Nana, not feeling well:(

Not sure who reads my blog, but anyone who logs in, would you mind offering up a prayer for my mom? She is a COPD (chronic lung problems) patient and right now is fighting the same cough, cold and junk that everyone else has had.
I took her today to her doctor and they did a chest X-Ray and confirmed what we thought.
Her breathing is ok when she is at rest but very labored when she is walking. I made her, much to her dismay, ride in her transport wheelchair to conserve energy. She is truly a fighter.
She was worried that she might have to go to the hospital. To be honest, I thought the same thing. She said she was nervous and didn't want to go. While we waited in the examining room I tried to distract her by showing her pix of the grandkids.....that worked!!! She smiled, talked and talked about each one of them.
Dr. Morrison gave her another antibiotic and prednisone for her breathing and said we should see improvement by Thursday. Sure hope so, it does have her down some.
When we pulled up to Westminster there were her friends waiting for her. They were thrilled to see her come back. Before she left she said she asked Lillian to say a prayer for her and of course she said she would hang up and do it right away....a Memorare.
Thank you Jesus and Blessed Mother for hearing our prayers.
Hope the rest of the week is better.

The Loss of a dear friend.

On July 3 a dear, dear friend of ours, Chips Cronen returned to Heaven. He will be missed. We pray and ask for prayers for his wife Barbra and sons.
I came across this scripture that seems to be appropriate for Chips, it reads from Ephesians 6: 16-18
"At all times carry faith as a shield; for with it you will be able to put out all the burning arrows shot by the evil one. And accepting salvation as a helmet, and the word of God as the sword which the Spirit gives you. Do all this in prayer, asking for God's help. Pray on every occassion, as the Spirit leads. For this reason keep alert and never give up; pray always for God's people."

This is just one thought that gives "light" to the life of Chips Cronen. He was truly a prayer warrior. I've counted on his prayers many times and will continue to do so..
