Just receiving a letter from Sheila Ferrell that her father is intensive care at the hospital, I have a request and that is for anyone that could say a prayer for them, or post a kind word.
His condition is serious with renal failure, anneurisms in his main aorta that travels from his stomach to his legs as is extremely serious. I just thought it would be important to post this for anyone that knows her. May God be with them at this difficult time.
(she doesn't know I am posting since she is off the computer for a few days, but, when she does return, maybe it would be comforting for her to know we care. Thanks, Deb

Thank you for your kindness as Sheila is not only a letterhead, but a very sweet lady and so good to others. Her dad is certainly very special to have a daughter such as Sheila.
Originally I posted for all that know her, but I meant, anyone, really. ( I type quickly sometimes as I compose).
I will try to reach Sheila tonight if I find her phone no. to tell her about the support from letterville as I know it will build her spirit at this difficult time.

Deb, Thanx for callin' and writin', and thank you each for the prayers. I really believe in the power of the spoken or written word. Ya'll are SO sweet. I can't wait to greet you in person so I can give you a big hug. Everyone of ya'll are just family that I have'nt seen in person yet... we should film it on Unsolved Mysteries: "An Alabama woman discovers extended family in most parts of the world"
My Dad did the dialysis thing today and the dr.s think his kidneys will start on their own again and then they'll address the anneurism. He's not out of the woods yet but you can see an open field thru the branches.
Thank you all again! I love ya'll!

Sheila,
That's wonderful news. I just got a "body rush" when I read about your father's success today.
May I add that there are so many kind and generous people in Letterville that it baffles me, as I don't know how to thank them except for right here. May God keep blessing your dad's physician as He is the "Great Physician" with a power like no other.

Sheila, I'm so sorry your father is not well. When my husband was in intensive care I received something from a dear friend that I would like to share with you.
He said. "Just remember that God is the one in charge. And.... He is not shaking in his shoes, nor is He in the dark about the outcome, and He loves him more that we do. So whatever happens, All things work together for them that love the Lord."
Helped me, I hope it helps you.
