Thanks, Lyle, for this update - I realized, as I prayed for Barb at Mass this past Sunday, that it had been a long time since the last CaringBridge posting. I'm sorry that Barb is having so much trouble with weakness, mobility, and incontinence issues - you folks sure didn't need to come up with any additional penances for Lent!! Am very glad to hear that the medication, despite its nasty side effects, is still holding the cancer at bay. I will, of course, keep praying. And I'll add a special prayer that you two (Lyle and Kevin) can keep coming up with safe ways to help Barb move, without injuring yourselves - thank goodness there's a strong young man in the family now.

Thanks for the update, Lyle. I have been wondering how she has been doing. I pray for Aunt Barb everyday and am thankful to hear the cancer has not grown, May God give her and you strength in the face of weakness and help with the side effects. All my love to Barb and you, Kevin and Maria. May God bless , help and protect you.

Always you all are with my prayers. The whole family is a validation of God trust. I will keep praying that his Grace, Strength and Love be given.

I have been praying for Barb. It is good to get this update. You have been courageous in the face of great difficulty; so glad to know the drug has worked against the cancer. Praying for fortitude for your family.

Lyle and Barb, i keep you in my prayers and am thankful the cancer had been kept at bay with the drug. I appreciate the update and hope that the days are safe and memories can be made as a family! God bless!

We are continuing to pray for Barb and she is also on our church's prayer list. In my previous career as an OT I worked with her at Mayo, starting the same year she did. Thanks for the update, Lyle.

Oh thank you for this update! We continue to pray for Barb, and we will continue to offer prayers especially for the requests you have mentioned. God bless you all!
