Calling for Prayers

Hello Family and Friends,

Mary has had a tough afternoon.  She woke in quite a bit of pain in her back.  Her sciatica has also made things extremely painful and she is unable to move her right leg.  Given this, she went to see the Doctor thinking a bladder infection was the issue.(Thank you Lloyd for driving her!  You are certainly a living angel) Once at the Doctor he immediately felt she needed to go to the E.R to get an MRI to see what the heck is going on!  She is in a tremendous amount of pain so the nurse has administered pain meds along with Valium so she's able to lay on her back for the MRI, which would be impossible had they not knocked her out!  After the MRI they will do an ultra sound on her leg. We are optimistic that we will know something this evening!  Jimbo and Annie are with her at North Memorial and they are overwhelmed at how the entire staff has handled Mary's care!  They have been incredibly efficient and have managed her every need!  We are so happy to have things moving along so quickly.

Heavenly Father, We lift your child, Mary, up in prayer.  Please, good and gracious Lord, lay your loving hands upon her and comfort her as she is in so much pain! Wrap her in the embrace that only you can provide and give her the strength she needs.

Answer me when I call to you
O my righteous God
Give me relief from my distress
be merciful to me and hear my prayer
Psalm 4:1

Continue your prayers!  God Bless all of you and your commitment to the constant prayers!
