Prayer Request

My sweet sister Margie recently gave birth to her third child Ethan 3 weeks ago. He is beautiful and healthy. Sisters Madison and Makayla are so proud of him. Unfortunately Margie developed mastitis. On top of receiving the wrong antibiotic for treatment, she ended up requiring extensive surgery last night to treat the infection. She is in the hospital to monitor the infection and receive antibiotics to hopefully get rid of the infection. When she is released from the hospital, she will be on bed rest for many weeks in order for her body to heal. She was told by the surgeon that this was the worse case of mastitis he had ever seen. Please pray for her to heal quickly. We are so thankful for the family members who live near her who are willing to care for Ethan as well as the girls. (She lives over 8 hours away) I want so badly to be there for her. I do have peace knowing that while I am unable to help her, God is always there. He is the great physician!!



Also, please go here to view a video from Profoundly Seth. Pray for this family as they are trying to raise money so that Seth, their youngest child, can receive cochlear implants.
