A little prayer covering would be appropriate, I think.

Things are getting out of hand down here. We're getting a lot of challenges, particularly Sue is.

* I've been sick: was yesterday particularly.
* TJ is seriously sick. Flu-ish stuff. She's been throwing up a whole lot.
* Our dog (well, in all honesty, Sue's dog) died this week. Actually, she had him put down: he was so old and weak he couldn't feed himself, and had a bunch of other problems. That hurt her tremendously.
* Her oldest brother (Dayton) is suffering from dementia and is pretty incapacitated. He's 21 years older than Sue.
* Her mom (Janet) went into the hospital on Monday. She should have been out in a couple of days (bladder infection), but she's still there. And she's stunningly weak.
* We got a call this evening that Sue's other brother, Charlie, brother had a stroke on Tuesday, I think it was. He was taken to the hospital, but he wasn't even identified until Thursday or Friday when his friends were looking for him. It's very serious: he's completely non-responsive, though they've taken him out of ICU. Charlie is the brother that has been closest to Sue. He's 19 years older than Sue.
* Sue's trying to figure out how to tell her mom about it. From my perspective, it looks like this brother (Charlie) has been Janet's favorite; we're not sure how she'll take it, particularly considering her weakness already.

So we're feeling the heat. It's being a good opportunity for us (especially Sue & TJ) to go after stuff in prayer; we like that. But she's running on empty in two or three departments.

Thanks for praying!
