September 5, 2009

Gene has had a difficult day today, and he has fever tonight. He has been largely unresponsive to Emily and other visitors.

Emily is planning to go to church tomorrow, and has said that she feels very conflicted about not staying with him tonight even though she knows the staff that are on duty tonight and thinks they are all competent and attentive. She plans to get up early and go spend some time with him before she goes. She needs the support of family and friends to know that her efforts to provide for Gene's needs through her visits, her attention, and her advocacy are of the highest level one could imagine. She also needs continued encouragement to take care of her own needs, such as attending church and participating in other activities which bring her strength.

Prayer Requests
Please pray for Gene to have an easy night and day on Sunday. Pray for his respiration to grow stronger, for his body to heal, and for him to have peace. Pray for Emily to be at peace.
