WeCould Use A Prayer Right Now....

It's been a sad, surreal 48 hours for my little family. I'm 1800 miles away from McComb, Mississippi but tonight, my brother and sister and dad and sister-in-law are all keeping vigil for my frail little mother who was taken to the hospital just night before last. The problem is confounding the medical staff but with this message, I'm soliciting as many prayers and good thoughts from as many folks as I can get.

What we thought was some pancreal issue is still undetermined. Several hours ago, my mother's blood pressure plummeted and things began to shut-down. As I type, she's in emergency surgery and while they're not sure what they're looking for at this point, everyone's hoping for a stop-gap. The doc's have called all family to the hospital......this, happening to a woman who has shown no signs of life threatening illness, ever. So you can understand while we're all in shock tonight. I'm far away and hope to be there soon. I also hope to be able to show mom this post so she'll see what a good boy I've been and make me a buttermilk pie before I fly home to Boston. But either way, please keep her, Annette, in your thoughts and prayers; and even my sister RJ and brother DE and my dad. Right now, out little family is falling apart and the very seam which binds us, hoping God will see fit to patch us up, make us better and bring my mom home where she belongs.
