Invitation to Pray

Late last evening Dave received a call from his Dad in which he found out that his Mom had been admitted to the hospital after having collapsed at home. It turns out that she suffered another stroke (her 2nd in the last couple years). Earlier last week she went in for an outpatient procedure to determine the root cause of all her digestive issues. Some of the preparation for this procedure required her to abstain from the blood thinning and pressure medication she is on...while I am not sure if this is the reason she suffered a stroke, I do know that she needs prayer right now...particularly for the physicians that are tending to her and the seeming balancing act they are undertaking in trying to diagnose one issue while managing another...prayer for Dave's Mom's ability to communicate as it remains impaired from her first stroke...for Dave's Dad in walking through this with her...and for Dave...while this is quite an exciting time for us in adoption, it is hard to see his parents go through this...to know how to support and care for them.
