Prayers needed
« on: November 17, 2009, 09:39:03 am »
One of my "adopted" daughters (forever friend of my youngest daughter) husband has a slow leaking brain aneurysm and is in ICU at a hospital in Kansas City.  The doctors say that he has a 50/50 chance of survival and a 30% chance of having a stroke during surgery.  The surgery of course can't take place until the swelling is down in his brain.  This man is in his late thirties and really needs your prayers.  Since I know that you all are so good at sending positive energy, prayers and good thoughts, I thought y'all could send some to Chris Reynolds and his wife Sheryl.  They need them.
Thanks you,'

Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is.  The way we cope with it is what makes the difference.

Thank you all for the many prayers.  This just hasn't been a good week for our family.  Last Wednesday a very dear friend of mine's nephew was killed in a car accident in Edinboro,PA.  The 21 year old was a Senior at the University and was hit head on by two other students.  Three were dead at the scene.  On Friday, my cousin, from Canisteo,NY,  passed away suddenly at the age of 57, from an apparent heart attack.  It has definitely been a rough week and your prayers are appreciated.  I will keep y'all updated on Chris.  Right now they are trying to keep the pain down and are not being very successful.  They are hoping they can get the swelling under control so that the surgery can come sooner.

God Bless you all,
Brenda
