Update from Cathy Collier:
Heart ECO = normal.
CT / Bone scan = No distant disease anywhere else in my body.
Breast MRI = does show a second very small satellite tumor on the same side and NOTHING in the adjoining side.
All that is GOOD NEWS.
First Chemo scheduled for next Wednesday.

UPDATE: The Discipleship Class has heard from the Gendrons. Kathy is still in the hospital, but is improving slowly. They are in an excellent private facility and getting good care for her. The cruise line port agent has been very helpful to them, and they are getting daily calls from the State Department. Language is still an issue. They received a FaceTime call from Pedro Gismondi which greatly encouraged them. Though the situation is difficult, they know that their lives are in God's hands, and this truth gives them comfort. Please pray that Kathy will improve quickly so that they might return to Oklahoma.
Pray for Richard and Kathy Gendron. They have been on a cruise. Kathy became ill with a severe septic infection, and is currently in the hospital. They suspect there may be some cardiac involvement. This is a very scary and stressful situation being in a foreign country, far from family and friends. They have been in contact with an agent from the cruise company as well as the U.S. Counsel. Pray that they will be able to get her safely home to Oklahoma. Pray God's comfort for both of them.

Please pray for Randy and Louise Ledger. She is undergoing some tests right now. They are praying she will be able to come home, but he may need to find a memory care facility for her. Please pray that she could come home so that he can care for her properly. They can find a clean, caring memory care site that isn't prohibitively expensive. Also, that everyone involved is compassionate and has wisdom on how best to proceed with all the various, intertwining programs. Pray for clarity for Randy as this is very overwhelming at the moment.

Pray for Mike Bradford. When Mike fell last week, he bumped his head near the incision from his recent brain surgery. They did a CAT scan at the time, and found a dark-colored enlargement in the brain. While there is nothing they can do right now, it has left Mike very confused; he can't seem to focus on things. He is undergoing physical, occupational and speech therapy at the Mercy Rehab Hospital. Pray they will be able to help him regain his focus while the brain heals itself. Mike and Kay will be moving to Burleson, TX to be near her daughter. Pray that all the details will be completed in a timely and orderly fashion. Pray for Kay’s strength and stamina.
