I got a call from my
sister-in-law that my
brother, Charlie, is in the hospital.
On Monday he was not feeling well.
On Tuesday, he went to the ER.
On Wednesday they did a biopsy
on his lesions in his liver and
found a mass in his bladder.
They have transferred him to
another hospital in another
town. The same hospital
he was born in.
I am heading out to
Pennsylvania to be with him
and his family.
Please, please, please
pray for him.
He is the only sibling I have
ever had and he is an
important part of my life.
Even though we live half-way
across the country from
each other we are connected
by the heart.
I will be taking a blogging break
but I will post an update
when I have more news.
I know there is power in prayer
and I know that you are
good prayers-if you are
part of a church or group
prayer chain please add him
to the list...and pray for his
wife, too.

I am just so sorry to hear this news about your brother! I'm sure this is a scary time for you and your family. I know how it felt when my FIL battled the early stages of lung cancer and successfully beat it. But it was a very stressful time on everyone then. I wish your brother well and that doctors can successfully remove what is ailing him. I hope you and your family will get through this difficult time ok too.
Oh, Diana. I'm so sorry. It is so hard to see our loved ones affected by an illness. I will pray often that he gets to feeling better and that you and your whole family will be peaceful again..Take care, Judy
Of course we'll be praying for him, Diana. I'm printing out his picture and will put it on our refrigerator to remind us every time we pass. We'll pray for you so that you can stay well to help them out.
