[Magdalen] Prayer Request - Roland a\nd Shirley Orr

[Roger Stokes]

O received the following message from Roland's Vicar just now and have 
assured her that I would pass on the prayer request.  It does not sound 
a good situation at all.

"For the last month Roly's wife, Shirley, has been in hospital, after a 
nervous breakdown. His family have arranged for him to have carers in to 
help him wash and dress each morning and get to bed at night, and he has 
meals delivered, with friends from church popping in for company.

Roly doesn't answer the phone, but will sometimes listen if someone 
leaves a message, so it's hard to contact him except at weekends when 
often one of the family will come to stay.

Shirley is likely to be staying in hospital until September, but the 
experts say she does not have dementia and are hoping she will make a 
good recovery. At the moment she is not ready to have any visitors, and 
is still very anxious and unable to make any decisions."
