Some prayer requests for those who pray:

1.  Zach’s Grandma Jackie is going in for hip surgery early in February.  She is in a lot of pain and has never had surgery before.  Actually, until the last few years, she had never even taken asprin or an antibiotic…she has always been really healthy, so I imagine this is a frightening thing for her. Please pray that her pain is reduced, the surgery goes well, and she heals quickly.

2.  My Dad’s cousin Sheryl is in the hospital in her last hours of life.  (or at least last days).  (actually, her dh, Tony, might be the cousin, not sure…the “in law” title is always dropped in our family…once you are married you are as much family as blood-line)   She has been fighting cancer for some time and has said that she wants no more treatments and just wants to go home.  I went to school with all of the kids (actually had a crush on one of the sons when I was too young to understand what ‘related to’ meant), and the daughter, Lauri, and I were in the same small class together from the time we were in preschool through college, and we were both involved in theater & forensics, the same church camp growing up, and they went to Grandma & Grandpas church, so I saw her in Sunday School and their church things when I went there.  We spent much of our lives being both allies and rivals.  This mama is one of the only people whose house I spent the night at growing up doing sleepovers, and she was also very involved in school activities, so I knew them all really well.  One of my favorite pets was born on their farm too.  They are all such great people and all had a real talent for making people laugh, and it just breaks my heart to think of the pain that family is going through.  Please pray for this family, and for her passing to be peaceful and gentle. 

3.  That Joy continues to recover and the antibiotics are effective so she does not have to have open heart surgery again, and pray that her digestive system starts working better.  She is losing weight and her body is having problems processing the food she does manage to keep down.  She is doing better than she was, but still isn’t healthy yet.

    Darn it Bede submitted that. I meant to say I hope all goes well with everyone and that Sheryl’s family finds some comfort.
