Over the past few months, we have had some hard moments but I think this past Tuesday was the hardest day we have had yet. My dad was congested all day, requiring constant usage of various medical equipment to help him. We also needed to lift him several times to help him breath better. For a good portion of the day and even part of the night we needed 2-3 caregivers present to help with various tasks. It was tiring, and hard to see my dad like that.
Praise the Lord, though, for a variety of things. That several caregivers were available to help that day, that his congestion cleared up by the late evening and he slept well, that he woke up with no congestion, and that we know that no matter what comes our way the Lord will help us through it!
Today is proving to be another really rough day for my dad (which then means a rough day for all of us). He is very congested, and needing constant help. We are happy to help, but it gets overwhelming after awhile. We would greatly appreciate your prayers.
Thank you all! We are so blessed to have your prayers and support though this difficult time!

Dear ones with Mark at this priceless time... I only wish this cyber-space could convey the tears and heaving of my chest as I read this. A year ago right now, my husband and I were down in San Diego with his folks as Dad's road to Glory was upon him.. (4.5 months from the onset of his physical demise to when he met our LORD face to face!) He passed from our presence 8 days before their 72nd anniversary..! We recall the days of 2 caregivers needed for him.. (congestive heart failure, so no suction machines or the like) AT ANY RATE,- Just KNOW you are definitely being prayed for OFTEN and our hearts yearn to help in all ways possible.. IN JESUS, Sheila Dean (CMC has my contact info if you need it today or tomorrow..)
Hi Michelle,
SO proud of you guys! Love you and your family!! Continued prayers your way!!
