Sad week

It has been a rather sad week for me. First it was regards to my GM's mother who was recently diagnosed with cancer and had a hysterectomy. We visited her mom early last week and were very surprised that she recovered so quickly for a person of her age. She was extremely chatty and happy to see us when we where there. But lately, my GM shared with me that her mom over the weekend did sillythings like taking all her sleeping pills, drinking clorox and refusing to talk and eat. I visited her with a friend to pray for the mom and unfortunately it was so obvious that the lady I saw a week earlier was no longer the same. All she wanted to do was sleep and ignore us. I called my doctor friend and was adviced to get her to see the psychiatrist immediate. My GM immediately took her in the afternoon and the doctor prescribed some anti depressents and did a brain scan. The results came out and confirmed that her brain has shrunk. How is this possible? How can a perfectly sane
lady become senile just over one month? Apparently nothing much can be done except to hold the old lady and her family in our prayers as they face this new challenge in life.

The other sad news is about my friend Noe. She has just completed her 2nd round of chemo and apparently her latest scan doesn't look very promising. The doctors are now trying to figure out the next course of action. If you are reading this, even if you don't know her please please pray for God's healing to be upon her. Everytime I think of her I can't seem to control my tears but she with God's grace is so strong and cheeful. Please God, please heal her.

The latest crap/sad new I had to deal with this week was with regards to one of my manager's baby. The poor baby who is only 4 months old has been sick over a month and after being transferred from one hospital to another and after having been poke probed and puctured, the doctors can't seem to figure what is wrong with him. First it was suspected leukemia and then all the many test came out inconclusive. Today after being passed on the phone from one nurse to another in SJMC and all sounding rather reluctant to accept the child,they finally agreed to admit the baby once beds are available. Please pray that God will send capable doctors to help to help give this baby a fighting chance at life.

My prayer for this week is that God's peace and grace will be upon all those afflicted and that God will show me how I can help them and not feel so useless.
