From Elizabeth Kaeton:
Bad news just in: My brother John was just diagnosed with temporal lobe deterioration and early Alzheimer's Disease. He's 55 years old. Yes, that's 55. His wife, Mary, is the primary caretaker for their granddaughter and her aged parents who live with them. Needless to say, she is quite overwhelmed. I am too stunned at the moment to know how I feel, exactly, except terribly, terribly sad and deeply concerned for my brother. Of my three siblings, he and I have been the closest.
Prayers, please.
Elizabeth, My heart goes out to you and to your brother and his family. That is devastating news! I join you in your grief. It's a sad situation. I commit this whole matter into the hands of the all-loving God and pray that you all experience God's powerful and healing presence.
From Roseann in the comments:
Just want to let you all know I am feeling better. The stuff that goes in my feeding tube is working like a charm. My main issue now is I am having trouble with dialysis. I am suddenly unable to breathe and they have to put oxygen on me. It is a horrible feeling, like a panic attack. Right now they don't know what is causing it. Could be an insulin surge or who knows.
I know I ask for prayers a lot but please pray that this is cleared up quickly. Right now it feels like one of the last hurdles.
Love, Roseann
Thanks be to God that you feel better, Roseann. We pray that the doctors find the problem with the oxygen and the dialysis and correct it. Day by day, each problem as it comes, we pray. For each and every improvement, we give thanks.
Don't ever concern yourself with asking for too many prayers, my dear.
...pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
Prayers for John, Mary, Elizabeth, Roseann, Gary, and any who need them.

ReplyDeletePrayers for Elizabeth, her brother and Roseanne... Alzheimer's is nasty no matter what but at 55? Lord, have mercy.
ReplyDeleteSorrows, hopes.
ReplyDeletePrayers for all. Strange that I went to a meeting at our church yesterday on healing and one speaker used as a case example TLD. I had never heard of it before.
