March 24th PM

Here are a few updates we have for prayer requests:

My dad will be having a Cat Scan and EEG this afternoon. We will have results later tonight or early tomorrow morning. Time feels incredibly slow for us right now as we are so anxious for these results.

My dad has contracted pneumonia but this was expected and is being treated with antibiotic. Please pray for this healing.

The doctors may be waking him up from his sedation again this afternoon and this is hopeful to us as family. Hoping to see his eyes and have him hear our words of support and love.

We are exhausted and are leaning on each of you and your prayers to carry us through this. Thank you again for your faithfulness and hope, your generosity and kindness.

Below is a Hebrew prayer of healing sent to us by our dear friends, Hal and Corki. May this be a universal prayer for my dad today.

Mi Sheberak: May the one who is Blessed


May the one who blessed our ancestors-
Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel and Leah,
Abraham,Isaac, and Jacob,
bless and heal, Dwight, the one who is ill.

May the holy one, the fount of blessings,
show abundant mercies upon him,
fulfilling his dreams of healing,
strengthening his with the power of life.

Merciful One:
restore him,
heal him,
strengthen him,
enliven him.

Send him a complete healing from the heavenly realms,
a healing of body and soul,
together with all who are ill,
soon, speedily,without delay;
and let us say:
Amen

-Barbara

  2. Our first biggest prayer is for Dwight's healing. Even if it happens in baby steps, just remember "slow but steady wins the race!" Next we pray for strength for all of you. You are constantly in our prayers and thoughts. As one can see from this blog, all of you are certainly loved a lot by so many people!!! Davida & Joe

  3. Dear Susan and family,
    We are so concerned since we heard about what has happened to Dwight and are praying persistently every day for his recovery. And Susan, you and Barbara, Christine and their spouses are in our prayers as well. God is with you through all this. We can only imagine how this feels. Please know that we love and care about you and are here for you.
    Maria and Dave Moreno
