Prayer Requests & Joey Updates

First, Prayer Requests: 

My Mom's cousins wife, Stacey Stanton, is having surgery tomorrow.  She was having stomach problems for about a month, went to the Dr. for some scans and tests and it turns out she has cancer. There is a large grapefruit sized tumor in her uterus and a small tumor in her colon. They are giving her a complete hysterectomy along with removing a portion of her colon. The surgery should last a few hours tomorrow starting around 3 pm.  Thanks for any prayers that may be offered.  I know that prayer works.  

So, on to prayer updates for Joey. He is home now and on meds for a bladder infection. I suppose that's the good news. Other than that he doesn't have Cancer or Leukemia.  But his diagnosis is kidney disease and arthritis.  There are no meds that he can take due to his kidney failure. They have given him anywhere from 2-6 or so months.  

It's a hard thing to think about or act on. I don't feel that it's TIME, but will be watching closely for the signs. I love him and don't want him to suffer. So, we'll make the most of these next few months and cherish the last 17 years.
