Annis, I will keep your niece's husband and his fellow aid workers in my prayers. They are doing wonderful work!

Sharon, I am so sorry about Jason. It's good that he's in safe hands and that his Sgt. cares so deeply.

I'm praying also for all those who are being very quiet about their challenges.

Sharon--so happy to hear that Jason is safe and sound. The same thing happened to us with our daughter. Her doctor sent her to the hospital from an appointment and even though she asked that the unit call her sister (with whom she was living) they did not. We phoned all over the city (Police and all hospitals)trying to find her and finally a kind person at the hospital where she was admitted said that "she could not tell us THAT SHE WAS in the hopital". We were so relieved! I will continue to pray for you all.

Ritzy--I am glad Jerry's surgery is over and the tumor was not in the artery. I will continue to pray that he can make a full recovery.

Annis--what a wonderful ministry in Japan. It must be so hard for them to see the suffering and then return to their lives. Also so tiring to make such a long trip. I will continue to pray for them.

Well we found Jason. After only 3 hours sleeping and extreme worry, I called the base unit locator and got the unit desk. By 10 a.m. I was talking with his Sgt. a lovely woman who didn't realize that we didn't know anything. Apparently Jason's medication had a "horrible" reaction at work on Friday and she and another Airman took him to the hospital. He has been on the psych ward since Friday morning and will be there until the end of this week. She was listening to a very distraught mother and due to HIPPA rules they couldn't call. She also said that she just loved my boy and wouldn't let him fall through the cracks. There is still a long way to go, but at least we know where he is and he is alive, we honestly thought he had committed suicide. I know the brain goes through all kinds of things. Thank you all very much again. I know I keep saying it, but it is heartfelt. This site and people are wonderful.

I will keep you all posted on his/our progress.

Prayers for all of the TQS members and their families who are going through difficult times.

The bus group made it back from their first trip to Sendai. It was a 31 hour trip and they fed 1100 people one hot meal, only their 2nd hot meal in 10 days! The team returned exhausted and feeling guilty taking showers. They will sleep, prepare more food, and drive back. The first photo is the group at work. The next 2 the food rations for breakfast and supper.

Update on Jerry is the tumor is out and it did not go through the artery like they originally thought. Please continue to pray for him as he is not out of the woods. Thanks friends.

Sharon--I continue to pray for you and Jason.

Oh Sharon, I hope this all gets cleared up soon!! Many prayers for Jason and your whole family tonight! Big hugs to you my dear friend!

Oh my, Sharon! I will pray you find him soon. Hopefully he just went off for some private thinking time! Maybe to regroup. Keep us posted.

Ritzy - I'm sorry the news doesn't look very good! I will continue to pray for the family!

Hugs to you both,
Dawn

Hi All -- I am trying not to sound frantic, but... I haven't been able to get in touch with Jason since
Thursday, neither can his brothers or sister. We can leave cell phone messages, but not returning them. I sent him an email to call and that hasn't come through. I called the inpatient facility today to see if he is there again, and they said no. Tomorrow I am calling the base to send out the hounds. I am worried sick and trying not to. Ritzy, I am praying for Jerry.

Thanks everyone for your kindness, I will keep you posted.

Sharon

Praying for Jerry's surgery to be successful and for the whole family too.

Ritzy, I'm praying for you all.

Ritzy, I'm sending many prayers for Jerry and your whole family!

"So some changes have been made. After some tests this morning- the discovered that the tumor had gone into a main artery- so now a cardio-vascular team will need to be involved. Surgery will start later because we have to wait for that team to finish another surgery. Please pray that things go well during this much bigger surgery and peace for us as we continue to wait." This was the message I just got about Jerry's surgery. It keeps sounding worse and worse. Pray for this whole family, please.

Ritzy, I'm so sorry to hear about Jerry's tumor! I will pray throughout the day today! I pray the surgery goes well, and all of the cancer is able to be removed!

Warmest thoughts and heartfelt prayers to all those in need of support, be it physical or emotional suffering. Prayers always for our military, both here and abroad, as well as the suffering victims of earthquakes, tsunamis, floods and events beyond our control. Prayer intercessions have proven awesome, time and time again, and we are ever thankful!
