We received an email from a friend, Lindy Walker. Many of you may remember her from Marble Falls First Baptist Church. She and her family moved about a year ago to Boerne. She is a mother of 2 small children. Matty that is 4.5 and Zach will be 2 in February.
Our prayers are needed for her healing and comfort.
Hello Lindy Fan Club:)
It's me, Amanda Patrick, a personal friend of Ben and Lindy's (for those newly added to our notification listing that I may not know personally). I just wanted to bring a few updates to you to help satisfy some lingering curiosities.
Please read this message from our Lindy:
"To all my friends and family, I love you. If you haven't heard yet, I have a broken femur due to a tumor that was found Fri night. So far they are calling it a sarcoma, but dont know what type yet. I am taking this step by step as it comes, meeting each day ready o fight. I need your prayers to be strong and full of faith, believing in the healing power of God and His Word. My family is standing strong with me. I will meet my orthopedic oncologist tomorrow and will have a biopsy. We will know more about treatment after the biopsy results. Right now I am completely relying on God and leaning on my family and friends. Please foward this on to anyone on your contact list that would want to know since I may not have their email. I am grateful for your prayers. Love Lindy"
The biopsy is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. on Monday, 26 October. Please set your alarms for the timely prayer reminder upon this critical hour of discovery. Most importantly, we are praying for God's hands to miraculously REMOVE all suggested presence of these cancer cells in her body...not merely healing. Additionally, pain management is crucial for her bone break area as this surgery is postponed pending biopsy results. We should ask our Lord to watch over the nursing and other care staff to not forget her med intervals as well as when they handle her leg movement during repositioning.
Ronald Williams is the specialist doctor that will be performing this procedure. After some inquiries with folks in high and distinctive places, it has been guaranteed that Lindy has the BEST doctor in San Antonio to perform her biopsy. Some very loving and concerned counterparts asked questions about whether or not Lindy was getting the pristine care we all desire for her. The answer was a resounding YES. Dr. Williams has impeccable credentials and did in fact attend MB Anderson, the stated "mecca" of cancer care.
After speaking with Lindy for a few brief moments today, I would like to convey her sincere appreciation for all of those concerned for her and her family's well being. She is still very drained and requests that her family be the only people in her company at this time. She DOES have email available now, if you'd like to cyber visit with a short note of encouragement or a loving prayer.
Let's see what God's plan will reveal this week as we prepare to stand united against these ailments!
Most Faithfully and Prayerfully,
~Amanda
