I’ve recieved some positive news about my mom, and some bad news about my dad.

My brother was able to tell me that the doctors seemed to be pleased with her current progress with the ongoing blood transfusions. It’s unclear how much longer this will take – but this is the riskiest stage of the process.

They were able to wake her up long enough to talk to my sister. She was able to calm my mom down and explain why she was in the hospital, etc. She was also able to talk to her about me. She asked my mom how she felt about me being in Jordan, and my mom told her, “Tell Esther to stay and finish her time there – I know that is where she is supposed to be.”

So that is my current decision. I’m really trying to believe in faith that my mom will be healed.

The story of the woman with an issue of blood came to my mind last night in prayer at a friend’s house - and my faith has really been growing that she will fully recover.

Unfortunately on my dad’s front – yesterday they found out that his swallowing complications are a result of a cancerous throat tumor – making this the 6th type of cancer in his body. His doctor advised him to return to the hospital, but he has opted not to go. He said, “I want to go out in the prime of my sanity.”

*SIGH* … So that is the current update.

Thank you for your continued prayers. Knowing people around the world are praying for them, my family and myself is what has kept me sane in the last 36hrs.

    eaglewind: One of the toughest things I know is to have loved ones hurting and not be able to be by their side. I guess the description would be a feeling of “helpless!” We too are praying!5 years ago
