Afternoon - May 5, 2010

Lou's struggle is about to end. His body continues to decline and shut down - he's on oxygen, pupils are fixed and dilated, his breathing is labored, he's no longer responsive, and basically in a coma type state. We continue to talk to him and tell him how much we love him while encouraging him to move on to his new home in heaven. We don't want him to suffer or have any more pain. We have had beautiful prayers throughout the day and had a particularly poignant laying on of hands with him today with his brother Ron, wife Jane, nephew Ron, the prayer leader Brenda, Gabrielle, Christopher, and me. Lou has so enjoyed and been appreciative of the prayer meetings we've had every Saturday with the Healing Hands group from our church for the last 16 months and he also has really enjoyed the Christian Reiki and Reflexology times with Brenda. Both have brought him so much peace and today's session also brought him peace!

The outpouring of notes, phone calls, and prayers is humbling! Thank all of you for caring and for the thousands of prayers sent out to Lou and to me! The Lord is good and faithful and He will be calling Lou home very soon!

Love,
Deb
