Lindy,
I am so thankful for the updates that you give so we can be specific in what we pray for. All of you are in our prayers daily, as we lift you up we know God will continue to give you sufficient strength for each moment. We will be praying the sickness that you experience each time will get less and less, and that you will be able to regain strength. May each day hold some silver lining for you, and may your faith guide you through.

Hi Lindy, I haven’t talked to you yet since you have been going through all of this, but I have thought about you a lot. Being that I have never gone through this myself I can’t say “Oh, it will be OK.” but I do know you are strong and have gone through a lot and made it! It will just take time… What a weight on your shoulders! I wouldn’t wish that on anyone! I was looking through your blog today and you have so much support. That is wonderful! Is it bad that I wish everyone were cooking for me? :o) I don’t know if Brooklyn would be interested in playing with Audrey sometime but maybe we can figure it out. Or I could come over with Jill someday and bring Audrey so they can play. I hope your day is going well…Kristi

Lindy,

Talked to Scott Nelson (Jill Nelson’s husband) yesterday and he wanted me to let you know that they are there to help you guys out in anyway. Please use Jill as a support and if Dusty wanted to talk to Scott he is open for that. Here are lyrics to a song that keeps running through my mind for you:

I can do all things
Through Christ who gives me strength,
But sometimes I wonder what He can do through me;
No great success to show, No glory on my own,
Yet in my weakness He is there to let me know . . .

CHORUS
His strength is perfect when our strength is gone;
He’ll carry us when we can’t carry on.
Raised in His power, the weak become strong;
His strength is perfect, His strength is perfect.

We can only know
The power that He holds
When we truly see how deep our weakness goes;
His strength in us begins
Where ours comes to an end.
He hears our humble cry and proves again . . .

I hope and pray that today brings comfort to you. Think & pray for you everyday.

“all my tears weren’t cried in vain..you watch over me..you’ve never left me alone..you watch over me when the night seems long…you help me see the way before me..you watch over me…never once have you forsaken me…you watch over me in the darkest valleys..when the night seems long..you watch over me…you watch over me” these lyrics playing as I write this. I am praying you feel His watching over you..God bless you..God Keep you..God smile on you..and God give you His peace…..In His Grip..barb

Lindy,
I asked your Aunt Mary if I could have your blog, hope you don’t mind. My husband and I are good friends of Mary and Del and they let us know about you. I just want you to know that I pray for you and Dusty and your family everyday. I’m so sorry you need to go through this thing called cancer and all the test and pokes and chemo that goes along with it. Just remember keep your eyes on the BIG “C” Christ as He helps you fight this little “c” cancer. He’s bigger! When you go through this bone scan just sing God’s praises and it will help you get through this. Promise! It’s so great to read that you and Dusty have such a strong relationship with CHrist. He is Able. Alaida

Sorry to hear this a bad few days for you- the beginning is a very rough place to be.

I found alot of helpful info at this site www.youngsurvival.org. Some of the language is crass, the women are occasionally caddy but for the most part, you can ask for advice and will often get several good answers. From my quick glance, some women tried acupuncture with good success and chocolate covered ginger as a natural alternative.

Praying that the next few days see a decrease in the symptoms of chemo.

Hi Lindy-

The right words to try to cheer you up are just not coming to me… All I know is just when you think you can’t make it through something- YOU DO… Just when you think you can’t go anymore- YOU DO… Just when you you want to let your self give up- YOU WON’T…You are an amazing, strong,
inspiring, fighter who WILL make it through this with God’s hand holding yours and giving you the strength to make it to the next day and soon this will all be behind you…Hugs for all of you- YOU WILL MAKE IT through this dark vall
