Dear Brethren,

As I am sure you all know by know, Anita, my wife, has been diagnosed with breast cancer. After doing a mammogram and biopsy of two lumps they called back the next day with the news. On top of this, both Anita and I have come down with the flu. She has it much worse than I do. I am actually feeling much better today (seem to be getting over it).

I took Anita to a Lexington Clinic Urgent Care facility yesterday (Monday) to see if they could prescribe something stronger for the flu, other than the over-the-counter stuff we have been taking. They confirmed she had the flu and after a chest x-ray they also determined she now has pneumonia. So she is now taking an antibiotic, combined with a prescription cough syrup and also an inhaler. She is very tired and her voice is still a whisper. However, she did have a much better night last night, as she did not cough nearly as much. She says she is feeling some better today. Tomorrow we are still programmed to see the surgeon. I will keep everyone posted as to what is going on as we have news. Thanks for all the phone calls and e-mails. We can really feel the love!!

At peace and trusting in HIM,

Sheridan
