My sister is going to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN tomorrow for some final tests. Her cancer has spread and they are going to figure out how far. They have prepared her and the family for the worst. They expect it to be too far advanced to be able to do anything.

She is asking that all her siblings come and see her. I doubt I will be able to. I have a brother and another sister that are not likely to be able to go either. I have no vacation coming and I can't fit an airfare into my budget for a few weeks. She was hoping to see my kids which isn't even an option.

I put together a home video for her a few months ago and sent that to her. And we have been sending her cards and emails. She had half of her tounge removed so she doesn't like talking on the phone. I feel bad about not getting up there. I just don't want her to think I don't care.

The two spots in her lungs are cancer. She also has an aggressive tumor in her back which is headed for her spinal column. They plan to start her on chemo on Wednesday.

I am going to buy a ticket to fly up there in November for a weekend.

Oh Shane,

I am so sorry to hear this. It must be so hard for you, wanting to go and not being able to go.....glad that you will be able to make the trip in Nov, tho. That will be such a blessing for both of you.

You all will be in my thoughts and prayers,

Morning Glory

Shane,

I am so sorry about your sister. Will keep her in prayer. Please keep us advised of her condition.

Praying!

Well, I bought a ticket on a tourist airline that flies nonstop from here in the Valley to Minneapolis but they don't start flying until November 10. It was the only ticket I could afford.

My sister went into the ER this weekend as she had problems breathing. The doctors are trying to figure out a timeline now to tell her how much time she has left. Hopefully she makes it until November but we are not sure.

Shane,

I will keep your sister in prayer. I do hope she makes it until November so that you can see her. It will be important for both of you.



Am glad the Valley is finally getting an airline that can fly nonstop anyplace. Long overdue.

Putting you and your family in and on our pray list.

Aouut your ticket, could you not go to priceline.com and bid for a better price. Just a thought. Or are you limited to time restrictions.

The cheapest price I got at priceline.com was over $450. I got a ticket from Sun Country Airlines for $280. I tried Expedia.com, and Hotwire.com too.

Shane;

I will pray for your sister, you, & all of your your extended families.
