I am asking you who pray to add my cousin Sharon Stovall to your prayers.
Sharon and I were almost litter mates........she is 5 months older than me and when
we were born our dads were serving in the Navy during the second world war.
Her dad was pastor to the crew and my dad was a carpenters mate.
Well, our mothers were best friends and mom and I stayed with Sharon and her mom for a time.
Literally we grew up together until my family moved out of the school district.
her dad is the reason I believe and like to share my faith.
Sharon survived cancer about 6 or 7 years ago.........but, she is now going through the next step.
They found a mass behind her bladder and she has some spots on her liver and they took her to KU-Med and
a trying to decide what to do.
They were going to try to shrink the tumors with Chemo, but they think they need to operate as soon as they can
that the cancer won't shrink with the chemo.
I figure that if and when they open her up...the news won't be good...........I really hope I am wrong, but
we all know this kind of cancer is not the kind to have.
Please add her to your lists (and her family) she has lost so much in her lifetime.
Her husband died when her 3 girls were under 10 and she never remarried..........her oldest daughter died a couple of years ago from MS and her mother just last year.....also Patty one of her sisters died about 4 years ago.,........she was a spina biffida patient and that is another story........but Sharon's father has been dependant on her for a long time and He also needs prayer.
Him being a minister is keeping him in good stead.....but he still needs our prayers.
I know this is a long message, but this family are just another reason I am who I am........and yes, I am hurting...........but, with Gods help we all will get through this.
Thanks........and AOYP............

Hi everyone,
Here is tonights update on Sharon....Peg is her sister and I think I will just keep posting the notes when I get them.............I just thought you all might like to know how she is doing. AOYP
Sonya talked to Sheila tonight and found out the latest on Sharon.
Her cancer doctor is Dr. Fleming. Her surgeon will be Dr. Oscapula (sp?).
They did an MRI last night and found out the tumor is larger than they first thought. It has spread to her liver and is attached to her pelvic bone and other vital organs. She has blockage of the bowels and they will be putting a colostomy bag on her in the near future.
She will be seeing a GYN-Oncologist some time tomorrow. They will need to try to shrink the tumor as it is too large to remove it now. She will be getting Chemotherapy because the amount of the radiation would be too much for her body to handle.
She will be getting 2 units of blood tonight as she is getting pale and her hemoglobin is at 7 1/2.
They took her off the IV that had dextrose and potassium because her blood sugar was running very high. They are giving her plain potassium now. They changed her insulin to MPH insulin....don't know for sure what kind of insulin that is, but that is what they are giving her.
She did walk 75 feet today and sat up in a chair for awhile so that is encouraging. Sheila has been staying at the hospital with her since she was admitted to KU Med.
That's about all that we know for now. Thank you to everyone for your prayers and putting her on your prayer lists.
Dad is staying with us and overall is doing pretty good. He says he wants to call and talk to Sharon but he needs to be able to keep himself pulled together and he doesn't think he can do that right now.

Judy, it's so hard having a loved one who is suffering. Terrell and I offer our prayers for your cousin's health and the family's strength and comfort during this difficult time. Peace be.
Just wanted to tell you I heard from my cousins family last night and
the news is just what I thought.
The cancer has taken over Sharon's body and is too far gone to give her Chemo
or to do radiation.
She asked the doctor how long? and he said Months........we do know only God knows our
days end!!!
They will do the colostomy and I will let you know if and when she goes home.
Empty Nest, would you make sure to tell the church Sunday if it is your Sunday here in Longton.
I know the power of prayer will help her get though this.
I am so glad that God is in the picture and that Sharon does lean on him.
Thanks to all for praying for Sharon and her family.............You are the best.
Hugs and God bless you all..........AOYP
a greatful member.............Me
Prayers will continue for you all, no matter what.
That's right Diane.. Prayers of Strength.
Dear friend Judy, My prayers are going out to the One who heals, for you and your loved ones.
I am so sorry, and know everyone is in our prayers. Also, know God will take care of her.

Another update on sharon.........I want to thank you all for the uplifting help you
give me.
This afternoon Mom called and said that Sharon's dad passed away this afternoon.
He had a cold that went to into his lungs and developed pneumonia.
Sharon had just been sent home last Monday to die (sorry that is the only way I can put it.....her cancer is growing worse than the California brush fires.....it is just a matter of time for her.......I know God's time, but almost daily there is a very big change in her.
Well they put Lester in hospital over the weekend with elevated blood pressure and extra fast heart beats and high potasium.
He hasn't been in the best of health in years....but was looking forward to helping Sharon.
He is our family pastor and taught me about being a Christian and showed it.
I just want to ask you all to lift this family in prayer.
Lester has a daughter in Texas and one in Topeka and a son in Georgia with Sharon living next door to him and
being the one he leaned on the most. Sharon took care of him and her mother before she passed away.
Sharon wants to live to see her great grand child born and this is a first for her. I think she said baby is due in May.
Thanks for being there for me and God bless
Prayers continue for you all. I believe since Sharon's father wanted to help her, he has gone first so he can welcome her home when it's her turn.
:'( Add my prayers to the chorus already doing so! :angel:
Thanks to all of you.
Sharon crossed over the 12th of March.
She is resting in the arms of God and her family.
I am sad she had to go so early.
But, I am so glad that I know where she is and
someday soon, I too will be there with her.
God is good. God is good.......Thanks be to God!
Judy, Sharon's family has certainly had a lot of grief to bear recently. We don't always understand "why," but, we can ask that question "When we all get to Heaven!" As the song says, "What a glorious day that will be!"
