Continued Prayer

I (Lisa) visited my Dad yesterday in the hospital. Due to his anemia he is prone to infections easier then you or I. He was admitted last week to one of the many hospitals in the Boston area for a serious eye infection. He has been on IV's, had numerous tests, cat scans, transfusions and antibiotics to stabilize his condition.

There were doctors in and out his room the five hours I visited. Doctors hope in the next few days my dad should be able to go home. With assistance from my mom he will be receiving IV medication and rest at home for the next few weeks.

The condition my dad is battling is not curable. The only medical cure would be a bone marrow transplant from a donor yet to be found and determined. My two brothers and I will be getting tested to see if we would be a good match.

It has been hard processing the possibilities of outcomes, crunching the odds of success and reality, facing the reality of mortality. I have felt deep sadness as I have processed my dad's failing health. I am not questioning, "Where is God in all of this"? Instead I have felt His whisper of comfort, His peace in the silence, His courage to trust Him.

We would ask for your continued prayer for my dad and my family in this difficult time. Thanks.
