Counting and Recounting

Then we your people, the sheep of your pasture,
will praise you forever;
from generation to generation
we will recount your praise. Psalm 79:13

Our family praises God for the way He is showing 3 generations of us His sustaining presence and fighting for JOY for our family!

Over the last 6 weeks we know that many of you have been praying for my mom, Anne. We know that God has used your intercession to strengthen all 6 of us.

We have attended 4+ hours of Diabetic education with a nurse and a nutritionist. Our entire family has had major food changes and mom is exercising DAILY now. With the help of her primary care physician and medications - plus these radical life changes - we are seeing her blood sugar on a completely normal level now. She does have type 2 Diabetes and we will deal with this from now on.

A current prayer request is that her Medicare would approve the medicines that she needs to take daily. We are asking God to show His favor and continue to make her steps secure. On February 25 we will go back to her primary care physician and then make plans to reconnect with Dr. Killefer in the Spring to talk about shunt surgery again.

Thank you for all your prayers and encouragement during these learning and waiting days!
