Thursday Sick Call
January 29th, 2009I Set Them Up; You Knock Them Down
Here is some serious stuff before I begin my day of frivolous activities.
Reader R. says her daughter-in-law has had an operation for a brain aneurysm. She is now having a lot of pain. R. asks that you pray for relief from pain and a swift recovery, and that God will help her daughter-in-law with her marriage, which is under great stress.
At last check, Leah Friedman had come out of her post-operative coma, but she was having trouble recognizing people, due to the stroke she suffered during the aortic valve replacement.
Mish Weiss sucked it up and decided to try Mylotarg. As you surely know, she is suffering from leukemia, and she did not respond well to a bone marrow graft. Mylotarg is a chemotherapy drug. It can cause liver problems, including pain.
I hate to say this, because I don’t believe in making claims on God’s behalf, but as long as you understand that I’m not predicting anything, I want to say that when I included Mish and Leah in my prayers last night, I felt a tremendous sensation of power and faith. It was very unusual.
That’s the sick list. Pray if you are willing.
