we are trying to get new IV access with a PICC line as the new/old ones have infiltrated and his arm is extremely swollen. Please pray that they are successful with a patent line and that the other area heals. He has more pain from his IVs than he does from his chest incision.
Praying for Miguel, RKessler. I had wondered how he was doing. It makes me want to cry hearing about his swelling and pain. There has been way too much hearing of people suffering lately, and hearing the moaning and groaning firsthand is heartbreak8ng.
Covering all in prayer and hopeful they will find a way to relieve Miguel’s pain and swelling.
Janice I would hope your brother will find comfort knowing the Lord is right there with him through this trial. It must be discouraging at times for him…covering him in prayer.
Praying Annie finds healing rest this day as well as those gathered about her…how are you and the family holding up Kathaleena?
Kizzie how are you doing. I think and pray for you often…
My daughter had to watch her granddaughter today, so this is the first day we haven’t gone to the hospital in the morning. We will leave as soon as her husband gets home from work and picking up the granddaughters from school.
Annie had an oxygen tube reinserted for another internal blood issue. She is on the dialysis machine. We haven’t heard anything more, so I am sure she is sleeping after the additional surgery. That was done in a less invasive way. The tube was then removed.
God is holding us up and I know He has Annie in his precious hands, too.
Thank You for keeping Annie safe through this complicated recovery that involves many medical miracle machines which have saved so many lives. I am praising You that we live in such times. Thank You for hearts that care so much for Annie and keep in constant prayer over her every moment of the day.
Please give Miquel relief from the swelling and pain and problems with the IVs. I pray that overnight, with rest, that things will be much healed and looking better.
Thank You God for watching over Kizzie’s family and bringing any who need to know Jesus into relationship with Him. Open their eyes and hearts to see in a spiritual manner a dimension they never took notice of before.
Thank You that You are taking care of my brother and being with him moment by moment. He’s had good food and kind people mostly caring for him. Please clear up his multi-faceted afflictions.
Thank you so much for your prayers, dear sisters-in-Christ.
Last year was an exceptionally hard one for me, mentally and emotionally, due to almost losing my home, and then all that was involved with saving it, and the plan for me to move to the senior living complex in town eventually.
(I am very grateful to have that to go to. The rent is based on income, so I won’t have to worry about large rent increases, and everything is designed to be safe for older folks. At 65, I don’t feel “old,” but I do feel more cautious about doing certain things. For example, walking up the lane to get my mail when it is a combination of ice and snow makes me nervous, and I am very careful about where I step.)
There is so much stuff I have to go through in this house, which has all of our stuff as well as much that we brought from my mother-in-law’s home when she moved in with us. I have lived here for over 25 years, and I’m sure you can imagine how things accumulate in that amount of time. It’s so easy to stash something in a drawer or closet, thinking we’ll get to it “later.” “Later” is kind of an imaginary time.
If the two-year wait list is accurate, then I still have until late winter or early spring of next year. But I have heard that those wait lists can go faster than expected, so I really don’t know how much time I actually have.
Sometimes I feel like I am bailing out a sinking ship with a teaspoon, but it is all I can do right now.
As for my living alone now since Nightingale and Boy moved out, I have been doing well, and adjusting (mostly) well. It is sad, though, to not have my grandson able to just come downstairs and plop down on the couch next to me for a few minutes like he used to. He does text me sometimes, though, which is sweet. And we do see each other occasionally, too. (They still live in town.)
Please pray that when the time to move comes, Nightingale will be on a break from her nursing classes. She would still be working, but at least not have all her time consumed between that and the classes and studying. Please pray for wisdom for me on how to deal with all of this, and for me to rest in trusting the Lord in the midst of all of this.
Praying for Annie and Janices brother.

It’s my brother’s carpel tunnel in his hand that causes him the great pain. He needs surgery for that, too.
