Friday Night

Mari has been in hospital for a week now and is anxious to come home. The Drs are still unsure of where the infection is and so are giving a wide range of drugs to try to cover all the bases. If the fever stops, they might let her out early next week, if it doesn't, they will do a more invasive investigation which Mari does not relish in the slightest. When she woke up this morning, her temperature was 39.6 which is still very high. Please pray that will level out. Her blood count is up which will help her fight infection.

We have mentioned before about the problem finding veins for the lines to be put into Mari. They have to be changed every few days to avoid infection. Today, they had to use Mari's feet as all the veins in her arms and hands are not suitable. Every time they try to put a line in it causes much discomfort.


Thanks again for all your love and support, it means so much to us all.

God bless
With love
The Days and Phil

Hi Mari, Dave, Rhi and Phil

So appreciate all your updates. I feel heartbroken to think of you suffering so much.

Just want you to know that I am with you each day - spuring you on Mari to be able to cope and thinking of you Dave, Rhi and Phil alongside.

Much Love as Always

Still praying for you beautiful girl! Praying also that you will know the lord's heart in all of this. Go to your Godspace (where is God for you now? Is he in front, behind you, beside you, beneath, inside, outside) because he is Jehovah Shammah, God is with you. Stay there because in that place there is peace, rest, healing and revelation. Love Kate Ball

Hey Mari,
All at City Lights prayed for you today, together and also separately in the prayer room - hope you felt the love! :)
It was a good day and the news is going to come pouring your way - look what a great work you did in starting something that is just growing like topsy you amazing woman!
I so missed you and Rhi in the prayer room, but you would have loved the riot of colour we put in there this year.
Love, hugs, prayers and blessings
