Prayers

I have a few prayer/kind thoughts/wishes requests...

My grandmother is entering the final stage of her life in hospice. Please keep her and my mother in your thoughts, and help the hospice staff control her pain.

Maddie, my dear friend Shannan's toddler, had problems with the tubes from her berlin artificial heart (she's been in an ICU on a transplant list for well over a year and the berlin heart is not intended to be used for this long) and suffered a massive stroke last night. This one affected the side of her brain that had not been affected by her previous strokes. She is intubated and on a ventilator. Please keep her, John, Shannan, and the twins in your thoughts and hearts as well.
