Please pray

for Mary Clare today.

Update: she made it through the MRI just fine!
She is groggy but was able to tell me on the phone that
"it felt like I just blinked!" What a brave girl!
No initial report from the MRI, which is good news (nothing serious)
and we'll find out next week if they were able to locate any damage
that could be causing her to still have pain and limping after all these months.
Thanks so much for your prayers!

She's at the children's hospital with Steven
having the MRI for her knee injury
and has to have IV sedation.

She's very scared and I'm very sad
I can't be there. Baby is sick with
cough and double ear infections.

May it go smoothly and may we find
an easy answer to her knee problems.
May we have a healthy 2009!

If you can also offer a prayer for my cousin M
and her little girl K
who is recovering from surgery yesterday.
And for my other friend Danielle
whose baby was stillborn on this day last year.

Thanks for your prayers, friends!
