My dad, and my sister's mother-in-law

[MrsDucky]

They did find some blockage when they did the angio, so they did put in one stent. They couldn't use the medicated ones, because he still has to have his gall bladder out, and you can't have gall bladder surgery for one year after having the medicated one put it. The gall bladder surgery will have to wait, since they did put one in, but only a few weeks. My parents now have to change their eating habits. They had made some changes a few years back, but this time they have to go all the way-only whole grains, watch sodium CLOSELY, watch fats, etc. All the things we should all be doing, but don't! My mom is cleaning the pantry, and offered me what they have to throw out. My question-if it's bad for THEM, isn't it bad for US? This will postpone the next trip, since you can't travel for so long after surgery, but I'm sure as soon as that time limit is up, Dad will be headed back to Uganda!

My sister's mother-in-law, [which also happens to be my dad's ex-wife (Dad is my step-dad, and his son is my brother-in-law. 13 years ago, my sister married Greg. A year later, our mom married Greg's dad. Greg is in need of prayers, since his dad is the one above, and his mother is the one this request is for.)], is in a coma right now. She was diagnosed with terminal cancer many months ago, and has been getting worse. She suffered a massive stroke earlier this week, as well as several smaller ones in the past 6 months. The children were told yesterday to come down to Arkansas. Right now, it seems like this is the end for her. If so, at least she won't be in more pain. Her family needs prayer to deal with the loss, or the continuation of her life, if that is what happens.

I know that many of you read these, and those prayers are appreciated! Even those who don't pray, we know your thoughts are with the people mentioned, and that is nice, too. Thank you all!
