Yesterday was a quieter day for Peggy and Larry. Peggy had the rest she needed to continue the good fight.Thursday night was a rough night. However, Friday night she did well.
It is 4am on Saturday now and I am with Peggy while Larry gets much needed rest.She is sleeping well. Her heart rate is up in the 130 to 140 bpm range. Pray that it drops closer to 100 bpm.
Yesterday afternoon Larry took his kids to the miniture golf course. They had some alone time with Dad. Then they were out with Grandma, Grandpa and cousins for dinner and a movie.
I did not see Peggy yesterday, but those that did said she was resting much of the day. But at times she was alert and interactive. She is still very weak. She can be seemingly frustrated with her weakness, but then she'll drop into praising the Lord and reciting scripture to calm herself.
Thinking of a calming scripture ... Phil. 4:6,7 "Be anxious for nothing,but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.And the peace of God which surpasses all comprehension, shall guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus".
Ok let's think about this, here Peggy is in a very serious condition. We are not to be anxious, not to worry? Well that's right, if you push into close proximity to the Lord Almighty, He will offer a calming peace which is hard to comprehend, just like. Peggy did yesterday by quoting scripture. We can all do this through whatever minor or major trials we are facing. Are you worring? Then put it at Jesus' feet, don't take it on by yourself.
Prayer requests for today:
Pain Medication: Peggy does need rest and the pain meds do help rest her, however they put her in a more lethargic state. Plus on Thursday night the amount of meds were too much. Please pray that the nurses, doctors, Peggy and Larry can find the right balance for Peggy to keep her comfortable yet allow her to be alert.
Pray that her heart rate can lower near 90 to 100 bpm.
Pray for her ability to calm herself with God's Word and rest in Him and His plan.
Pray for the battle against the "evil wall".... Destruction of the cancer cells.
Pray that infection is prevented.
Pray for her breathing, that it is smooth and natural and her lungs are protected as well as all of her organs and the lungs have room to expand and contract.
Pray that Peggy, Larry, their family and all of us draw closer to Jesus than we ever have before.
Peggy get's peace knowing that all of you are praying and drawing closer to the Lord by all of this. If you get a chance please send in some testimonials on what God is doing in your life. We can read them to Peggy.
Blessings to all of you,Fight the good Fight and Keep up the prayers.

I hold dear the times we spent together on the Women's leadership team planning for events.. She always made me feel welcome and special. I love Peggy and Duncan and I love all the family.
Hi Peggy and Family,
Let me start by thanking God for putting You and your family in my life. You are & have been such a blessing always to me and my family. You are such a great friend, encourager and sister in Christ. The other night while the prayer meeting was going on,the family got together at home at the same time and read some scriptures & then each one of us said a prayer for you. We always pray together & especially for you, but I am ashamed to say that I can't remember the last time we all read scriptures together; not just alone. God is so powerful and always with us. It was a very spiritual time for our family. Peggy, I love you and will continue to pray for all of you. And I am thankful to God that I am able to see the girls each day, hug them, and thank God for them. You both are great parents.
Loads of prayers and love, Cara Espinoza and family
We know, as Christians, that our testimony is used to glorify God in the storms that come with life...."our life" is a term I've learned to use carefully and instead use "this life" more often. Lives are given to use for Christ, to glorify Christ, and to grow closer in Christ. The testimony of the Wolf Family is being used to teach me, and with out doubt others too, that the enemy uses these lives to change our focus....uses the pain, illnesses, and struggles that come to take the focus off of the One who gave us that first breath...it ANGERS me!! I am angered that I was fooled again. As I say that though I am quickly reminded by the Spirit that the human in us all will cause us to slip AND WHEN we catch the slip up WE ARE TO RAISE OUR HANDS AND WORSHIP!! When we feel the pain WORSHIP! No matter how hurtful the situation....we HAVE to put aside our will and pray for HIS will in ALL of life! It really is a win win situation all around when we do that....in my situation I see that it's better to live with these lungs while seeking and believing in the power and healing of Christ than to live feeling the struggle of each breath and sorrow. That's not to say that we don't cry, don't suffer, and don't feel. It's just to say that as life happens we RUN to CHRIST get under his cozy blanket of truth and LISTEN to what he is saying. I thank Him for using the prayers for the Wolf family and the believing on their behalf to minister to me too. I am thankful for the testimonies that surround me that can teach me to HAVE STRENGTH IN CHRIST AND WE WIN...ALL THE TIME. I am trusting and believing and earnestly praying for every one of you and my sister who finds rest and peace under his blanket today!! I love you guys!
Good morning, Joe. As the new day arrives, I find peace in knowing, it’s another blessed by God. As I go about my day, I am reflecting on Peg, and what she has brought to my life. For my birthday in 1993, Peggy gave me one of my most treasured gifts. It was a simple white box, and inside were strips of paper on which she had handwritten memories of the wild and crazy things we used to do when we were kids. It started from the day in 1975, when little girls on the playground decided to play a prank on the noon duty aid. I think I may have been the instigator with the other 6th grade girls, but several of the 5th grade girls joined in. We were goofing around in the bathroom, and Mrs. St. John came in to shoo us all out. We all ran out before her, and held the door shut so she couldn’t come out. As she pushed the door open, most of us scattered, I recall being grabbed by the arm, being reprimanded and getting benched. I saw Peggy standing there watching, and immediately pointed her out, and said, “She did it too!” Needless to say, our first official meeting was me getting her benched at recess. A friendship was born. This box of memories if filled with so much – and in essence, Peggy brought me back my childhood. For that I am eternally grateful.
Growing up in the seventies and eighties on Erten/Siesta was a charmed time. There were so many kids the same age – we’d play “Follow the Judge” on summer nights, ding dong ditch neighbors, and basically hang out, boys and girls alike, until one of us got the whistle to come in. I found joy in the fact that I could beat all you boys in arm wrestling, until you all hit puberty and outgrew me. We had a lot of fun, and I believe it was no accident that we all grew up on Erten/Siesta, but we there by God’s design. (continued on next blog)
(continued)
As we grew, our paths took us in different directions. We had different groups of friends, but we always had that childhood link keeping us connected. What I love about my friendship with Peggy, is that even though we don’t talk daily, and see each other often, when we do, it’s as if no time has passed.
Our childhood laid the foundation at who we would become as adults. Peggy has done so much more than lay the childhood foundation. Her faith has become the foundation for the rest of us to evaluate our own relationship with the Lord. As she has gone through this process, her faith has remained steadfast. She has relinquished all control to Him, and trusts Him completely. As she continues this battle, and her body rages against the disease, her faith remains intact. This is such an inspiration and example for all of us. I have told Peggy that her story has touched many. As you have also so eloquently written, this is so much bigger than Peggy. But it IS Peggy! Peggy is the link, and God has used her in ways to reach out to so many people. Christians, such like myself, have grown so much stronger in faith and in their personal relationship with the Lord. Non-Christians are seeing how faith can overcome. In pain, in fear, and in happy times, the Christian eye is turned to trust in, and glorify our Lord. They see this, and they begin to believe, and a seed is planted. God’s plan is in motion. He is pleased with Peggy!
I am so blessed in my friendship with Peggy. I thank God for that constantly. Peggy, I love you, I am so proud of you, and I am praying right alongside with you! I continue to pray for your beloved family – all the Haeusslers and Wolfs. You have instilled so much in your beautiful children – I am so proud of them as well. Jesus is their rock, and you as their mother, have shown them that rock. Jesus is pleased!
As I go back to the box of memories, from elementary school, Jr High, High School, College, London, and adulthood, I find joy in the memories. But beyond those memories, I find peace and comfort in the knowledge that God’s perfect plan for Peggy is in motion, and I have been blessed to be part of that plan. For THAT I am eternally grateful.
I love you all! In His Glory - Ann
I am so so saddened to hear about Peggy's passing. My heart goes out to the entire family. I will miss her smile and her amazing positive vibe.
I am so touched by Peggy's own words of hope and determination on her blog, which I have just discovered today. She's an inspiration!
I will keep Joshua and all of Peggy's loved ones in my prayers during this difficult time.
Love and Hope,
Sonya Cathcart
