We covet your prayers

My grandma was admitted to the hospital 4 weeks ago for what we thought was the flu. Since then she has been through 3 surgeries in 3 weeks and on Friday it was decided that she cannot eat and that her options are either to stay in the hospital or go home. She was given only a few days to live. This was hard for her to hear, hard for all of us to hear. My grandma has been a part of my life, she has been a close friend and seriously someone I would call to hang out with on the weekends or when I had a chance.

My grandma has been a great example of someone who loves, someone who forgives, someone who serves and thinks of others before herself. She has been faithful to her husband, her family and her friends. She is beautiful inside and out.

It is hard to wait. It is hard to see her and think we have only days left with her.
She has battled cancer and cancer has won the battle of the physical life, but it has not won her joy, her drive to live, her spunk, her beauty, nor has it won her spiritual life. She will forever be worshipping with Jesus and that I am so thankful for.

If you desire to pray we would so much appreciate it. Please pray for her comfort. For no pain, for no fear for the unknown and for peace. And also for quality of days. She is glad to be going to home to look out the windows and see the cattle over the hill, the pond by her house and the mean jay birds fighting against her favorite cardinals. She is glad to be going home to be with family and the appreciate and enjoy the Lord's creation.

Please pray for my mom, my aunt and my grandpa who are going to be by her side 24-7 until the Lord takes her home. Please pray for their hearts to be comforted, for them to find the peace of the Lord and for them to have no fear as well.




FYI:For those of you do not know and read this, my grandma was diagnosed 2 years ago with end stage ovarian cancer. They did surgery on her and gave her only months to live. After some chemo, she fought the cancer and here she is two years later. There is a lot more that goes into that...but the point is she has outlasted way longer than they thought she was and the doctors have been amazed by her. She not only had quantity, but the 2 years have been quality. She was mobile and able to go places and enjoy life. My favorite part of it all is that she had a year with my baby. We spent lots of time with her and in fact when we go to visit her, he knows exactly who she is and he gets excited. We love grandma, forever.
