My wife has stage four renal cancer. Tomorrow she is having what we hope will be life-saving surgery -- surgery which her "pre-existing conditions" might have made impossible prior to the Affordable Care Act.
We invite your prayers for successful surgery tomorrow. And we urge you to put those prayers into action by working to preserve the reforms that have moved this nation closer to making health care accessible to ALL Americans.

Prayers for you both, and for the team that will be caring for your wife.
And a promise to keep fighting so that *everyone* will have access to high-quality, affordable care. I've got your back....

Oh, Susan: PRAYERS ASCENDING!!!
Loving, Healing Lord Christ, hold Louise close.
My best friend is having spinal surgery today, so if anyone has any spare prayers lying around...
Prayers going up for both of you. Prayers also for JCF's friend. May God's blessings be on all of you and those who will work for their healing and return to health.
Prayers for you both, and JCF's friend.
Prayers for you both, and JCF's friend as well.
Prayers for all involved.
Susan, you and Louise have been in my heart and on my breath since reading of this via Jay Johnson's facebook before the sun even rose.
Please Lord, continue to bring your lamp to enlighten the darkness, For by You, we can run against the troops, For by You, we can leap over a wall, Your way is always perfect. Your Word is proven, You are a shield to all who trust in you.
Thank you Lord, for being our Rock. You are our strength, you are our power, you make our way perfect. Please Lord, enlarge the path beneath (Louise & Susan's) feet, we are depending on your gentleness. Thank you. Thank you. Amen.
Prayers for Louise and for you. I am holding you in my heart.
Saturday morning update: Louise is still "critical but stable" and a truly amazing team of caregivers are all over it in CICU. Will send any updates as we get them but for the moment everybody just keep doing what they're doing ... with our deep gratitude!
Susan
More prayers!!! Jesus, mercy!
My best friend came through her surgery very well. Thank you for your prayers, for her continuing recovery.
Dear Susan,
I just saw the sad announcement come over the Integrity Canada list. Even though I do not know you or Louise, the news hits hard.
There is little I can do from this distance except pray.
Cyber-hugs,
Pat
