Thank you to all who are supporting the Schwarz and Wilken families. I just got off the phone with Jeff and would like to give all his many friends an update on Beth's medical situation.
First of all, Jeff always asks me to thank all of your for your support. He greatly appreciates the financial support, the emotional support, the e-mails, the prayers, everything that he's received from hundreds of friends he didn't even know he had.
Please keep writing to David Strand, President Kieschnick, and all the powers that be. Keep signing the petition and directing your friends to do the same. All of these things are a significant help and have a good chance of bringing Issues, Etc. back in some form. Keep giving to the Schwarz / Wilken fund by sending your donations to:
Wilken / Schwarz FundThe Schwarzes spent most of the week at the Mayo Clinic. Within an hour and a half of their arrival, they had a three day itinerary of medical tests for Beth and appointments with four medical specialists. Every appointment was on time. Many were early. The staff was courteous and loving at every moment. They do not have word on Beth's diagnosis or treatment yet, but they do have a lot of encouragement and hope.

They will return next week on Wednesday to get test results and start Beth on a course of physical therapy. I'd like to add my own thanks to that of the Schwarzes to the staff of the Mayo Clinic as well as to the pastor who allowed them to stay in his parsonage during their visit in Minnesota.
