Our son is still in the hospital. 3 CT scans, and the last showed the bleed as "stable."
I, however, am nowhere near "stable."
Keep the prayers coming, please.
Kathi,
I've been "storming" heaven for your son. Call me next week sometime when you're able.
May the Blessed Virgin Mary intercede with her motherly love and care for you.
I will add some prayers as well.
UPDATE: Francisco passed into eternity last night. He was graced to live 91 years. His funeral will be next Wednesday.
Ahh my dear friend, you have had a sad week indeed. The baby must have been especially hard.
KMS, I'll pray for your son too.

The neurosurgeon said he can come home tomorrow. More importantly, he said he expected a full recovery. Thank you Jesus!
Thank you to all who prayed for my son. We are blessed.

I have never known how priests can say a funeral Mass when they themselves may be upset.
How fortunate these people are to have you there.
I will say a pray for you...and all those mentioned who are in need.
