Continued prayers for John and Sue.

May this ordeal end soon and may she fly through the rest of her pregnancy easily.

If not, as I have had friends with these type of difficult pregnancies throughout, may our Lord give His Divine help to the rest of the family, that they will have the stamina to both help her and go about their daily chores and routines.

May God bless the Gibson family,
In Christ,
Alice

HI all,

Haven't been around much, you guys could see this...

Sue is still pregnant, She is still in the worst case of morning sickness that we have ever endured.

At this point most of the work around the house is falling on my shoulders and I am very tired. Please continue to pray for my wife that the Lord gives her the grace to accept what she is going through.

Ask the Lord to send his Grace upon me so that I am able to function during this time and not become a raving ____________ to my family and friends.

I know the prayers are working because I know I wouldn't have been able to get this far without them.

John

John

I'm sure I speak for all when I say we are not forgetting about you and Sue.

Just drop in occasionally [ to give yourself a wee break ] and update us.

Try not to get too exhausted.

I do hope this problem lessens soon

With prayers for mother and child, health and happiness.

May the Mother of God, Mother of all the faithful, watch over and protect mother and child during this pregnancy, enfolding them both in the mantle of her protection!

Ok... Another Update.... The Saga Continues....

I had to take my wife Sue to the Hospital on Valentines Day (Happy Valentine's day!!!)

Her Urethra had gotten blocked, most likely by her uterus. She had been retaining urine for a few days.

She wasn't feeling good, so I took her in because she thought she was dehydrated (because she wasn't able to urinate.)

Well got to the Hospital and they drained 2 liters from her in 10 minutes, and over the next 4 hours another 4 liters.

Her sodium was at such a low level that they feared heart problems or seizures.

She has been on Cardiac Care Unit (one step below ICU) since the 14th.

Now for the good news... Baby is fine, the Ultrasound Tech says that she is very very very very sure that we are having a boy.

If so then we will name him:

Benedict John Paul Gibson.

Thanks for all your prayers.

John

Dear John,

Continued prayers for the recovery and health of your wife and son who is yet to be born....

How many months pregnant is your wife? I hope that it won't be too much longer.

In Christ,
Alice

John,

Prayers for Sue. If it is a boy, that is a wondeful name. I have always been partial to Benedict, for Saint Benedict of Nursia.

In IC XC,
Father Anthony+
