Do any of you have prayer requests??

I wanted to add a very sweet man that I've actually met before. He's the Chief Meteorologist of our local News station, Dick Fletcher. He had a stroke on Monday and from what my neighbor said he does not sound to good (she works for the News station.)

Please keep him in your thoughts - the news certainly isn't and wouldn't be the same without him.

I'm not sure if anyone read this post, but if you did, and would like an update...

Dick Fletcher passed away this morning.

The news will never be the same. And of course, we are having some scary, icky weather today.

Rest well, Fletch.

Prayers to Dick's family and colleagues. He was just too young...and looks healthy in his photos!

He has created endless memories, and mentored many others. A wonderful man.

prayers for my uncle Ted please-
he found out he was a diabetic late this summer, had a sore that just would not heal - a couple weeks ago - he underwent a procedure to put a vacuum in place to get rid of the infection and encourage new growth around the area of the sore.
then about a week later - he underwent a major surgery of bypassing his arteries of his lower legs due to poor circulation. (he has suffered from blood clots since his 20's - come to find out his circulation to his feet was about nil)
they had to go in and open him up from sternum to groin - move all the innards around - bypass the arteries - put everything back and sew him back up! HE was getting around pretty well, but I just found out from my mom he spent the nite in the ER with KIDNEY STONES!

Poor Uncle Ted! He just can't get a break!

I hope they could do an ultrasound on the stones and get them broken up. That is terribly painful!

Staci - some docs say a good fish oil Omega product helps with circulation and keeping blood vessels clear. I wonder if they would help your uncle.

Prayers and I hope he gets to recover from everything now.
