I will definitely pray for your sister and her son. What a trial for them, and for your whole family!

Jen, praying with you and sharing your sadness.

Through the intercession of St. Frances, praying for your sister, her medical care and discernment regarding it. Through the intercession of St. Monica, praying for Frances' return to the Catholic Church.

May St. Joseph be with Joshua.

May Our Lady place her mantle around you all.

UPDATE: My sister went on her Christian cruise and it was a real blessing. Now she has returned and is having the tests in preparation for her scheduled March 20th brain surgery. Today she has another MRI. We would love nothing more for than for there to be nothing special to see on the MRI. What a great miracle for NIH to see (not to mention a great miracle for my family to experience :-) ). Anyway, please pray especially for her this morning and this week.

THANK YOU!

Jen

Well, this is not the update that I wanted to post, but here goes:
My sister Frances' tumor is continuing its regrowth. It is larger than in January (not really a surprise except for those of us who keep expecting it to be gone). She is taking an experimental drug and scheduled for surgery on Monday the March 20th. She has an MRI on Friday and then again on Monday. As you can imagine, her spirits are not the greatest. In addition to this stress, she is also having problems getting hours this week at work (psych nurse). She doesn't know what is going on there, but she has never had trouble before. Besides needing the money, she is also trying to keep her benefits active.

All this to say: Please continue to pray.

Thanks again, from the bottom of my heart,
Jen
