This was Marge on Seren's birthday last JulyShe is 89 years old and has an enlarged heart, which they can't really treat, but since Christmas, she has been going quickly downhill and has started sleeping almost all day, and just sitting up in bed gives her breathing problems. She has also started bleeding. Today the GP got the results of her blood test. She is very low on platelets, which needs to be 'rectified' in his words, so Marge was admitted to hospital this evening.
Things are not looking good for her at the moment, she seems to be getting more and more unwell very quickly, and so I am requesting that you ask God to keep her close, to 'carry her', as the Footprints poem says.
Marge is a devout Christian and is pretty ready to go to Jesus, and to be reunited with her dear husband and much-loved family members who are waiting for her, but whether He calls her to be with Him in the near future, or some time from now, Marge's family (particularly Adrian's mother, Adrian himself, and Seren) are going to struggle with having to say goodbye, and so I'm also asking you to pray that God will give strength and peace to Adrian's mother, Adrian and Seren.
I am also praying that I will be able to do my bit to support everyone through this time.
My Dad is also really struggling with his Ankylosing Spondylitis at the moment, and is in serious amounts of pain all the time. I was hoping that he would be well enough to join us here in Suffolk for my birthday, but unfortunately he won't be. Please could you pray that his doctors will be able to get moving with the next step in his treatment, so that the chemo will knock out his AS for a while, or, if he does have a long wait for treatment ahead of him, that the doctors can find a better way than the current morphine to ease his pain.
Thank you xx
