Macpherson Update

Hi again Prayer Warriors

Although, I was suppose to get out of the hospital this past week, they discovered that I had developed a new infection and so on Tues. night they took me off of the original antibiotic and started me on a new intervenes antibiotic called Vancomycin, which they believe will deal with the new bug. Since then, my incision has been looking better each day and I am finished the antibiotics on Mon.and if everything is still improving, I will be out for good. As it is now, I need to be in the hospital at 10am and 10pm each day to be hooked up to the antibiotics, so for the last three days they have been letting me out on day passes, so I can be home to help out with some of Grace's care as Judy, Becky and Matt have been taking turns looking after her and they and they are all getting pretty weary. It has been great to be home, please pray that everything will go right and I will be out on Mon.

Judy

As well as looking after Grace, all of my other responsibilities have fallen on her shoulders as well and she is feeling a little bit overwhelmed and could really use your prayers for strength and His peace.

Becky

Had to postponed her Australia plans because of my hospital stay, but has now revamped them and Lord willing will be leaving her present job and moving to Australia in the middle of Oct. for 4 months, to work and travel. She asks for prayer for wisdom in this transition and to be able to find a good place to stay and a great job while down there.

Matt, Evie, Bella and Adeleh

Just found out that Matt's work visa for the States may take a fair bit longer than they were originally told. There is still a possibility of it happening soon, if they are accepted in the "financial hardship" category, which means that they will expedite the application and they might still be able to get down there within a good time period. So please pray that when they apply the will be received.

Jesse and Kristi

Are both finishing their masters degrees in Feb. and then will be moving home for quite a long time. They have really enjoyed their years of travel, but are now really looking forward to settling down. Please pray for God's blessing in both of their lives.

Grace

Had a wonderful time this summer with her summer intervener, Laura. They went on numerous field trips on the Handy Dart, during their 5 hours each day. It was also a real blessing because when I ended up in the hospital, Becky was able to change Laura's time schedule around and she did a number of 10 hour days, during the time while Matt was working and then he took over when he got home. Please pray for Grace's on going health.

In His Saving Grip
