Continuing prayer for Jim’s parents

My long list of updates kinda stalled out there, but I’m back with a brief update this morning.

We would appreciate your continued prayers for my parents.  On Friday, my Mom was feeling weakness on one side of her body, and so she ended up in the emergency room.  She was with my Dad in emergency all day.  The doctor called for tests which took hours, then he wanted a specialist to see her, which meant another long wait.

Anyway, in the end she was sent home.  The tests came back negative, which probably means that the weakness was simply an "after-effect" of a stroke she had some time ago (excuse me if I skip the more technical explanations for now).

There are more tests planned for both my Mom and Dad, scanning this, that, and the other thing.  One next month, one still to be scheduled, etc etc etc.  These are related to a number of health issues.

My Mom is feeling a little better, but both Mom and Dad are tired out from the repeated trips to various places for tests.  They’re also trying to work out some financial issues, which is an added strain.

So that’s a praise and prayer – we certainly praise the Lord that things didn’t turn out a lot worse, but we continue to pray that the Lord would give patience, health and strength.  You’re welcome to join us in prayer, so you can see what God has planned with us.

Now, I’ve got to catch the bus ("ruta") to school!  I’ll continue these updates shortly….
