Prayers for Casey, baby and Josh

[Pete in MI]

Casey has had several bouts growing up with Juvenile Rhumatoid Arthritis - once so bad she was wheel chair bound and could not walk. This stuff affects all her joints. It had gone into remission twice now and it is back. Her ankles hurt as do many of her other joints. She is on her feet all the time at work - Burger King. She spent 4 hours waiting in a clinic waiting room today to be told they could not help her - she needs a specialist in that area. Her last rhumatoid doctor is way down towards Detroit. Sherry did some checking and found one closer. Casey does not grasp the tragic part of this. The disease could be permanent this time. She could be wheel chair bound the rest of her life. She cannot take steroids they gave her before because she is pregnant. She may lose her job because she cannot do it on her feet. She could lose her baby if she does not take this seriously. She cannot take the pain meds she was on before because of the baby. The disease also damages the retinas of the eyes...she could become blind is left untreated.

Dispite warnings from Mom - Casey is going into work anyway. Sherry tried to make Josh understand. I picked Casey up from Adult Ed today as she was in so much pain. She may have to stop going to school if she can't be there. They don't have internet access where they are so home schooling is not going to happen.

Some things you can never get kids to understand. Please pray she will make the right choices, the baby does not get this or loses its life over it, and Josh doesn't decide to walk away from it all later if he does get saddled with a wheel chair bound and/or blind wife.

Praying for Casey, Baby & Josh! Prayers change things and we must have the faith to trust in Jesus, the Great Physician Who heals, comforts and gives peace during trials. This is another trial satan is testing you with to try to get you all to fall away from God and lose faith in Him! Remember, I said after the goodness of God has been bestowing upon you, satan would come and try to knock your feet out from under you and Sherry, but don't let him....just keep praying and leaning on Jesus and He will see each of you through! I will pray for God to move upon Casey and keep her and the baby well and out of danger and to give godly wisdom to her and Josh! I know how arthritis hurts and working on her feet all day doesn't help and women's feet & legs swell during pregnancy so she must be really hurting and tiring easily! God Bless you all and my prayer is:

Dear Lord,

Please, please move upon Casey and the baby and help her to feel better with the swelling going down! Please take away the pain and keep her from tiring so easily! Please help her and Josh to have godly wisdom in how to take care of her and the baby. I pray that not even one thought would enter his mind to desert Casey and the baby! God we know that children are precious in your sight, so I ask You to give favor and mercy to each of them and help them to have a home with You as the head of their home, and then Josh and Casey and then their new precious, little one! May he or she be perfect in every way and a good, healthy and happy baby! We know with You nothing is impossible, so in faith I am asking and pleading with You to be merciful in hearing and answering our prayers in whatever way You see it needs to be done....even by having drs that will take good care of Casey and the baby!

Praise You and Thank You, Lord! WE LOVE YOU! Amen!

God Bless!
Betty
