Sharon...... I will pray for your sister. It would help to know her name and what medical problems she is having. Please know that "God is in control" and even though we don't understand things, "He" knows what is best. In Proverbs we read: Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not to your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your path. Our comfort is also in Him.......... Please know that He hears your prayers..... and don't give up......... Does your sister have a personal relationship with Christ???? Do we also need to pray for her salvation? My heart goes out to you in this time of frustration, and to your sister who I am sure is very frightened.

Neva, and all others: My sister's name is Joan. She is 56. She has been having petit mal seizures for years and they have increased in the past two years. She also has arthritis and migraines. The doctors recently put her on Depakote which appears to have interacted with her other meds and threw her into a semi-vegetative state. The doc's seem to think she might come out of it, but she is in bad shape and not too aware of what is going on around her. I can only pray that she will recover enough to have the appropriate testing and treatment that she has needed desperately for years. Thank you all for your prayers. The Lakota have a saying: "Mitakuye Oyasin"--We are all related. Thank you.
