From the recovery room

A special thanks going out to Sue Gerbrandt for the special outreach as she took the time to take Lanita personally to the O.R. And looked after her till things started. Well, things didn't go quite as planned. They found cancer attached to the liver, spleen. And spread through the abdominal sheath. Because of this they didn't remove the stomach it left everything as is and she will be going home tomorrow. I talk to the doctors tomorrow in regards to chemo and what we can do to give her a little more time. sorry that this post will be short but update again soon. Thanks for all your phone calls, emails and texts. Love from all the Larsons and Loyeks

    Dear Eldon, Lanita and Family
    It's well known that optimism is an important ingredient in the fight against cancer and we hope that you and Lanita and those around you can find as much optimism as possible. On a higher level, Lanita's circumstance reminds us again of the importance of having optimism (faith) towards our loving Creator's desire and ability to preserve life throughout eternity. We're praying for a natural miracle, but even more so that your faith would be strengthened and that you would find comfort in this difficult moment of life.
    Love from Jason and Pam Owen and Family
