Friday the 13th notes from Carol!
Carol has been reading from Hebrews and is reminded that Jesus himself is praying for her! There is no need to fear any tomorrows...God is good!
Last week Mark and Carol saw Dr. Reddy at Stanford. Instead of starting chemo this week it looks now like the next round will start next week, Feb 23. A beloved friend of Carol's is coming to visit that same day from Romania, Evodia Budai, a pastor's wife, that Carol met in 2002. Please pray that Carol will have the strength to spend quality time with Evodia while she is visiting (Feb 23-Mar 6).
Medical issues at the moment include low blood counts (Carol had red blood cells and platelets given last week while at Stanford) and fluid retention in her abdomen and lower extremities. Last week over a liter of fluid was drawn off her abdomen. She is more comfortable now, but please be praying for blood counts to remain good at this point and for management of the excess fluid build-up in her body. Thank you!
Carol is loving having visitors...just give a buzz before you come to make sure she is home! You can call me too (Cathy) to arrange times to visit as well!

Carol, how I'd love to be one of those coming to visit you. But know I love you and pray for you. Kathy
Miss Carol,
Your smile on this blog is the brightest I've seen it in awhile. You light up everyone's lives and of course you know you are the apple and light of God's Eyes too.
Wanted to come by but the flu decided to visit me so, alas, I will have to settle for a blog entry. Donna from Bakersfield is coming up Saturday, hoping you can get together with her then. As soon as my flu has moved on, I will call you. It might be time for Lion King again? Smooches, hugs and kisses. God's peace and healing- I always pray.

Dear Carol,
I am so thankful to know you, for your life, remember your encouraging words and smile. Now I am thankful for the opportunity, that Evodia is able to visit you. I pray for you and thinking of you so many times.
