How to pray...

So many are praying for us. Thank you! Here are some specific ways you can be praying.

1. John had a MISERABLE weekend. Yesterday he was very weak and in excruciating pain. The have taken him off any pain meds that have aspirin in them (so he won't bleed out at the angiogram); the replacement pain meds do not do much for his headache AT ALL. So yesterday he was in a great deal of pain, and he was very weary from the pain combined with being weak on his right side. Today he is VERY discouraged about his health (it is a HUGE blow for him to be this weak and frail) and about our finances (he said today, "How am I supposed to relax and take it easy so I can get better when we have NO idea how we're going to pay the bills?").

2. Finances....already the pain is coming. John was out of work from his second job for 8 out of 10 days in the last pay period. Not sure where the money to pay the 1st of the month bills is going to come from. We ALREADY need a miracle.

3. Testing/appointments this week.... tomorrow is the angiogram. Pray that it goes without any complications. Thursday we meet with the neurosurgeon to determine if he needs surgery or not. Friday we meet with another neurosurgeon for a second opinion.

4. Noah....is starting to show a bit of the stress of all of the trauma our family is experiencing. We have told him a little more about John's condition then we told the littler ones. Please pray that we have told him enough, but not too much.

5. God be glorified. All this pain... All this suffering.... my cry is that God will be glorified through this so that it will all be worthwhile.

Thank you for your continued support.
