PRAYER REQUEST SUNDAY and MONDAY Update on Baby Max

PRAYER REQUEST SUNDAY 

AND 

MONDAY 

(I got my post up so late I decided to add Monday)

Prayer Requests for the Week of Feb. 12-18th

Patricia's Friend's Infant Baby Max:

Max was not doing well as of mid week.  I have emailed Patricia and hope to get a current status ASAP.  I will update the blog as soon as I get an email back from Patricia.  Max's mother was overwhelmed with the knowledge that people all over the world was praying for her little baby boy.  Thank you my sweet friends.
***Monday update:
Good news on Max – he moves to Boston today. Doc there do some type of vein repair and then chemo to break down scar tissue to help heart work correctly. They have done this on six babies (I think someone told me that) and all six are still alive a couple years later. So much better news than a double lung and heart transplant, which is what they heard last week.

Please keep those prayers coming!
With love,
patricia

 TUESDAY UPDATE 2/14
 Baby Max and Gina (his Mom) are in Boston now.  Max is going for another cath to check everything out and most likely will have the vein repair surgery tomorrow.  Thank you for your continued care and prayers for Baby Max.

Love,
patricia

Jannette's Mother:  

Loyal Follower, Jannette, asked me to request prayer for her 83 yr. old mother who has been diagnosed with cancer in multiple areas of the body.  Prognosis is not good, HOWEVER, Jannette says her mother has made clear to everyone her "ROOM" is reserved and she's ready!  What courage and Strength!

Cheri: 

 another loyal follower is saddened over news that the mother of her granddaughter's best friend has been diagnosed with ovarian cancer.

Gmama Jane:

Grandson James has two more weeks of intensive Physical Therapy for post surgery lengthening of his ham string muscles.  He's missing his Daddy very much!  Josh has to stay and work during the week but gets to see his family on the week-ends.  My daughter told me the saddest little story:  Thursday, James was convinced his Daddy was going to be in their room when they came upstairs after dinner at the Ronald McDonald House.  James walked in the room, giggling, undeterred by the fact that he didn't see his Daddy.  Josh and James always play a game of Hide-n-Seek so little James on his walker assumed his Daddy was hiding.  All the while, Mama kept telling him that Daddy wasn't coming till Friday night.  After searching in every nook and cranny of the small room, and realizing Daddy really wasn't there, James slumped to the floor, lowered his head, and said, 'I guess Daddy just forgot where I was."  At this point of the story, I burst into tears.  Of course, my daughter immediately arranged for James to video chat with his Daddy to reassure the little fella that Daddy was indeed coming Friday after work.  Isn't that the most pitiful little story?  I could just see him with his head hung down wondering where his Daddy was.  In his little mind, Daddy didn't know how to find the Ronald McDonald House.  

I'm pleased to report that James had a great week-end with his Daddy and all is well.   Two more weeks to go!

Additional Prayer Requests:
Josie's friend: Connie over at "A Day at aTime"  http://www.adayaatime2.blogspot.com/  has Strep Pneumonia and hospitilized.  She's a real spunky gal and needs our prayers.

Lisa: Her 22 yr. old friendship with Selina and she is broken over her friend's grief at losing her 24 yr. old son.  Can any of us imagine that grief?  Perhaps someone out there knows that pain and could offer a special word of encouragement.

Kaaren :  The Painted Quilt.  Many of you may know her and already know of her struggle with cancer & Chemo treatments aways from home.  Kaaren lives in Nova Scotia and designs a monthly free embroidery design.  She is a lovely person and needs our support.

That's my story for this post.  Another week begins tomorrow and I always look forward to Monday mornings now that I'm retired.  A whole week with my Sidekick Scott and 6 days of doing primarily anything I want to do! 

BLESSINGS
