Dink

Saturday - February 14, 2009

I don't usually ask for anything when writing the blog - unless it is a response to a little contest we have come up with to see how many readers we have.

I am asking that you please include my oldest brother in your prayers. He was taken by ambulance to the hospital after suffering what appears to be a stroke. As of right now it appears his right side has been affected and his speech is slurred. We are not sure if it is permanent or not.

Those of you who read the blog know how much my family means to me. Dink will never ask for anything, but would give you his last dime and the shirt off his back if you needed it. I am asking for him, Rhonda, the boys, Mom, Mike, and me - please say a special prayer for him! I have seen many prayers answered, and many family members come through medical crisis. I know God has a plan for all of us, and I also know he is a loving and caring God. May the prayers you lift up to our heavenly Father give us all strength, the doctors wisdom, and Dink recovery from this ordeal.

All prayer will greatly be appreciated. As of this moment Mom does not know about Dink - she is dealing with the lost of one of her foster sisters who is to be buried Sunday. Please lift Mom up to be able to handle this news about her oldest son.

In Christian love,
Sue

Update: He is now in MICU - still confused with time telling if this is to last! I know God is listening to all our prayers, and we all appreciate your prayers!
