[Magdalen] Prayers please

[Lynn Ronkainen]

Pub Friends, may I ask your prayers for my partner Jim as he is admitted to 
the hospital in the morning (Tuesday). He is having surgery to remove a 
number of large strangely shaped kidney stones, from a badly damaged kidney, 
early Wednesday morning. The surgery is high risk because of Jim's low heart 
function and A-fib. The surgeon is entering through his back to perform the 
operation. It will be time consuming due to the nature of the operation, the 
maneuvering, breaking and removal of as many stones as possible, and last 
and possibly most important the weakness of his heart and the need to 
carefully balance the meds that will keep his heart operating while at the 
same time stressing his heart with the surgery and other medical precautions 
necessary to perform the operation.

I'm kind of numb. He's feeling very positive and I'm trying to let that rub 
off on me.  I will keep you posted.

Many thanks, love, Lynn
