Humbled by This Prayer from Kary

I have a friend, named Kary, who sent this earnest prayer of healing, on Irene’s behalf, to us via email today.  The amazing fact is that Irene and Kary do not even know each other…the prayer is simply stunning…and we’re grateful for Kary’s intercessory prayer and for so many others who do daily battle on Irene’s behalf…

I lift up Irene to You in the precious, precious name of Jesus Christ Our King, Our Lord and Our Savior. Lord, You are the maker of all things, and You are Jehovah-Raffa, the Lord Our Healer.  You love Irene so much, so very much, so much more than we could ever imagine now will even fully know in Heaven.

2 New Dialysis Sticks

2 NEW dialysis sticks ….

The two original “button holes” used for dialysis needles are no longer functioning properly so today the medical staff created 2 NEW buttonhole locations in close proximity to the originals.  I took the photograph this evening as Irene tries to find a comfortable position on the couch, icing the tender new wounds.  She’s exhausted and looking forward to the start of a new tomorrow ….

Thanks for caring,
