Back in the Hospital - Please Pray!

Linda is heading back to the hospital. The doctors are concerned that the congestion in her lungs may turn into pnuemonia, and we need to take care of the problem now. If you have visited this site frequently, you know that challenges she has with immobility, liver, diabetes, extremely high cholesterol, all conspire against her health. Linda's condition has worsened, but do not think we are despairing. First, as always, our hope is in the Lord, not in this life. Second, we are grateful that Linda has begun taking fairly large doses of food supplements to assist in her recovery. Will it make a difference? Only the Lord knows - and He is in control and has been all along, anyway! Our trust is in Him!

Since that is the case, will you join us in asking Him for mercy on behalf of Linda and for those who love her dearly? I know that God is merciful no matter the outcome, but Philippians 2:25-30 will help you understand what I mean. At any rate, we need your prayers. I am home to pick up a few things and will head back to the hospital where our daughter, Autumn, is helping Linda to get checked into the hospital. Liz and Michael are heading here from the mountains. We do not feel that this is a crisis, but it is quite serious. Thank you SO MUCH for standing with us in prayer!
