Prayer Requests

My Mom starts radiation tomorrow. Please pray for her. She will be treated on her neck and jaw area, on one side of her face, which is the worst area to receive radiation because it hurts on the inside of your mouth as well. It may make her sick, and will make her tired as the treatments go on. She will receive radiation for 5 days a week for 5-6 weeks.

Christmas will be a bummer, but hopefully we are all able to enjoy celebrating Thanksgiving together.

Right now the main things she needs prayer for are for healing (of course), and that she can make it through the 20 minute treatments. She will have to wear a mask that is clamped down to the table she is laying on - which is very claustrophobic for her.

My sister also needs prayer. She is in the hospital again. Her anorexia is really bad right now. A few days ago she went into the ER and was given an IV. This weekend her arms swelled up really huge and she went back to the ER to discover she had a staph infection from the previous IVs. She had surgery on one arm and has a drain tube. The other arm isn't quite as bad. She will likely be in the hospital for another day or two.

I have lots of reasons to be stressed right now.
