UPDATE ON ANN AND JIM'S GRANDSON AND ON BIRDIE

From his mother:

He went in for his X-ray yesterday and the results came back today and were perfectly normal (he and I even got to look at the X-ray just after it was taken-- it was pretty cool). The next step is the ultrasound in 2 weeks.

Thanks for your encouragement and support. It means a lot to us.

Please continue your prayers.

If you recall, we prayed for Birdie a while back. Brian at Noble Wolfe received the following from Birdie:

I am finishing my fourth course of chemo, which will bring a new wave of cluelessness. But that's okay, because today's exam showed NO MEASURABLE TUMOR in my breast—and the last exam said the same about the node tumor. The large tumor measured six by seven centimeters at the start of chemotherapy, and the node was three centimeters. The kind of cancer I have (triple negative) is not always responsive to chemo, so we didn't know what to expect.

Ladies and gentlemen, it's working. I am so thankful and full of hope for my future. Hope is the stuff of life.

Thanks be to God, to all who prayed for Birdie, and for all who cared for Birdie during her illness.

PLEASE PRAY FOR DAVID (DAH-VEED) AND BIRDIE

Another David (a/k/a Dah-Veed) mentioned on Anglican Down Under the other day that he is undergoing some sort of cardiac procedure tomorrow morning. Please keep him in your prayers.

'Almighty God our heavenly Father, graciously comfort your servant David in his suffering, and bless the means made use of for his cure. Fill his heart with confidence that, though at times he may be afraid, he yet may put his trust in you; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.'

UPDATE: David's (a/k/a Dah-Veed) words from Anglican Down Under:

And I am sorely in need of a cardiac procedure whose date approaches next Thursday morning and I am still mentally preparing for that trip and appointment. I am too young (47) to have a bad heart, no!

Please pray for Birdie, Brian R.'s friend, who is undergoing treatment for breast cancer. Brian R. blogs at Noble Wolf.

'O God, the strength of the weak and the comfort of sufferers: Mercifully accept our prayers, and grant to your servant Birdie the help of your power, that her sickness may be turned into health, and our sorrow into joy; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.'
