I'm praying for everyone's requests and wanted to update you on Tim's father William.
His condition is such that he is getting worse and isn't expected to live much longer. Tim is doing an amazing job of handling things but he is under a lot of stress as he visits his dad daily and helps to take care of him, deals with all the financial and legal aspects of things (closing up his dad's apt. selling his car, changing his address, dealing with his mail etc.) and siblings and extended family who just don't seem to understand that if they don't come and see Dad now they will not get to see him at all before he is gone. Right now his father is in a nursing home and hospice is coming in regularly. When things get worse he will go to hospice until the end. It could be a month, it could be a few weeks, we just don't know but he does seem to be getting worse everyday. You can imagine things are a bit crazy here. We are all soaking in the wonderfulness of our little Maria and yet trying to handle these things as well. Christmas is fast approaching and we don't even have presents or a tree yet. I am feeling very well though so I plan to go shopping next week and take a few big kid helpers with me.
Your continued prayers are much appreciated.

So sorry to hear this. Really hard to have this sorrow in the midst of your joy with Maria. I'll be praying.

Michele, your family has our prayers, especially your father-in-law. What a difficult thing for you all to endure at this time.

I'm sorry Michele. I do understand - my FIL passed away 5 days after my 3rd dd was born and things were crazy, for lack of a better word.
I'm offering up my migraine right now for all the intentions of your family, as well as praying!

Michele -
This is so hard on you all. Praying for everyone, especially for your husband and for his siblings, that they *get it* so that they come now and don't have regrets later. Please, please, take care of yourself --I'm glad you're feeling well, but please don't push yourself, so that you can keep on feeling well. (Boy, do I sound like someone's mother, or what? 
Peace,
Nancy

I've been thinking about and praying for Tim's dad. I'm glad for an update on him. I am continuing to pray for William and for all of you. What a mix of emotions you all are experiencing. May God bless you all.

Dear Michele,
I'm so sorry. I will pray for you all. We went through the loss of Joe's dad a little over a month after the birth of our newest addition. It was (and continues to be) really hard on Joe. I'll pray especially for Tim.
