Another Prayer Request

Some of you already know about this, but I would like for you to be in prayer for my grandfather, W.B. He had surgery on Tuesday to fix blockage in his neck (he had sugery a month ago on the other side of his neck also) and while in surgery, he had a small stroke and a blood clot. At first we didn't think there had been any or much damage from the stroke, but the damage was actually pretty extensive. He is unable to talk, is unable to move the right side of his face, and the whole right side of his body is weak. I went to visit him today, and I really hope think that he is understanding things...he just has no way of communicating back. At one point, I asked him a question and he did say "Yeah." That was encouraging. He will stay in ICU tonight and then will probably go to a room tomorrow and stay there for at least a few days. Then he will go to a rehab place.

Please pray that when the swelling on his brain goes down that he will regain some or all of the things he has lost. I really hope this will happen.

This week has not been a good week to be related to me or Chris. :) Pray that things will return to normal for our family soon!

It does seem like often times when it rains it pours. I am sorry things have been so difficult for ya'll. But it is so true that when we're weak the Lord is strong. May you look back and see how He has sustained you during this time. Ya'll remain in my prayers.
