UPDATE on Benji and Sarah

Benny has taken Benji back to Cleveland this morning. They fear his abscess is returning, which would not be a good thing at all. They just removed one. Benji is having a very hard time with his appetite and getting the nutrition he needs. He has absolutely no appetite at all, and can only force himself to eat a small amount without becoming sick.

Lowella and Sarah had to stay home this time, as Sarah has been ill and vomiting some. Of course, in an emergency, Lowella will do what is necessary, but for now home is where she is, with their sick little girl while Benny is with their sick big boy. It is traumatic on them all. Please keep these sweet children and their parents in your prayers. Separation at this time is very difficult for a mother and a father from their children.

I had planned to stay a night with Lowella and Sarah if in fact Benny & Benji had to go to Cleveland, but we are expecting some major bad weather in our area tonight and tomorrow and now I am not going to be able to do that in part due to the weather. With a heavy, wet snow coming in, gas and electric could go off, etc, and Lowella will have her uncles to help them at her grandmothers house, but they do not need an extra person in the way. Please pray the weather will be as light as possible because no electricity, etc, just makes everything worse.

Lowella had the night shift last night, and has been trying to rest some today, when I spoke with her briefly, but had not been able to sleep. Please pray that God will grant her the peace she needs to at least rest her body to keep herself as strong as possible, and for Sarah's recovery of this virus and a healing prevention from Chron's as well.
