This just in from Jim's West Point classmate who requested our spiritual support on behalf of his son, Douglas, who has been living with kidney disease for 20+ years. Proof that our prayers are carrying others through tough times:
Now please pass this good news onto your Dear Hearts: Their prayers were answered! We just found out that Douglas is scheduled to get a new kidney on January 12th; you can bet that we are gonna have a blow out Christmas celebration. It is going to be a complicated chain of exchanges: eight people, eight surgeries, and four exchanges of kidneys. So the transplant team says to understand that there are a lot of moving parts, and lots of things can get it the way. If one person comes down with even an ear infection, or chickens out at the last minute, or (worse) tests positive for Covid, then everything stops and they regroup. But the process is firmly in place, and unless something goes wrong, then Douglas will have a new kidney in a few weeks. God is so good, and we are so grateful. Thanks, Sully, for your prayers and support, and thank those Dear Hearts for us.Merry Christmas!Skip
Skip also requests that we continue to pray for a successful outcome.
Never doubt the power of prayer and how we can carry others when they are too weak, afraid, overwhelmed or sick to carry themselves. I am proud to be part of this Dear Hearts gang.
Much Love, Patty
