Calling All Prayer Warriors!!

Hi all, Mary's favorite daughter-in-law again and her favorite sister-in-law (Patti). :)

We need all prayers on platelets this morning. Mary's platelets are extremely low and the transfusions are not working. Also, the side affects to the transfusions are unpleasant. Please pray that the blood work to find out what the issue is comes back quickly and that until then, Mary's body starts to accept the platelets they are trying to give her. With all of the blood draws that they are doing, it is important that her blood be able to clot and without the platelets it does not.

Thank you all... keep you posted.

Just want to let you know that we are thinking and praying for you daily. My Mom is keeping me updated on your condition as well. I am so glad that you have such loving family and friends. I know that must help tremedously. Your faith is so strong so I know that your prayers will be answered. You must believe and we all do too. Stay strong and you WILL be walking out of there before you know it!!! Take care and we will keep the prayers coming your way!!!! Shannon May & Family

  8. Wonderful news about the platelets!!

    Mary, I came across this today and thought I would share it with you. It's from Safe in the Shepherd's Arms, by Max Lucado:

    "You don't need to carry the burden of a lesser god . . . a god on a shelf, a god in a box, or a god in a bottle. No, you need a God who can place 11 billion stars in our galaxy and 100 billion galaxies in the universe. You need a God who can shape two fists of flesh into 75 to 100 billion nerve cells, each with as many as 10,000 connections to other nerve cells, place it in a skull, and call it a brain. And you need a God who, while so mindnumbingly mighty, can come in the soft of night and touch you with the tenderness of an April snow."

    Mary, "that" God is taking care of you right now. Love you.
