Good News!!!  Randy was discharged today at 5.  He is home now resting peacefully.  Stomach is pretty sore but all in all he feels not too bad. Says you sure don't want to get stabbed in the stomach!!  It's amazing, every thing you do you use your abdominal muscles.  Driving home in the car was hell as every bump in the road caused pain. 


Randy didn't get much sleep in the hospital so he is very tired.  His roommate was quite chatty and left her TV on all night.  Back is sore from the awful hospital bed.  Now he can relax and rest up surrounded by his loving family doting on him. 


Our thoughts and prayers are with our nephew Owen, who is 16 months old, because he fell down yesterday and broke his right arm.  Poor little guy.  Hearing from his mom Kelly he handled it all like a trooper.  His cast is "Flaming" Red!!!




Dear Lord,
You know my friend/family member so much better than I do. You know his sickness and the burden he carries. You also know his heart. Lord, I ask you to be with my friend now as you work in his life.
Lord, let your will be done in my friend's life. If there is a sin that needs to be confessed and forgiven, please help him to see his need and confess.
Lord, I pray for my friend just as your Word tells me to pray, for healing. I believe you hear this earnest prayer from my heart and that it is powerful because of your promise. I have faith in you, Lord, to heal my friend, but I also trust in the plan you have for his life.
Lord, I don't always understand your ways. I don't know why my friend has to suffer, but I trust you. I ask that you look with mercy and grace toward my friend. Nourish his spirit and soul in this time of suffering and comfort him with your presence.
Let my friend know you are there with him through this difficulty. Give him strength. And may you, through this difficulty, be glorified in his life and also in mine.
Amen.
