It's been a rough couple of months. My wife's family (4 sisters and a father) overruled my wife yesterday after long discussions. They are going to have my mother-in-law's feeding tube removed. She's healthy but still in a coma. Her EEG and CT Scans have not changed since the first ones they performed in NY and the doctors simply don't expect her to ever wake up. Her father will meet with an attorney at 6 PM today to make the arrangements.

My wife is completely devastated. She's such a devout Catholic woman and her priest has advised her that removing the tube is not approved of as it is not an "extraordinary" measure to keep her Mum alive.

Please pray that my wife can get through this. She's a fine woman and I hate to see her so in agony.

An update on my son -- he is still in PT to get his leg straightened out. His ankle and knee are the sticking points. His femur is healing well.

Thanking you in advance.

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.

Heavenly Father, we return with grateful hearts that You are the Great Physician, and it is You who hold the life of every living thing in Your hand ... Job 12:10. I pray the Power of the Holy Spirit will so envelope this beloved woman that she will show signs of awakening. Let not her family be discouraged ... let them not be successful in withholding nutrition ... intercede on her behalf, and on behalf of her devastated daughter. Only You can touch the very depths of each heart and I pray for miraculous intervention, in the Name of Jesus, Amen ...
