CHERYL'S PROGRESS

We had a nice chat last night, my sister and I.  It sounds to me like her living room is loaded down with flowers and Dwight is scurrying around in an apron with a list in one hand and a pile of laundry in the other.  Maybe he wouldn't like that description, but Cheryl made it clear that he is a huge help to her.  Her sisters would like to show up and ease the work load for him.

Cheryl is feeling much better than a week ago, for sure.  She did have a trip to the doctor to see about swollen legs, which are not too much better yet.  She is really struggling with that eye problem.  I can't imagine being down and not able to read much.  She is praying that God will heal her eye since that surgery is out of the question for quite a while.  We are thankful for the eye trouble which alerted the doctors to the greater problem with her heart valve.

Don't give up praying for her now.  We do thank God for many, many answers to our prayers.  Take it easy, dear Cheryl, and soak in all the TLC you can!

PLEASE PRAY FOR CHERYL!

My sister, Cheryl, is having open heart surgery on Wednesday.  Here is a link to her daughter, Kari's,  blog where she tells about it.  And more here.  We are amazed at God's working on her behalf already to get her to this place.  We are trusting Him for a successful surgery and recovery.  Please also pray for Kari, Mari and Sean as they travel from Michigan.  We know God is in control of the weather and the roads too.

On our way to PEI...

for the November Bible Conference and the bridge is currently closed to high-sided vehicles, buses, motorcycles, cars pulling vehicles... HERE WE GO AGAIN! Last year the winds were gusting to 90 km/h. This year they are gusting to 95! Did they ever return? Check back!

PLEASE PRAY FOR ALISA!

Alisa is back in the hospital. She has been having more post-op pain than she should. The cyst has grown back in just two weeks time, so she faces more surgery. This has been and is a huge trial for the family but they have certainly manifested the grace of God in their lives. You can keep tabs on what is happening on Kari's blog. It is a blessing for us to continually get news from Kari since we are very concerned.
