both with His peace. I praise Him for the little things she can do. Love in HIM, Karen J.

I know you are taking some Herbs you might try looking at http://www.reliv.com. My mother had started me on these vitamins which are in a powder form. There are some wonderful testimonials on the site. It's not a cure, but it does help quite a bit, and has helped me sleep better.
I am so glad to hear about being able to drive, getting your appetite back, walking around. It's those little things, isn't it? Unless you have been there like we have (you and I), you really can't appreciate simple things like walking, driving, eating and actually enjoying it!
We pray for you constantly, Tony & I. I would really like to come by for a visit. I'll call you later on in the week to see when a convenient time would be.
Remember we love you both. We thank the Father for putting the two of you in our lives. You have enriched us more than you know.
Tony & Carolyn
