Could y'all wonderful folks please add my 14-yo niece Helen to your prayer list? She has a curvature of the back -- not scoliosis (side-to-side) but back to front (like a hump). They are operating on Ascension Thursday to keep the back from curving more (and POSSIBLY reduce the curvature already). Please pray the surgeon does a fantastic job and that Helen's upper back stops curving and hopefully actually straightens a bit.
This is my brother and SIL with 10 kids (18-4) and this is really a hard event amidst graduations, summer jobs, homeschooling conferences, trips to the Y, etc.
THANKS for the prayers!

Praying for Helen. I had my spine fused at 16 in late July. And even though summer vacations and stuff might make it more difficult, I think it's better now than going into a new school year. I remember having to find places to lay down during the school day because my spine couldn't take the stress of being upright for a full 8 hours.
Praying that all goes smoothly and that the doctors can correct the curve!

Mary, I'll be praying for Helen throughout the day tomorrow. I'll ask my mother to intercede for her, since she would be celebrating her 60th birthday if she were still here, and her name was Elaine, a derivative of Helen.
