I would deeply appreciate prayer for my family once again (they are all believers). My dad (Hank) had congestive heart failure again (I think this was the third time) and also took a really bad fall. My stepmom (Betty) said there was blood all over the floor, and his arms were ripped up in the fall. He is also having kidney problems (apparently, the meds for the heart failure cause kidney issues). He's home now but I am starting to think he may need in-home health care. Shannon (the granddaughter they adopted) had an asthma attack right before Christmas, and Betty’s adult grandson (who also lives with them) had knee-replacement surgery and is recovering in a nursing home. On top of all this, Betty’s son Jack had two strokes recently and was in the hospital. Amazingly, Hank and Betty were in good spirits when they told me all of this! Needless to say, they would appreciate all the prayer they can get.
Also, my mother-in-law (Charlotte) had to go to urgent care on Christmas Eve. Her lungs were inflamed because her emphysema has reached a critical stage, and her blood pressure was really high. She was put on steroids and an inhaler, and her condition has stabilized. But she’s deteriorated drastically since we saw her in November. She often forgets to use her oxygen, which may have led to her lungs becoming inflamed and also causes her to have poor judgment (for instance, she sometimes refuses to take some of her meds, including her blood pressure medication).
Please join me in declaring health and healing over my family and rebuking any spirit of infirmity that may have been assigned against them. I am standing on Isaiah 53: "By His stripes they are healed!" Thanks so much for praying!
