Community Breakfast Planned to Benefit Cagle Family
July 28, 2016 at 4:25 p.m.
By Staff Report-
Lee Supply of Fort Wayne will partner with NMCCC to cover all meal expenses to enable 100 percent of the proceeds to be donated to the Cagles. The all-you-can-eat breakfast will be Dec. 1 from 7 to 10 a.m. at the church at 310 N. Walnut St.
This Thanksgiving, the Cagles find themselves in much the same situation as last year – recovering from a recent hospital stay and surgery in the battle against breast cancer.
But Thanksgiving 2012 offers a light at the end of the tunnel and a new attitude about the complaints of daily life and the faces of those who will share their Thanksgiving table with them.
In October 2011, Krista successfully underwent surgery to remove a lump in her left breast. During the next few weeks a port was inserted in her right arm and her chemotherapy routine began. She prepared herself for the sickness to come and the eventual hair loss that would signal the progress of her journey – she was not prepared for the blood infection that shut down her kidneys causing strain on her body as her heart and lungs struggled to function.
After a month-long stay in the hospital where Krista fought for her life, she was moved to the Lutheran Rehabilitation Hospital to begin the journey back as she relearned basic skills – how to walk and write and to regain her strength. In November 2011, she returned home to family and continued her heception treatments.
In March, Krista underwent a double mastectomy when they discovered another stage 2 mass in her breast. A third surgery in May to remove scar tissue and in November she had her fourth surgery as she was finally healthy enough to begin the first phase of breast reconstruction.
Diabetes and chemotherapy treatments continue to take a toll on Krista’s body, but she is strengthened by the support of family and friends and her faith that God is in control. Her husband, Gary, and her mother, Linda Winger, have spent many days at the hospital while friends and family served as shuttle bus and care takers for their sons Justin and Andrew.
Donations may be received by the Congregational Christian Church Benevolence Fund for the family. Contact the church at 260-982-2882, for more information.
