<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>Good morning,
all!<BR><BR>Late Wednesday afternoon, Carol was discharged from <BR>Duke
University Medical Center. What a joy to get her<BR>back to where we're
staying!! She is doing so well - we're<BR>all amazed at how great she looks.
Recently we've learned<BR>just how tumors rob the patient of nutrition and
fluids, and<BR>now that they've been removed from Carol, and she has<BR>been
fully rehydrated, it looks as if she's 4-5 years younger<BR>than she looked even
two months ago! Carol's younger<BR>sister flew in late Wednesday night, and has
joined the 3<BR>of us. It's just fun being together here again.<BR><BR>Now on
Monday, assuming the Pathology reports from the<BR>surgery last Wednesday are
back, Carol's two surgeons, as<BR>well as her Radiolgic and medical Oncologists,
will review<BR>her case. What will be decided will be whether or not
they<BR>allow her to heal from these surgeries and then perform
the<BR>mastectomy, or, whether before the mastectomy, they run<BR>her through a
course of chemo. We'll let you know when<BR>we know...but, if the Path reports
aren't in on time, they'll<BR>meet the following Monday.<BR><BR>It has been
great to be able to catch up on rest and sleep<BR>since returning here...we were
all really exhausted without<BR>knowing it. Lord willing, we'll head home early
next week,<BR>before our boys return for Thanksgiving. We have so much<BR>to be
thankful for this year, and it will be a special day.<BR><BR>For all of your
e-mails, cards, and encouragement, we can<BR>only thank all of you. Some of you,
or your Assemblies, have<BR>sent us gifts, knowing that I've cancelled all of my
meetings<BR>through the end of the year. One day I'll be able to get
caught<BR>up personally; but for now, we can only say thanks for the help<BR>and
wonderful encouragement this has brought. It helps us to<BR>realize that God is
still in control of all, and just how much we<BR>can rest fully on Him for
everything.<BR><BR>With love from all
here,<BR><BR>Alan</FONT><BR></FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
