Thank you dear FRiends for your prayers. We’re very grateful.
Brief update:
* Jak is being taken to London as he needs specialist care.
* It seems to be impossible to get the right sort of consultant to see him over the Easter break.
It’s not a great situation. I’d better get back to it.
Thank you again.
Praying!
Prayers up for Jak.
Easter Prayers for you all.
Another update:
A radiologist has been found, so Jak will have his surgery tomorrow (Monday) without having to be moved.
This is good news - thank you all for your kind prayers!
Things looked dire yesterday, but I'm glad to say that Jak has responded well to the antibiotic treatment.
He's much more cheerful today, and there was even some talk of him coming home.
(heavy sigh of relief)
FReepers have a wealth of experience with life and its gritty minutiae. For example: you guys are well aware of the lurking dangers of gut ailments. There are still things that can go wrong.
That caution aside, let me thank you all for your staunch support throughout this awful episode. Our prayers were heard, praise God.
+ Dear Christ +
This Eastertide has been a time of howling grief for so many.
May the victims of Sri Lanka, living and dead, find consolation and eternal life. May all spirits of evil be thrust down to hell. And may all abortion mills be stopped.
Against this backdrop of monstrous human atrocity, I thank you for Jak's life. Our family has been - very lightly - harrowed. May new life grow in us.
Thanks be to God!
Amen.
