From Renz:
I am sad to report that Mary Ann's mom, Mrs. Stewart, has yet to awaken
from the induced coma following brain surgery. The stopped the sedation
medication yesterday morning, but she remains unresponsive and on a
ventilator. Please keep them in your prayers. Thanks.
Prayers continue...
ReplyDeleteI should know better than to make a prayer request at MP's (he'll ignore it, if it doesn't strike his fancy). So please excuse a reposted request from a couple of days ago, GM:
ReplyDeleteThe wife of my priest has endured Too Damn Much in the past few years. A chronic liver problem, I think, weakened her bones (and may have done other things to leave her accident-prone. No, she doesn't drink.)
A year ago, she received a liver transplant (w/ all the usual Ups&Downs that that entails, vis-a-vis drugs and rejection-monitoring).
When I spoke to my priest prior leaving Michigan for my own (California) holidays, he was SO looking forward to a week-long post-Christmas Florida getaway.
Just last night, I got an email: while packing for the Florida trip, his wife slipped and fell on the Michigan ice, breaking bones AGAIN (this is about the 3rd time this has happened in the past 7 years).
Florida is cancelled, Sue is in pain, and Fr. Ed has that (via email) "there went my last nerve" sound (recall also, that my parish, St. James, Albion, is still recovering from a devastating sanctuary-losing fire).
Please pray for them---Ed and Sue NEED A FRIGGIN' BREAK! (the good, non-bone kind };-/ )
JCF, I have found that MP is quite good about posting prayer requests quickly, as long as the subject of the email says something like "Prayer request". Maybe yours slipped by him.
ReplyDeleteContinuing for Mrs. Stewart and family. My mother-in-law who had a stroke a couple of weeks ago is out of ICU and back in the nursing facility. We will be in the states next week so we can go see her.
