Prayer Request

No pics today, just a prayer request. We just found out my Sister-in-Law Bonnie (my Brother Phil's wife) is very ill. She has leukemia and pneumonia and will be hospitalized for atleast 4-6 wks. She's at University hospital in Chicago and will start chemotherapy on Sunday. She can't have any visitors except for my brother because her immune system is non-existent at the moment. We just had our family Christmas at their home this past December. She wasn't feeling super great at that time, but flu season was here and I'm sure she thought it would get better in time. Phil and Bonnie have been married for 42yrs and are so dedicated to each other. Phil is staying at the hospital night and day and he needs prayers too. So if you can, please include them in your thoughts and hopefully there will be a miracle recovery and they can both be home sooner than expected. So here's a shout out to Bonnie: "We're thinking of you and Phil right now and hope you feel better soon and are able to get back to your little garden of eden in Morris soon! Love ya!"

I'll be sure to keep them in my prayers. It's so hard to be far away and for her family not to be able to see her at the hospital. We are so fortunate to know of Heavenly Father's love and ability to heal and comfort. Keep smiling! Love ya! Beth

Certainly sending up prayers and will sign them up on our church prayer roll! Hard for you to be away from the family at this time too I'm sure so am sending hugs to you as well. I feel close to your family through all the many stories I've heard and few times I've seen them at your house throughout the years. Sometimes cards help because they know so many care and are praying for them...would you want to share address and what hospital she is in?
P.S. Your new "Pines Pic" is beautiful!! Love it!!
