Dale has another bowel obstruction. We were up all night with her vomiting and having quite a bit of pain. Carried her to the E.R. this a.m. and they admitted her.

The blockage doesn't seem quite as bad as the last two as the bowel is not 100% blocked as it was the last two times.

I would ask that you remember her when you pray.

She has been fighting this for about 16 years and has been in near despair many times but she has always bounced back and she still praises and worships our Lord Jesus even in her condition.

God is good!!!

She was better today. They have her on 120 mg. of prednisone which is very high. I don't think she has ever been on that high a dosage before.

She was put on a liquid diet today and tomorrow they will try her on some semi-solids if she doesn't have complications with the liquids.

It will depend on whether her intestine opens up to allow passage of waste.

If she does ok they may let her come home Sunday with oral prednisone in high dosages and taper her off gradually.

Thanks for the prayers.
