You people prayed me out of a bad spot once. I need your help again.
Sunday night my mother-in-law, who is an absolute saint, had a blood clot on the brain aboard a cruise ship leaving Newark. The Coast Guard (bless them!) got her to a hospital in NYC. She had brain surgery late last night. She is still in a coma and cannot breathe on her own. She is only 67 and she has 5 daughters, 4 son-in-laws, a husband and a lot of grandchildren who love her dearly. Please pray that she comes back to us.
Further, I just received a phone call 1/2 hour ago from #2 son telling me that #1 son was injured badly in a car accident early this morning. He has a badly broken femur, broken ankle and a severe concussion. They are waiting for him to stabilize so they can try to repair the femur with a rod and pins and set the ankle. He is the devoted father of two young boys, my grandsons, who love their daddy dearly. They tell me it will be many months before he can walk or work again. He manages a Dominos and was delivering a pizza while short-handed. Please pray that he will heal quickly and completely.
Prayers sent.
Prayers...
Oh no! What a bad week for your family. You did the right thing: Freeper prayer has worked miracles. My prayers are going up for your MIL to come to and fully heal, and for your son to find that his injuries DO heal completely and much faster than expected.
Glenn, I'm so sorry about your mother-in-law. Prayers on the way for her, your wife, and the rest of your family.
I'm so glad your son is doing better. Continuing prayers for him, too.
I will offer up my communion tomorrow for your mother-in-law, your son, and whole families on both sides. I'm sure, in your mother-in-law's case, it certainly is a very difficult decision for all. I'll pray for your wife to know, she did what she could to remain true to her beliefs. God Bless her. And the rest of her family did too. God Bless them also. We have a fair and loving God that understands all these things far better than us. And I too, am Catholic. It's what's in your heart and soul that's important.
Praying that your son heals quickly and does well with pt. I was told after a car accident years ago, I may never walk again. I was 30 at the time and walked and played softball five months later(I had another woman run the bases for me) but I did well. Pray God, your son will too.
