Today in sunday school we got an update on Dotties condition. She's the lady who has tons of kids and has metastatic breast cancer and I take them meals every so often. She went to the doctor this week and the chemo is not helping at all. Her liver numbers are quite bad. So bad that they will not do another chemo. They have one last chemo to try, but they said it would put her liver in failure if they try it. I don't know what they are doing now. She came into our class and she still has that same smile on her face. I also saw her in the grocery store today. The boys just love her. I had signed up for another meal to take and told the boys they were going to help me with this one. They want to make snickerdoodles for her. :-) I really admire her strength, but I know that she must have her moments in private. She wants to live. She said that today. See, her mom is ill and has alzheimers and it's Dotty's wish that her mom passes before she does. They are both Dorothy's, so she joked that we pray for her mom Dorothy to go home soon and for herself Dorothy to stay. (it's okay to pray for someone to go home to the Lord)
Anyway, I've probably said too much already. I feel like I'm gossiping, so I'll stop now. But if you pray, would you please pray for Dottie.

Awww, I am so sorry. This must be really hard for you. This is such a scary disease. I just lost a good friend this past week to BC and it was really hard for me. It is so nice that you are helping her out with meals getting the boys involved. They are learning a valuable lesson. I will keep your friend in my thoughts and prayers.
Take care,
Trish
Have a Merry Christmas!!!!
