Dear Friends,
We come to you asking for prayer as our lives take an unexpected turn.
Many years ago Gerry ws diagnosed with Meniere disease, characterized by vertigo, hearing loss, abnormal eye movement, etc. There is not a cure for Meniere, so Gerry has been living with this and managing symptoms.
Lately symptoms have escalated. Gerry went back to the doctor looking for a way to manage, as symptoms were interfering in basic living. After seeing a neurologist Tuesday and having a MRI Wednesday, Gerry ws informed that he does not have Meniere disease, but a brain tumor. Most likely, it is not cancerous, yet it is large- 39mm, and pressing on several nerves affecting hearing, speech, swallowing, and respiratory. It is too large for radiation, so Gerry is on the fast track for surgery.
We ask prayer for several things:

We ask prayer for several things:
- Gerry's health
- Doctor's wisdom in treatment decisions
- Doctor's skill in surgery
- Family's spiritual and emotional health
- Loss of income for close to 3 months with small disability insurance
- Making good decisions
God is faithful! We rejoice in knowing He will work ALL of this out.
Please pray with us as God carries us through this time.
Praising Our God,
Debbie and Gerry

I have been praying for you through the knee-mail prayer chain at Canby Christian and just today finally went onto your blog. I see that you can't read much yet and wanted to suggest books on tape for a while until you heal enough to go back to reading by sight. May God bless you and bring you to that point soon! My husband and I will continue to pray and if you would like a break in the routine and have a meal again, I'd be happy to help out with that. I wasn't on the list for you initially but I don't have any "assignments" right now either and would happy to. May God bless you with His peace and His joy!
