I just spoke with Mrs. Doug.  She said that she has a lady named Linda (who has been sitting with Mrs. Joyce Flemming some) who will be coming to stay with Bro. Dale tomorrow while she goes to have her biopsy done.  She doesn't currently have anyone lined up to help her with him Friday night or Saturday.  She will not be able to lift on him for at least 24 hours after her procedure.  She thinks she will be able to manage by letting him sit in the lift chair because he can stand from it.  But she will need help getting him in the bed Friday night and getting up Saturday morning. 

They went to Houston today to have a CT scan done on Bro. Dale's right arm (the one that he is unable to use) because there is a place in his upper arm that they are unsure of.  They think that it is the muscle that has dropped, but they aren't sure.  They should find out the results in the morning. 

Mrs. Doug said that she should hear the results of her biopsy on Monday, but she's going to ask as much as she can tomorrow.  Please continue to pray for both of them.  Particularly, pray for Mrs. Doug as she has this procedure done tomorrow.  Pray that God will give her peace and strength and a constant awareness of God's presence and His power. 

Psalm 121

¹ I lift my eyes toward the mountains.
Where will my help come from?
² My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth.

³ He will not allow your foot to slip;
your Protector will not slumber.
⁴ Indeed, the Protector of Israel
does not slumber or sleep.

⁵ The Lord protects you;
the Lord is a shelter right by your side.
⁶ The sun will not strike you by day
or the moon by night.

⁷ The Lord will protect you from all harm;
He will protect your life.
⁸ The Lord will protect your coming and going
both now and forever.
