My sister’s name is Tiffany Perrine.
Tuesday, January 30, 2007
I know God has His own ways and stuff. Sometimes He answers prayers like we want and sometimes He doesn't. I'm not questioning Him but just asking you to remember my sister, Tiffany, in prayer. She's my only sister and she's a very, very good person with a very, very good family and she's already been through a lot healthwise over the years and this is just another thing. She's 40. And I know that's not how she wanted to greet her husband (see below) who got back from a year in war yesterday. He also lost his older and only brother (who was in his 40s) to a sudden heart attack last year and they were like best friends. So it's just tough - bad tough - and I'm sitting halfway around the world really, really, really broken right now because I can't do anything about it, but cry. And pray. And ask you to pray, if you will. Even just once. More is good but if it’s just once - I’m still grateful. She only has one more of the "bad" shots left in her chemo treatment. I think she gets it in 2 weeks.
The email message I got on her update and what happened yesterday is below. It's from my dad. Thanks.

Tuesday morning.
Grant made it home safely yesterday morning. Mom, the girls and I met him at 0730 at the Army Air Base at Fort Benning. The arrival ceremony was beautiful. The Army does a very nice job of receiving their people back from an overseas assignment like that. We were very moved.
Then things went sour.
Grant called to tell Tiffany he was home and the neighbor answered and said she was being loaded in an ambulance. She was having contractions below the rib area and was passing out. So she called the neighbor who came down and called for the ambulance.
So we went from the Army base directly to the hospital.
They ran all sorts of test. Including Cat scans and a brain scan. They also ran heart test. They could find nothing wrong with her at that time. The Oncologist kept making the decisions via the telephone (after each test was done and read) and around 6pm sent her home. He called last night late to talk to her and they deduced that it was a contraction caused by the chemo. So, although it was scary, it was not dangerous.
Please pray for Tiffany for complete healing.
Bye and love,
