As many of you know, Zac's mom has been sick for the last couple of months. I got a message from her husband, Tom, yesterday and the following email.
"ZM is gaining a little bit each day, but is still very weak and needs the oxygen in order to breath comfortably. Any small amount of exercise just poops her out and movement brings pain. They had to cut their way through muscles in her back/shoulder to get to the growth on her lung so they say that will be a long time healing. She is beginning to get more range of motion without pain but it is a slow growing process. She is now getting to her computer for 15 -20 minute once each day, but has to much pain to stay longer or try to type so mostly she is reading email and is weeks behind with that. She has little or no appetite so is eating very little and as a result is losing some weight.
We are visiting with the oncologist on Monday 05/01. However, I believe we will have to put off chemo until she heals more from the surgery. I am told Chemo would slow or stop the healing process. So it seems likely that she will not begin treatment for at least a couple more weeks.
Thanks for the love, prayers and good wishes. Tom"
I know that all her FRiends here have been praying and sending their most loving thoughts ZM'S way. Please help her by continuing or even doubling your prayers for her. Also, most of us have enjoyed her talent with graphics, and the many times she has posted something really wonderfully done for our troops or even for one of us individually. What I'd like you do do is to give her some love on this thread. Get creative and give her something great to read. Thanks, and God bless.....
Strengthen in her the healing powers You have placed within us all. Guide the hands and hearts of those who are entrusted with her care.
May the knowledge of Your love, O God, as well as our love, give added hope to her and to her dear ones. May she find even greater strength in the assurance that our prayers are linked with theirs.
(This is as close as I could get it phonetically, in Hebrew)

We praise You, O Lord, the Source of healing and health.
Prayers continue.
WOW....I woke up this morning thinking about her...hoping to find out how she was doing..
My goodness, she has been through a lot...I am so sorry that she and her husband have had it so rough-
Of course, I will keep praying for her, and add her husband and family.
God, Please bless, ZM and her family...please heal her cancer, and bring comfort and strength to her husband.
