My Sister - unOFFICIAL ADVENTIST FORUM

Welcome with open arms fellow believers who don’t see things the way you do.
And don’t jump all over them every time they do or say something you don’t agree with
– even when it seems that they are strong on opinions but weak in the faith department.
Remember, they have their own history to deal with. Treat them gently. Romans 14.1: The Message

Shane Administrator of Foro Adventista Registered: 02/02/02 Posts: 16948 Loc: Rio Grande Valley, Texas	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. _________________________ I reserve the humble right to be wrong. Link > Shane's Page - update in progress

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. _________________________ I reserve the humble right to be wrong. Link > Shane's Page - update in progress

Shane Administrator of Foro Adventista Registered: 02/02/02 Posts: 16948 Loc: Rio Grande Valley, Texas	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. _________________________ I reserve the humble right to be wrong. Link > Shane's Page - update in progress

It will be important for both of you. Quote: I bought a ticket on a tourist airline that flies nonstop from here in the Valley to Minneapolis Am glad the Valley is finally getting an airline that can fly nonstop anyplace. Long overdue. _________________________ Aspire to inspire before you expire!

Shane Administrator of Foro Adventista Registered: 02/02/02 Posts: 16948 Loc: Rio Grande Valley, Texas	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. _________________________ I reserve the humble right to be wrong. Link > Shane's Page - update in progress
