Please pray for my uncle. He let his diabetes go uncontrolled (denial, we believe). He is now in the hospital, dying. He is on massive doses of antibiotics. He is severely swollen from waist down. If he survives he will at least lose one leg. Please pray for his health but most especially for his soul. He turned away from God a long time ago and we are praying most especially for conversion, for him to be open to God's mercy and love.

Oh Janette, I'm so very sorry. Praying for your uncle's return to health, his conversion, and all the family who suffers alongside him.

Oh Janette, so sad to read this. I'll remember your uncle at Mass this morning, for spiritual and physical healing.

Janette,
I was so sad to read this yesterday. I'll pray for your uncle, especially during our Rosary when we ask Jesus to be merciful and lead all souls to heaven, especially those in most need of His mercy.

My uncle lives outside the US and getting updates has been difficult. It is still very sketchy, but it looks like he is doing a bit better so they are optimistic that he will live through this. Thank you all for your prayers and please continue!

Well, apparently the above update we received was more rosy than reality because my cousin didn't want to sound negative in front of my uncle.           They amputated my uncle's leg and both the amputation site and other leg are infected. So he's not really doing well. Thank you for your prayers!
