I've not posted about Bethanie's condition in a couple of days, but just got this update:

Dear Friends,

Thank you for continuing to uphold Bethanie in prayer. We are certainly very thankful that Beth is home, but, to be honest with you, these last few days have been challenging ones for her. She is extremely weak and has very little stamina. The nausea has improved to a point but is still a concern.

To give you a better understanding of exactly how Beth is doing so that you can more specifically pray for her, I share the following. I went in to talk to Beth tonight, and for the first 30 seconds or so she made eye contact with me. After that we talked about 3 more minutes, but she was too exhausted to look at me. Then, all of a sudden, she ran out of steam and needed to get some sleep. Even short times of conversation can be very exhausting. A bit later we were able to look at some cards she had just received, and this was encouraging to Beth.

In talking with Beth and her mom, we came up with these specific prayer requests. 1)Pray that her aches and pains decrease 2)Pray that the lab results will show encouraging results 3)Pray that the nausea will continue to subside and cease altogether. I would also ask that you pray for 4)Beth to sense the strength and grace of the Lord in a special and real way, that Scripture verses would uplift her and the Holy Spirit's comforting hand would impart encouragement and faith to her soul.



We just got the email a little bit ago, and I had not yet passed it on, but about 15 minustes ago we got a phone call that she was taken back to the hospital.  She is running a 101 fever and is in pain.  We really appreciate your remembering her.

Prayers continuing.  So sorry to hear that she's had a relapse.

Prayers and good vibes are still going up for Bethany and her family.

You only need ask and we will answer your call.  Beth and her family, and you, will be held up in prayer and will send lots of positive energy and healing vibes her way.

When someone has been that ill, it takes a very long time to recover from it.  This will be a long road for her to walk, but it sounds like she will be glad to take hold of the Lord's hand and let him carry her when she is too weak to walk on her own. 

May God grant her strength, and the powers of the universe hold her close and keep her strong while she continues forward in her fight for health and heartiness.

Please Lord God Almighty heal this little child of yours In Jesus Name.  Amen.

Always in my prayers over here.
