Pray for DJ her mother-in-law, and her family

DJ's mother-in-law is very sick right now. She had a heart attack last December and is not recovering well. She also has a bad hiatal hernia, so she can't eat much and is losing weight fast. She was in the hospital for iv feeding and is now home, but is still weak, won't get out of bed, and her heart is not strong enough for surgery. We prayed for her in the room last week, and she did get better over the weekend. The doctor says if she can eat 1200 calories a day, she should be alright. Pray that she can eat enough and that she can work thru the depression that has come with this illness. She does know the Lord and she is the heart of the family, so if/when she dies, she will leave a big hole.

Her daughter, (DJ's sister-in-law) is helping her, but she is diabetic and wants DJ to come help. The daughter needs to get back home but DJ's mother-in-law wants her daughter to stay.

At the same time, DJ's parents need her help as well and she is planning to travel to visit them in August. They were planning to move to assisted living, but the plans they had fell thru. Pray they can find an assisted living they can afford.

Also, DJ's son is having trouble at work. Please pray for him, too, and for DJ as she juggles all these needs and her own. Thanks!
