Oh, praying here.
Also would someone who is computer savvy post the undoer of knots novena as a sticky post. It seems there are several prayer requests here where this Novena seems most appropriate.

As of 12/20
My relative, T, is still in jail. He was arraigned on Tuesday and was charged with assault with a kitchen knife with intent to do bodily harm. The public defender had hoped to get him out on his own recongnizance because he is 79 yo and in poor health and has no prior record. However, bail was set at 30,000. Multiple family members have offered to bail him out, but we all know he's a flight risk. The terms of the bail are that he is to have no contact with his wife, M. We know he'll try to see her, at least to mend fences and there goes the bail.
My parents offered to take T to their home, 2 hours away so he won't jump bail, but he didn't want to go. We're pretty sure that he thought he'd be walking out of the jail on Tuesday, so he turned down my mom's offer. My mom did not get a chance to talk to him at all during the court procedures and they whisked him out of there and back to jail. He was transferred at 2 am the next day, I'm not sure where.
The public defender pleaded not guilty because she wants to get the full story of what happened to make this old man snap. They are asking for a psych evaluation.
His wife, M, is back at home and is willing to take him back, provided he does everything she wants him to, including counselling and medication, if necessary.
The son that had to beat up is dad to save his mom is really struggling. Really struggling. I hope that he doesn't go off the deep end, too.
The pre-trial date is January 4th and the trial starts the 17th or 18th. We are praying that he pleads out instead of this actually going to trial. It'll get very ugly and things will be said that can never be taken back. With a plea, hopefully things can heal and be reconciled. Frankly, T doesn't have many years left. His wife is worried that after all this he'll just stop taking his meds and let himself die. We have a trip planned in March to be out that way, in small part because T said he wanted to see my dd again...
If you could keep us on your prayer list, I'd great appreciate it. Specifically that T accepts my mom's offer of going home with her. It's the best place for him. That M continues to be forgiving. She can be very vindictive if she wants. Pray for the son, the daughter who was the primary witness and the other two daughters who are also torn up by this.

Sounds like safety and attention to T's mental health are a top priority. Praying that all involved can deal with this matter from a family-supportive manner and that T will be set up for success. Please take good care of yourself and your immediate family during this crisis, Lorri. These situations can drain and take an excessive toll on loved ones in your situation.
Love,
