Sign me up for some prayer.

I have a couple of request that I would like to make of you, my faithful blog followers.

First of all, this is a picture of my Papal.  He will be 86 on Thursday.  He is, by far, one of the greatest men alive.  His wife, my grandmother, passed away twelve years ago from cancer.  He was by her side every step of the way, caring for her, cooking, learning to do laundry, and so many other things.  His heart was broken when she went to be with Jesus.  The things that keep him going are living close to family, being able to drive and do things for himself, as well as the fact that he still works five and a half days a week.  Pretty amazing man, huh.

On Sunday evening he had a stroke.  It doesn't appear to be a severe one.  However, his vision is double, and his left side is week.  He is in the hospital still, and will be on his birthday.  I know that he is looking forward to the day that he gets to be reunited with his wife.  I also know, that people don't live forever.  However, it will be devastating to him to not be able to drive, work, and live independently while he is still hanging out here on Earth.  So would you pray that his vision would be restored quickly, as well as the complete use of his left side!

And secondly, I have a sick little girl.  Again.  I am trying not to be crazy Momma, but my head seems to be moving to those scary places.  So here's the run down.  Two weeks ago yesterday, Abigail woke up with a stomach virus.  She was vomiting all day, and had a low grade fever.  The next day, no vomiting or fever, but she was tired (pretty normal stomach bug progression).  The third and fourth day she was back to eating and acting normal, with some weird intermittent vomiting.  Went to the doctor.  Said likely flared up either GERD or Masto stuff wait it out.  She had no more vomiting, but some *other* tummy troubles from Thursday until Tuesday of last week.  We have been a week of normal.  This morning we woke up to vomiting and low grade fever again.  Perhaps she caught the stomach virus a second time.  I'm trying to live there.  But when your kid's body is programmed to grow tumors, weird symptoms take your head to scary places.  So would you pray that if something more is going on it would be obvious.  And if not, that she would kick this thing once and for all so we can get back to normal here.  

Thanks all.  I'll try to update you on both things in the next few days!!!
