Heart thread # 2 - 02-16-2009 - updated


I got this e-mail from my niece today:
Katie has been admitted to Clovis Community for preterm labor. Babies will be 24 weeks on Tuesday. Please pray for patience (as bed-rest is the most likely option), good medical management, and of course, a good outcome for Mom and babies. They should hear this morning about a possible transfer to Fresno Community for high-risk care.

Katie is my eldest grandnephew's wife - the couple whose wedding we attended last September. She is carrying twins. I ask your prayers for Katie, for dad Jeremy, for the babies, and the whole family. Thanks.

UPDATE:

News from Roseann (via Wounded Bird):
Dear Mimi,

It is hard enough to feel so poorly and not knowing why makes it just that much worse. Yet I woke up this morning feeling grace and peace. I sincerely do not think I could survive this trial without the prayers of my family and friends. I was feeling very whiney and abused and shook my fist at God asking what did I do to deserve this. A few hours later I started getting emails and messages from all over the world sending me healing, love and peace. Again I have to ask what did I do to deserve this. The good news for me is I don't get what I deserve. I always get mercy when I deserve judgement, hope when I deserve fear, love when I deserve indifference.

Please pass on the message for me that I am so grateful. I will have more tests done on Monday and then we play the waiting game a little longer to get a diagnosis. Whatever happens I will keep plugging away. Thank you and thank my OCICBW friends for the prayers and kind thoughts.

love, Roseann
