Probably no run today ... but I do have a prayer request!

My mom has been battling acute leukemia, since she was diagnosed last June.  This last week has been her toughest yet!.  She awoke last night with a fever of 103, and saw her doctor today  before a scheduled treatment, and she has been admitted to the hospital for IV antibiotics & some additional testing.

It is Mothers Day weekend, so we are all praying her hospital stay will be brief, give her strength, and combat the evil disease attacking her!  My sister is arriving this afternoon, and my brother & his family are arriving tomorrow ... praying for a weekend which brings smiles to her face!

So sorry. THat is tough watching someone you love go through that. I will pray for your mom too. What a great Mother's Days gift to your mom to have all her children visit.
