This update is from retired pastor Jim Stokes concerning his wife Grace. For an earlier update, click here.
Grace’s breathing is improved now that she is receiving oxygen overnight. However, her blood pressure fluctuations continue and she has swelling in her feet and ankles. Another problem is her inability to swallow solids. If tests show that she is unable to swallow, she will have a stomach tube inserted. She is currently almost starving.
Our two darling daughters arrived recently and will be staying for a few days. It is an absolute delight to have them here. It’s almost like it was before they grew up. They are truly darlings and they are a good tonic for both me and Grace.
Please continue to pray for Grace and for the whole family.
Our thoughts and prayers are with both of you and your entire family.
Blessings,
Doug
We love you both very much. You are in our prayers!
Dear Jim and Grace,
You are among the most beloved ministers and members of our fellowship. You are forever in our thoughts and prayers.
