UPDATE 9/20: We praise God that John just got word he will be returning home tomorrow! They will do CAT scans every two weeks to continue monitoring his healing progress, but he can be home with us and recover around family!

UPDATE 9/16: Doctors decided to hold off on John's additional surgery. He is being discharged today in a neck brace and will have daily X-rays and doctor appts to monitor neck alignment and symptoms. He may need another surgery but we hope (and pray) that he doesn't. So appreciative of prayers and meals!

UPDATE 9/15: They found that nothing moved, but there is a disk that they didn’t get into the spot they wanted. They also were able to give him Toradol and it helped him with his headache. He has not been brought the hard neck brace he’s supposed to be in, but he is doing better today. We are hopeful that he will be discharged today or tomorrow.

Please lift John up in prayer. His surgery went well, but last night he got a severe headache. They tried several strong medication, but it did not help. This morning they did ex-rays and found that something may have moved. They are running more tests and he may have to go back into surgery. He will remain in the hospital for a few more days as of right now.

UPDATE 9/4: My mother’s hip surgery went well. She will need physical therapy and have to be in a skilled nursing facility for awhile when she is released from the hospital. I’m flying down Friday morning to be with her. Prayers that she will be in a top notch physical rehab facility and that she will heal quickly so she can walk on her right leg. Praise God for his love and mercy.

Additionally, my oncologist today said that of all her patients, I have responded the best to this chemo treatment. I told her that it’s my faith in God and the healing power of Jesus.

###

My mother Betty Sage who is in a memory care facility in Washington, fell and broke her hip this afternoon (Sunday) and will be having surgery Tuesday. Please pray for the surgeons and staff, also that she will feel Gods loving arms around her and she will be at peace. Pray for her pain and recovery. Pray for wisdom and guidance for me if I should cancel my Doctor appointments, labs and chemotherapy this week and fly down to be with her. I really don’t know what to do.

UPDATE 9/4: Thanks for all the prayers, Mom is doing excellent. She can put weight on her pelvis without pain, working on taking a few steps at a time. I’m in good spirits and wanting to go for a walk.

My mom fell and cracked her pelvis. I’m asking for healing prayers. She is healthy and in good spirits. She will need to not move much for 2 weeks. I will be going down to help.
