Posted for Sheri...
Hi All,
Well, this roller coaster ride hasn’t been enjoyable for any of us. Unfortunately today wasn’t a very good day for Wally. After yesterday I was really looking forward to seeing him bounce back to feeling good. He had some cream of wheat for breakfast and chicken noodle soup for lunch but basically only ate because he didn’t want to face the wrath of Sheri :o He was feeling nauseated again today and has a lack of energy. He is basically feeling like he did when I brought him in on Monday – minus the fever. He hates being in the hospital and the fact that he is not feeling much better after 5 days here can get kind of depressing. They will do the CT scan later tomorrow and then the ERCP on Monday. Hopefully the doctors can pinpoint what is going on in his system and fix it. I remember the first day back in September when we came to Virginia Mason for his surgery, he put on the little white board next to his bed where it’s posted “Goals Today:” - “Fix Wally”. It’s very hard not to have expectations and yet I know we need to take each day as it comes.
Psalm 46:1 “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.”
Until tomorrow,
Sheri

Hi Wally and Sheri,
Thank you for updating tha blog early for those of us that are on the East coast and ready for bed!
I wish I had great words of comfort and wisdome but we must hang on to our Lord's promise that He will never leave us or forsake us. Cling to Him and to each other for strength.
We love you, Don and Letha AKA Bud and Boone!
"How precious is your steadfast love, O God! The children of mankind take refuge in the shadow of your wings. They feast on the abundance of your house, and you give them drink from the river of your delights. For with you is the fountain of life and from your light do we see light.
Oh, continue your steadfast love to those who know you, and your righteousness to the upright of heart!"
Psalm 36:7-10
I love you, Sheri and Wally. I am praying.
Hi, Wally and Sheri. We are praying for you from Colorado. Grateful for the good day yesterday and expectant for a better day tomorrow. We will pray specifically for the things you have asked for and trust God to answer the many prayers being lifted up for you daily. We love and miss you. Chris and MJ.
I am praying for more good days...
Isaiah 40:28 - 31 "The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathon. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles, they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."
Love you both,
Tami
Wally was disapointed to hear you had a bad day Saturday. Iknow you are ready to get out of that place and be at home. Hopefully your test results will be good and they will let you go home.Keep me posted when you feel like it and I look forward to our visit out there in a few weeks.
your friend Roy
Hi Wally and Sheri,
Our prayers are with you. I took my Mother to the Dr. today and told her your update and she said I pray everyday for Wally, he is such a sweet man and always gave me a hug. And of course, I agree. Hugs to you. Love, Wade & Janie
Wally, Wally, Wally - your ducks are in a row - and we love you so so so much and trust that in life or death, God will be glorified, and your family and you will be comforted.

Sheri & Wally,

Roller Coaster - of Love - say what?
Remember that song by the Ohio Players?
We have been reading Wallygrams and Barb has gotten a few updates from Sheri. Sounds like tough times right now. The roller coaster of life is hard enough! Throw some cancer into the mix and its like a roller coaster without seatbelts. Scary, and just hope you get through it. Then you go through treatment. Its the same roller coaster, no seatbelts, and now blindfolded! Not knowing what's ahead, which way to lean or when it will be over. Totally at the mercy of others. Doctors, nurses, specialists, the cancer. And ultimately, God. Its not easy to ride the roller coaster blindfolded, but knowing that God is at the controls can hopefully give you a sense of peace amongst the chaos.
I think your coaster may have more corkscrews and "loop the loops" than most people: ) but all riders on God's coaster always end up safe and sound and wrapped in his loving arms. Sending God's grace, good vibes and white light your way
