Another visit to the hospital

Thanks for the prayers and comments from the last blog. Mari went to the hospital again this afternoon as she was feeling so rough. They are checking for a further infection and have given her a lot more tablets. Please pray that if there is an infection, we have caught it very early. The Doctors have generally warned against infections and if her temperature rises above 38 the hospital need to be informed straight away and she will have to be hospitalised . It is 37.7 at the moment.

Although these side effects are very common for the chemo, they are still unpleasant and difficult to deal with. We do realise that it is going to be a long battle and value prayer support so much.


Many thanks

With love
The Days

Father,
We know you to be good, faithful and trustworthy. Please come and touch my sister as only you can do. Allow Mari to sleep, to rest, and for her body to digest what she can eat. I speak peace, your peace over her even now, in Jesus' name.
We love you Lord, be merciful, be gracious to Mari for your sake, I pray.

Hi Mari
I've just started a 3-month course at the International House Of Prayer (IHOP) in Kansas.
I just wanted to let you know that I have 'brought you with me' and am lifting you up daily in the 24/7 Prayer Room.
There is also a huge healing/revival thing happening in Lakeland, Florida and Todd Bentley has said that he will anoint any email requests for healing this Friday and lift them up in prayer. I took the liberty of emailing a request for you.
Much love, Kathy Laver (City Gate Church, Brighton)

Babe thinking about how brave you are being and all the incredible adjustments you have gone through and continue to go through.

Here's a wee song I wrote for you (well someone else wrote it orginally)
"I'm a brave brave mouse
And I go marching round the house and I'm not afraid of anything!"

This next little while sounds pretty tough, actually more than just tough. Praying for your recovery all the time and thinking of you often.
Love kt
