Prayer

An update and two more requests

  • It looks like Aunt Judy’s is going to need a transplant. I’m not sure whether it’s kidney, liver or both. Keep the prayers coming!
  • My friend Brook’s brother and his wife lost their son last week to SIDS. As Brook said, “the need for” your prayers “is not likely to pass soon.”
  • Another friend, Cynthia, recently received worrisome news at her 20-week ultrasound. Please pray for the baby, Cynthia and her family and their doctors.
    • Family matters

    Rockford has been having trouble with his eyes for awhile now. In addition to their usual twitchy-ness, they’ve been really dry and generally uncomfortable. So we sent him to the eye doctor, who (not surprisingly) determined that he needed glasses.

    He swears he wasn’t thinking of The Doctor when he chose his frames. I do not believe him. Do you?

    Prayer

    Your prayers are needed

    My Aunt Judy’s liver and kidneys are failing, and the doctors’ tests haven’t found a reason yet. She’s been in her local hospital since last week.

    A few things about Aunt Judy:

  • At Christmastime, her old house always smelled like you’d stepped into a Norman Rockwell painting. There were cookies on every surface in the kitchen. And they were all delicious.
  • She’s exceptionally huggable, like a favorite pillow.
  • She smells nice.
  • She and Uncle Dave were high school sweethearts. She calls him David. But she pronounces it “Davit.”
  • She has a great Midwestern accent.

    They may be sending her to a bigger, farther-from-home facility soon. Please pray for her comfort and recovery and for peace of mind for her husband and kids.
