When Life Gives You Lemons....

Sometimes, life throws the unexpected our way. On Friday, I received a call that my sister, Kendra, had been admitted to the hospital with severe abdominal pain. So, I made some quick arrangements for the kids, got in my truck, and made the 3-hour drive from the west side of Michigan to the east side. I brought this sweet picture that my daughter drew with me, to brighter up the dingy hospital surroundings. I spent most of the weekend keeping Kendra and Dan company, helping out with dishes and laundry, beating Kendra in Rummy (:)), and trying to give my brother-in-law a little bit of a break. I even squeezed a few scrapbook pages into the mix. I am now home, but Kendra is still at the hospital. Please pray for her...the doctors will likely be deciding tomorrow whether to commence with surgery or not. Pray that the antibiotics will do their thing and eliminate the infection, and that surgery will not be a necessary step. Pray for the doctors' wisdom and discretion.

We love you, Aunt Kendra, and are praying that God will heal you fully and quickly.
