Sept 17 Email to all friends

Hey friends, I am back in Dallas and just went through ALL of my emails from each one of you. Tears flooded my eyes as I could feel the love and prayers flow off the page right into my heart. I cannot even express what all this has meant to me.

Now this email IS actually from my own hands. The previous one that was sent out was by Michelle, my friend in Nashville who took such amazing care of me. (if any of you are ever in the hospital or have a tumor, you HAVE to call her, she was a God sent.)

Okay, updates:
1. will be in dallas until the surgery.
2. staying with my awesome friends Tammy & Kevin Whitaker (they are taking GREAT care of me)
3. Heidi my sister flys to dallas next Monday and she will be with me until I am completely recovered
4. Pre op is sept 27 at 8:00am
5. surgery & head shaving is 1:00pm on sept 27
6. I will be in the hospital for 4-6 days
7. recovery is 4-6 weeks. Location on recovery will be Nashville, then back to dallas as soon as I can travel
8. currently there have been NO seizures since Thursday
9. My right side is still numb but can walk, just can’t type too well =) No roller blading or sky diving for a while
10. My memory is a little fuzzy, but hey that could be cuz I am getting old. =)

Ultimately God has given me such peace. I know He will see me through this.

“I may not be able to see beyond the bend in the road, but I know GOD is already THERE!!!!!!!!!”

Prayer requests:
1. Pray for Rose in Uganda. She is taking this very hard. Pray God would continue HIS work in those children.
2. Pray for my mom as we decide when to tell her. Her health is weak and don’t want to worry her
3. Pray my shakes, trimmers and numbness would subside
4. My eyes, thoughts and heart would be steadfast; especially in the middle of the night when doubts arise.

Thank you all again. I am flooded with emotions of gratitude and overwhelmed by all of your prayers, calls, desire to help, going above and beyond. This is the BODY of CHRIST!!!!!!!

I love you & aloha

Cindy
