We need your prayers
As I type this, my mother in law is in the emergency room of a local hospital. She was having trouble breathing and rescue was called some time around 2:00 AM. She has been suffering from an increasingly debilitating disease called myasthenia gravis for some time and the meds havent been working despite many increases in dosages.
I dont even know where to begin in describing my mother in law save to say that she is the epitomy of the strength, generosity and compassion of the Cuban woman. She saw her husband go off to the Bay of Pigs and subsequentyly raised her daughter on her own in exile while that husband languished in prison. She has started NPO's to help recently arriving Cubans stand on their own two feet. She has been a teacher, a school administrator and has been instrumental in the start up of many Day Care centers and pre-k schools throughout the state of Florida. Her life has been and is selflessness.
She has fought the tyranny of the island with every breath for the better part of her life and now she lies on a hospital bed with the possibility of needing a respirator.
I am not the most religious of men, but right now I'm praying for my mother in law, who took me into her heart and has treated like her very own son.
I ask all of you to keep her in your thoughts and pray for her recovery.
We will keep her in our prayers, and will put her name in our congregation's prayer list. May God watch over her.
My prayers as well.
She is in my prayers.
God bless her and your family.
I wish your mother-in-law a speedy recovery so that she can be with you and your family again soon. She and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
In my prayers too.
I hope that your mother-in-law gets well soon. She is in my thoughts and prayers.

rezare por tu familia en general..se lo merecen..que se mejore,y que dios los acompane..
my thoughts and prayers are with you and Maggie and her family.
Y'al are certainly in our hearts and prayers. What a blessing that she is somewhere she can get medical care. Another blessing that she has loving family near her. And still another blessing that you can ask prayer across a world, quickly and publicly.
Prayers to her!
I was away all day at a conference, and just go home to see this. I will keep her in my prayers, as well as you and the Mrs. You all need all the spiritual help you can get.
In our prayers.
My prayers too. I know what you are going through, and have seen what she is going through.
Your description of her brought a few tears to my eyes.
Add mine, too.
Val,
I understand the part about "...I am not the most religious of men." I question my faith often. Yet, I also get the feeling that God doesn't really care how religious we are, just how honest. I will pray for your mother-in-law, her husband, your wife, and you.
