Our family has been out of town for a week and have missed reading the updates on Irene and Dave.  Thanks so much for this website - it is really helpful - especially to know how to pray specifically.  Irene - its been confirmed by many that you are the Proverbs 31 woman.  I’ve always felt that and have been inspired on many occasions by your smile and determination to do what God has asked you to - whether you felt like it or not.  This situation is certainly another demonstration of your faith - despite the certain difficulty that you are experiencing.  Just know that you are loved and are missed and being prayed for moment by moment. 
With love, Sue
