Trip to Old Home Place

Phyllis and I are off to Arkansas and points south. We will leave the land of Zion 4 October and return 5 Jan 2009. We go with some bittersweet thoughts. Phyll is very ill. We don't know as to whether or not she will be here next November. A disease called Sarcoidiosis has taken hold of her. It is an inflammatory disearse that attacks the skin and all major organs. So far it has attacked her skin, heart, and lungs. She is covered with half dollar sized lesions all over her body. She is going bald. Her heart races from 126 to 180 per minute. Her blood pressure runs from 90/60 down to 58/26. She is receiving excellent treatment so let's pray for the best.
