I wanted to thank all you for praying for my Aunt Bonnie. She had exploratory surgery today where they put a scope down her throat and took some samples of her lungs. They believe that when they do the surgery to remove part of her right lung where the cancer is they will get the cancer and she will have to do chemo and she will live a good long life. So it isn't terminal after all. They will be doing the surgery after the first of the year. They will remove about a third of her right lung. She quit smoking 5 years ago but still got lung cancer. My Uncle Joe died of lung cancer 5 years ago. Which is another incentive for me to kick the habit.

She is resting soundly at the hotel tonight and hopefully be able to get out and go home tomorrow. She lives in Seattle so it will take a bit to get home tomorrow. She has a laptop so is able to keep us updated throughout the whole ordeal.

Again I wanted to say thank you for your prayers and say continue to pray for her.

Please pray for me also that I can finally kick that old nicotine habit by January 14th. I go see my surgeon in Little Rock to get the ball rolling on my next round of surgeries. I need to have hernia repair and get rid of some of this excess skin I have hanging on my tummy. He has already agreed to do it but I know that if I am still smoking he will change his mind so I need to quit by then. My quit date is Monday and so will need the most prayers that day because I will be getting money that day and the temptation to buy them will be great. I do ok if I don't have them in the house because I have the lozenges to suck on and also have mints I can also suck on but if I have money I want to go buy them. So I need to get through Monday shopping and getting gas and then hopefully be able to break the cycle.
