Default Prayers for my brother-in-law
My sister's husband (42 years old) had a stroke last spring due to an unknown bleed in his brain. Last fall he went for surgery to correct this bleed, which in turn caused another stroke unfortunately, and they were unable to continue the surgery.

Tomorrow morning they are going to give the surgery one more try -- I'm not a terribly religious person (we do go to church, I think it is important to my children/me, as well as practice what I've been taught). However, I also believe that god listens to our prayers, unfortunately sometimes his answer isn't what we ask.

However, my brother-in-law is an amazing dad, giving/caring husband and a truly wonderful uncle to my kids (I'm most impressed with how much he loves my sister ). If you are willing and into it -- could you please say a little prayer for Carl to not only make it through surgery (no more strokes please!!) but also that they are able to cure his bleed so my sister and him can stop living in limbo and carry on with their crazy lives.

Thanks

Life is such a precious and fragile thing. I will keep Carl, your sister, and your family (and you!) in my thoughts and prayers tomorrow.

Blessings to you all.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Carl did well -- he had a small seizure during surgery but they were still able to complete it. So, hopefully, he will not have another stroke -- thanks for thinking of him!!
