ANOTHER WEEK OF DOCTORS AHEAD!!

Howdy from the R&L Ranch:

Well things are lining up, to get Judy all medically better.. this past Saturday she was rattling pretty bad again and wheezing pretty good, so off to see the Dr. . Since she is already set to get labs done on Tuesday, he had us get a chest x-ray done also. On Tuesday she will see Dr. Bui, her internist to get medical clearance for her upcoming knee surgery on the 26th.

On Wednesday we travel up to Lufkin, to have a chemical stress test performed to see if there may be problems with her heart! NOT suspecting anything, just a precautionary procedure.

On Thursday, John will be seeing a Dr. to try and get some relief in his left arm. He had pulled a muscle or pinched a nerve in his left side, while working at Amazon.com back on Dec 9th,, with our traveling around and with it being an intra-state workman comp claim, had a hard time finding someone to look at it.

We have had some cool temperatures but only had 2 evenings where it got below 25... we can manage that.. have used 30 pounds of propane 3 weeks in a row. hoping for constant warm weather soon!!

A first has happened to us since we have been Workampers,,, we have had 3 different campgrounds contact us and really was disappointed when we had to decline because of Judy's upcoming knee surgery and rehab (not knowing how long we need to stay here to get it accomplished.) Also heard from AZ and they were counting on John during spring training for the LA Angels. hopefully next year we have also received an invitation to join a different Amusement park for the summer and starting a CRM Chaplain Ministry , but again not knowing the out come of all the Dr we asked to
have them try us again next year.

We hope that 2011 is treating all of our friends well. There are a lot of you that need prayers (in fact too many to list individually so we just ask that you pray for all those that The Longs- On the Road are praying for.. but be especially in prayer for John's cousin Alice in Western Illinois that was taken into the hospital over the weekend with pneumonia. Also join us in prayer for 2 of our close CRM Chaplains Don Baker and Jack Gregory that their health holds for the remaining season at the RV parks in the Rio Grande Valley area. We also ask for prayers for our fellow NOMADS that are in the middle of the 1st work periods for 2011 that they have safe, and enjoyable projects and them safe traveling as they leave.

May God Bless each of you.
and remember that we love all of you also.
