Oleta's mom is not doing good. Today they attempted to do a biopsy on her lungs to check for lung cancer. When they did, her lung started bleeding. Her kidney's also shut down. Oleta signed the DNR orders today. Oleta is finally breaking down some. Prayers for her.
Prayer requests are listed below.

GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!
Oleta J.'s heartrate is down in the 40s. Then all of a sudden it will be in the 80s. A lot of bouncing back and forth, and with no medicine being used to either bring it up or down.
Evidently, yesterday she was awake enough to change TV channels. Today she was just a zombie.
GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!

I saw your update. Continuing prayers until you tell me otherwise.
We just got back from Austin. Maida had won a bunch of free tickets to the Capitol City Comedy Club and included Michael and me. It was nice to get out and laugh with good friends.
I had a not very productive day. Got up this morning and my mom called which always seems to through my day off. I had to go to unemployment which is barely a 1/2 mile from my old office, so I met up with a former colleague for lunch. By the time I got home, it was nearly time to leave for Austin, so I applied for a job that I'd found earlier in the day and got ready to leave.
While we were at the comedy club, I'd set my phone to silent, but left it on the table. Just before 9pm, it lit up with a 214 number on the caller ID. I didn't answer it because it was midway through the show, but when I checked the voicemail, it was a recruiter from Komen in Dallas calling me for a phone interview tomorrow. I'll call her back in the morning and hopefully be able to either schedule a phone interview for early before we're planning to get in the car or schedule an in-person interview for late in the afternoon. Breast cancer awareness and prevention is one of my personal causes so this could be a dream job for me. I'm hoping it goes well.
That's all I've got for today. Tomorrow will be a long-ish day with interview, travel, etc. so I'm going to try to get some rest. Prayers for all who need them.
