Update On Kathleen

Prayers For Kathleen

Please continue to pray for Kathleen that:
1. the new rods and screws fuse properly and quickly.
2. her bones increase in strength and density.
3. pain decreases (and leaves her body forever).
4. she has good health & no need for surgery from now on.

As many of you know, God graced Kathleen with the miracle of LIFE after

her body rejected post surgery blood transfusions, her lungs filled with fluid and she

experienced respiratory failure.

Thank you for your cries to heaven. God and God only is to be praised!!!!

After thirteen hours in the operating room to the recovery room to several days in intensive care on a respirator to an additional week in the hospital to home, but still enduring a great amount of pain, Kathleen's family requests quiet and rest for now.

Thank you again for your continued prayers. Kathleen displays every card and flower and cherishes every expression of your care, concern and love.
