Just a quick note, please pray for her tonight. She is really pretty sick, and has been since this morning's procedure. She hasn't been able to eat, and just hurts. Lots of nausea. Minnesota may be a perfectly wonderful place, but right now we're not big fans.
She needs to not be sick for a few hours; she needs to not hurt; she needs to be able to sleep; and tomorrow she needs to be able to keep food down.
Also, she had to drink some fairly nasty medication tonight for tomorrow's test, and was unable to keep it down. Please pray that she is able to get the test done tomorrow despite that difficulty.
Thanks,
Tony

Honey, it is just hurting me so very much to "hear" the pain and concern in your voice. You love DeeDee so much and have always been her 2nd protector (God is her main protector)wanting to keep her safe and not be hurt. DeeDee has what she needs and that is God and you. You both have so many people that love you and are praying for you every minute of the day.
I wish I could be there to help. DeeDee was so good to me in Florida when she took me to my doctors. The day I got so sick, she was so compassionate. I just wish I could be there to show her the same compassion and help.
The same scripture keeps coming back to me time and again. It is the scripture I have had in my heart for the past 6 years...
"Do you not know? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth does not become weary or tired. His understanding is inscrutable. He gives strength to the weary. And to him who lacks might, He increases power. Though people grow weary and tired and the vigorous stumble badly. Yet those who hope in the Lord will gain new strength; They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run and not get tired and they will walk and not become weary. Do not fear, for I am with you. Do not be anxious for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you. Surely I will uphold you with my righteous hand."
Tony, God never sleeps, but watches over those who call upon His name, those who believe and trust in Him. He alone can calm your fears. He alone will give DeeDee all that she needs. And one of those needs is you. I am so very proud of the Christian man and father that you are. God has truly worked in yours and DeeDee's life. I feel He still has much more He wants for you two to do so He will sustain you both through this time.
I love you both... Mom
Tony,
I have just printed these specific prayer requests that you have mentioned and will be lifting Dee Dee up. I am so sorry that she is going through so much (not too easy on you either!) and pray that the Lord sustains her as only He can. God bless you, in His perfect keeping.

P.S. Please give her a big hug from me.

Dear Tony & Dee Dee,
I've recently had the mental image of approaching God with prayer concerns and laying them at His feet, knowing that He will lift them up into His loving arms ... tonight that's where I place you both, trusting that you will find peace & rest & comfort to get you through the night and Tuesday, too. It is so difficult to want to take care of people we love, and not be able to "fix" everything that's wrong. God give you peace, in your trust in Him.
Yesterday after I shared a bit of your story in our service, one of the retired physicians in our congregation came up to check with me on how you're doing. He remembers Gabe's story, and occasionally asks how you're all doing, anyway. He's somewhat hard to read, but I think that he truly cares about people, and I know that he is a strong Christian man. So I also believe that he will be praying with the rest of us.
I'm amazed that you are able to keep us connected to what's going on there in Minnesota. But perhaps your "blogging" helps remind you of how many people love you, and join your prayers daily (and at night, too!).
"...therefore, have I hope. It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning; great is thy faithfulness. The Lord is my portion, saith my sould; therfore will I hope in him." -- Lamentations 3: 21b-24.
Love to you,
Linda Lee
Prayers and more prayers go up for you guys all through my day. I'll be anxious to hear how today goes! I have prayed that it would be better than yesterday and that all the procedures can go as planned!

Tony & DeeDee:
I just wanted to let you know you're in my prayers. We will continue the prayers until you're on the other side of this situation. God is able! I pray that God will put His arms of love and comfort around you and grant you the wisdom you both need in making whatever decisions come your way. God will carry you. Take care and remember that many prayers are being lifted up for all of you. God bless.

Dear Tony and Dee Dee,
Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers. We hope the tests this morning have been completed and Dee Dee is now well on her way to feeling better.
There is a God above and he is looking out for Dee Dee and all the Clark's, during this difficult time.
Safe travels as you head back home.
Jeannie & Nick Balafas
We love you guys and are praying for you each day!!!

Tony,
After reading your entry from a couple of days ago, I want you both to know that through our Lord Jesus Christ, "YOU are true, you are honorable, you are just, you are pure, you are lovely, and you are commendable..." Don't forget to reflect on the fact that His love is over you, over arching, all encompassing. Just as your love for Dee Dee doesn't need to be stated nor visually seen, His love is all over and through you two, seen and unseen. As Christ said, "[if you] practice these things, the God of peace will be with you." God will bless you for practicing these things. Count on it.
Continuing in prayer for you and your family.
Joe
p.s. if the 'modified scripture' quoted above had been from the SRV (Southern Revised Version), it would have read, "Y'all are commendable, y'all are...", but I don't advocate using that version. :-)
