Prayer Request

I hate to keep asking for prayers left and right.... but... one of the guys Chris works with is in need of some prayer...

Veverka (they go by their last names in the Navy) had a brain aneurysm the other night. He had just finished up playing in a command softball game... He is in ICU right now and I am waiting for a new update on his condition. Chris was not sure if he had had surgery or not... I know last night they were waiting for him to stabilize to go to Yale by Medivac... or whatever it is called... but from what I understand he is still in the local hospital. His wife is our command ombudsman... and they have a couple of children. I am sure they could all use a little bit of the power of prayer. Veverka was getting ready to go to Afghanistan for a tour he had volunteered for.

Also... my grandmother has now been diagnosed with C. Difficile. She caught this from a roomate she had in the rehab... (Grandma is now in rehab) and I guess grandma is very weak and not able to talk well or eat again... We are hoping that my mother and father do not catch this also... So.. she bounces back from MRSA (Which I think she might still have from what I understand) and breaking both of her arms and having a stroke and being on death's doorstep more than one foot in... and now this... This woman has WAY more than 9 lives! This is ALOT for a 91 year old body to tolerate.... My parents were getting ready to transport my grandmother back up to RI from Florida so that my grandmother could be where she wanted to be... and now this...

Thank you ALL in advance for your prayers.... The power of prayer is incredible...

Your poor grandmother!!! She cannot catch a break! We'll be praying for her and Chris' co-worker. Such a sad story.
