Happy Sabbath,

First of all I noticed that the post I wrote last Monday didn’t get posted to the page.  I have asked Rick if he can do his magic again.   If not I will try to do a recap.

Tonight we need your prayers for Chantel.  Yesterday afternoon after her nap I noticed the left side her of neck was very swollen and a golf-ball-sized hard mass was pushing out the skin.  I rushed her to the doctor and the first doctor we saw thought is was in the muscle, but the senior doctor said that it is a swollen lymph node that is pushing out the mandible muscle.  Both doctors at first glace at her said, “wow, I can see it from here.”  They don’t usually see lymph swelling this bad. We are going back tomorrow at 10:40 in the morning and if it has not improved to their satisfaction they will send us to ENT to have it drained.  As of tonight it doesn’t look good.  The swelling has gone more into her face as well, and the redness is back.  Even though she is on antibiotics now she is worse than she was last night.  She is also suffering from impaired balance.  She keeps falling and she has added several good bumps and bruised to her head pain today.  Poor thing.  Please keep her in your prayers.

Thanks, Cheris
