Hi,

Just asking for prayer for my mum who is 93. She has a few health issues, more discomfitting than serious, but she had abcess on her neck recently, and had been taking antibiotics for that, and is going to have it seen again at the hospital next week. The other thing is just that she has a bit of fluid retention in her ankles which makes them swell a bit and what seems like a bit of bruising on her leg, but she doesn't remember hitting it, so were are just hoping that improves.

We are grateful for the help she is getting and the medication she has. I try to encourage her with reading some excerpts from christian books.

Gracious Heavenly Father and Lord Jesus,
I pray for healing for dms’ mother, both physically and spiritually, as needed. Help her to either come to faith in the Gospel or continue in her walk with You. Please see to it that the abcess clears up and that she is given sufficient treatment for her ankles.
In Christ’s Name,
Amen

Whenever someone says they’re going to take antibiotics, well I know that doctors don’t always take time to tell them they will also need probiotics. Some yogurts oe Kiefer have them.

I hope she gets any that she needs, and I pray she will be fine.

She has to go to the hospital tomorrow. Her leg which had a patch which was quite "bloodshot", seemed a bit better the other day. She is very grateful to know people are praying for her.

I got her some yoghurts as suggested.
