Hey there... I found a few pictures to show what we've been doing instead of blogging. This first picture is kinda momentous actually. When we first came back from Toronto Ramona was having a hard time walking with her crutches. Here, five days before lung surgery she is cutting some grass. In all honesty it's been pretty frustrating. Ramona has only been off her pain medication for a few days and the limp is much worse than we expected it to be at this point.
This is me on my birthday. Ramona bought me some steaks to make on our new BBQ. I felt very full after my two T-bone steaks.
Yesterday we were camping out in Clear Lake with Ray and LaVissa and Elsie. This is our transportation. Ramona helped peddle occasionally, but made sure that any uphill cycling was on my own.










Today we're sitting back in our room back at the AIM Head Office in Scarborough, Ontario. It was about 10:30 by the time we got out of the airport (Thanks to Tim Brown for the ride) and we're getting settled in here as we write. Tomorrow at about quarter after ten Andrew is coming to pick us up to take us to the Toronto General Hospital (Thanks to Andrew and Eva for letting us use their car again). Ramona will be admitted then and the Hospital stay will begin. Surgery is scheduled for Tuesday morning. Thanks for praying ya'll.
For now,
Earl


P.S. Ramona has had quite a bit of trouble sleeping. That is definitely something to pray about.

Hey guys,
our thoughts and prayers are frequently with you and will be all week, esp as you head into surgery. Hoping you can be as brave as ever and feel God's strength carrying you thru every moment. I also hope that peace can replace any fear that might try to take over. If God is for you, then who can be against you?
Love Christy

Earl and Ramona,
We will definitely pray for you during this difficult time. Remember God is with you even when you are away from your family and friends and He will hold you close through your surgery and the healling process to follow.
