With Heavy Hearts


There is sadness in my family. My son’s wife has been in the hospital for almost three months. Tests have revealed that her liver is diseased. No, she is not a heavy drinker. Most of us associate liver disease with alcohol, but alcohol is not always the cause. There are several others. Another lady we knew died from Cirrhosis of the liver. She had never been a drinker. In fact, she was an avid teetotaler!

At any rate, my daughter-in-law will be at a hospital in Pittsburgh on Monday morning to undergo a series of tests that will determine if she is a candidate for a transplant, and to make sure she is in good enough condition otherwise to withstand the surgery. If it is decided by the experts that she is a candidate, her name will be placed on a long waiting list.

We are a large family. Our hearts are heavy. We ask for your prayers for our loved one. Her name is Debbie.

Thank you!  God Bless!
