Read her scriptures at 6:30am.
Bishop Zander came in this morning right after Patty and I had prayer. It was her day to say it but she didn't cooperate, so I said it for her. I pleaded with the Lord for a miracle but told him I understood the concept of "Thy will be done" if that was the miracle he had in store for Patty. They had related, previously, that her liver was continuing to fail due to the auto-immune hepatitis. That was one of the "jokers in the deck" they were trying to cope with. I had been watching a marker on her vital signs that had to do with her kidney's function and had discussed it with the family, because it was getting close to a troubling reading. Yesterday, it became a concern. I didn't put this on the blog because I knew I would be writing this today. This morning, the doctor told the Bishop and me that her kidneys were failing and they would probably be starting dialysis. They don't know what has caused her to be unresponsive. Nothing in all the tests give them a cause. I'm not a doctor and I don't have the answer for sure, but I suspect she is preparing to go home and giving us a chance to prepare too. You know that's how she is. Very orderly.

Please keep praying for her, the "thy will be done" part is allowed. Who knows the miracle may be for her to stay.
Anyway know of our love for each of you.
