Update on the Swindlers

Hey all ~
 
I was able to see Shannon this morning and it was such a relief to my heart.  She was pale and tired, but in good spirits.  She was also able to hold a long term coherent conversation, which she admitted was a first for her since being in the hospital. 
 
As far as Shannan's health is concerned, she's not out of the woods yet.  I talked to one of her Dr.s this am and there are still some issues with her blood cells hemolysing (bursting) and her kidney function is not where it needs

Emily Yasson is Home with the Lord

Over the last few months I've put notices out concerning a family in Vancouver. Emily Yasson was diagnosed with cervical cancer that had reached and advanced stage.

Maes Family in Mexico

The Maes family (Southside Samaritan House)  left for Mexico Friday morning and arrived in Morelia at 4 am Saturday. They said they felt covered in prayer and would appreciate your continued prayers.

Keep 'em Home - 41st Brigade Belongs in Oregon

I've gotten to the point that I can't remain silent any longer. Caleb and 3500 other Oregon National Guard soldiers are being deployed, many for the second time, to Iraq. I'm joining the Campaign to Keep the Oregon Guard in Oregon. The effort empowers the governor to withhold Oregon Guard units except under certain conditions.

The Sunday struggles...
