Appeal for More Prayers

Aloha,

I just arrived back in Hawaii and spoke to Jodi by phone a few moments ago. She asked me if I would update the blog tonight with an appeal for more prayers. Jodi has felt sick much of the weekend and most particularly today and she feels as though her strength is waning. We think this may be, in part, due to the medications she's been taking since she left the hospital. Some adjustments are being made in that regard, which we hope will help.

She is genuinely concerned about going into another surgery on Wednesday, even on an out-patient basis, with the sickness and increasing weakness she's been experiencing.

Jodi is asking if you could please pray for her to receive an increase in her strength and well-being as she prepares for Wednesday's surgery.

Thank you again for your special love and caring and your continued prayers on Jodi's behalf.

With much appreciation,

Von

Hi Jodi,

I am truly amazed at how strong you are, and the amazing support and strength of your family as well! Through all of this, you have also been so optimistic! You are truly an inspiration to us all! Thank you so much! Remember that Heavenly Father loves you more than anything and is there to help you through the tough times, and is the only one who knows exactly what you are going through. I pray that you might continue to have strength beyond your own. Things will work out- they always do. Trust in the Lord.
You're in my thoughts and prayers- Hold on!

Jodi-

We don't blame you for being a little gun shy of any surgery. Your strength will return. It is an up and down kind of thing due to various things like out patient surgery, daily events, etc. Hang in there. You have come a long ways!! Prayers are being sent for sure!

Dear Jodi, I'm sorry to hear things are a little more difficult than you had anticipated at this time. Payers have been non-stop, but we will do some double duty in your behalf. Thanks for giving us this opportunity to help out more. Sometimes we wish there was more we could do, and this is something we can help with. Rest and prepare for Wednesday. I know the Lord will bless you. Love to you.
Love, Carol Liptrot
