Prayer Requests

I'd really like to post some updates, but I only have a few minutes right now and I have a couple of prayer requests I'd like to present.

First, I'd like to ask prayer for my nephew. I won't mention his name here, but he tried to commit suicide last night. He is okay for now. It only just recently came to light that he has inherited his dad's bi-polar disorder. My nephew has just started experiencing 'rapid cycling' which is very dangerous. He has no insurance and desperately needs help. Please pray for him, and his mom and dad. They are very upset.

Second, I'd like to ask for prayer for my Eden. She does finally seem to be improving somewhat. The pediatric gastro has ordered some more tests: an x-ray and more blood work. Please pray for Eden, she doens't know about the blood work. She is horribly terrified of having her blood drawn and I know the x-ray will make her nervous as well. We'll take her in on Monday to have those done. We have decided to not tell her yet about the blood work, because she will spend the entire weekend obsessing about it and crying. Please pray for us, that our Lord would give us the right words and comfort for our baby girl.

Thank you so much.

Love you!!!

Beth,

My prayers are with you. I had no idea and I'm so sorry. I just talked to you today but didn't know. I hope he can get some help.

Love,
