I got some bad news last night – remember when I blogged
about going to my cousin’s wedding on Long Island? Her husband of not even two
years had a very bad stroke yesterday. I do not know a lot of details, but it
sounds pretty grim. If you want to pray for him, his name is David. He is only
51, and he seemed pretty fit from what I remember. (I’ve only met him the one
time.) My poor cousin has had a tough time, being a single mother with an
autistic child, and I was so happy for her that things finally seemed to be
going right… but now they are going so badly. She may need our prayers as much
as he does! I sure couldn’t stand it if Travalon were the one in a hospital
bed, hooked up to a bunch of machines, and not knowing if he were going to
survive, so I can only imagine what she is going through. Let’s all take this
opportunity to be thankful for the special people in our lives, because we
never know what tomorrow might bring.

This is terrible news. Indeed let us pray for them, and be reminded not to complain about the imperfections in our own circumstances.
My cousin appreciates everyone's prayers. She says her husband is "responsive," but it doesn't sound like he is conscious, or more to the point they have him so heavily sedated that he isn't aware of his surroundings other than responding to pokes. Hopefully he doesn't sustain so much brain damage from this that he is a totally different person!
