Former Grace Brethren Pastor’s Wife Diagnosed with Leukemia
Posted by Liz Cutler Gates on July 27, 2009
Sue Micheals, wife of Dan Michaels, Grace Seminary graduate and former youth pastor at the Winona Lake (Ind.) Grace Brethren Church (in the 1980s), has been diagnosed with Acute Myelogenous Leukemia and is a patient in the Cleveland Clinic. (He is currently the pastor at Grace Community Church in Alliance, Ohio.)
Here is a portion of a message he sent to many of the young people who had been in his youth group in Winona Lake (and used with his permission).
Sue was diagnosed with Leukemia last Friday July 18 about noon. By 5 p.m. she was at the Cleveland Clinic. They did their own bone marrow biopsy on Saturday morning. By Monday morning the rest of the diagnosis was Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML). They started chemo treatment immediately (what a great way to start the week!). She will be in Cleveland Clinic from 4-6 weeks taking chemo through a port in her chest. Her hair will fall out about week three. She has a great group of doctors treating her!
