JCF has left a new comment on your post "Please Continue to Pray For Sue And Fr. Ed":
Update (I'm posting on this thread, as it's linked to "The Three Legged Stool", where Sue&Ed are also being prayed for).
I saw Sue at home today.
Yesterday, she got put in a cast almost to her hip. As you might imagine, it's none too comfortable (and she's having trouble sleeping). Pain at the worst, itching when not in pain.
DESPITE this, she's in good spirits. She very much appreciates the prayers! And, for you animal lovers out there---and I know there are many in Episcoblog-Land---she's benefitting from the "ministry" of her 3 cats: Jasper, Sapphira and Zechariah (all of whom have found places on her hospital bed to love *g*).
I also saw FrEd today, at the (usual) Wednesday evening Mass. He seems slightly more together, too (the last couple of Sundays, between you and me, he came pretty close to biting a bothersome person's head off: the man's been at his limits!).
Please keep praying! [I asked Sue when she'd be back at church, and encouraged her to shoot for Shrove Tuesday, and pancakes. But maybe as early as Candlemas? "DV"]
Original prayer request here.
Thanks, Mimi.
ReplyDeleteAfter posting this here yesterday, I received an email from FrEd w/ more info.
First, the Bad News: she's going to be stuck in that gawdawful cast for *3 months* (and then have her knee replaced still later!).
But the Good News: as I said on the original post, in December 2007, Sue received a liver transplant. Her hepatologist reports it's doing so well that she can reduce one of her anti-rejection meds . . . which, along w/ her original liver disease itself, had contributed to her osteoporosis! So this is VERY good news! Alleluia!
Ed & Sue really appreciate the prayers, y'all. Thanks!
