Ok Guys I am really calling on your help. Jeff left the hospital at 3:45 for home. It had started to snow her a little earlier and so Jeff walked a mile back to the RM house to get the car and to go home. He said the streets were already snow packed, and our nurse Kari said she had heard the roads were really bad coming in from Cedar Rapids. Well they are obviously bad going east on 80 too. Jeff got outside of Iowa City and reports the interstate is gridlocked. Traffic is completely sitting still. Please pray right now that they will get help for those who need it and get the road cleared and that Jeff will get home safely and in a timely fashion. Please pray that he will not worry or get stressed out, and that he will have a peace that surpasses all understanding. Thanks.
Second request. Our son Nick is VERY sick at home. He had been away for business and has come home with a high fever, coughing and shaking. Noah said that he has been praying for him and that he is really sick!! Please pray that he will give in and go to the Dr. and that he will get the help he needs and be healthy very soon. It is hard being the mom here and not able to take care of everybody. Please pray for me too that I will stop worrying about all of them.
Seth has felt bad all afternoon too. He felt like he was on a roller coaster, dizzy and stomach hurt. He ate a little this morning and now I think he's afraid to try too much. He is drinking water though.
Hil & Jer ~ thanks for the offer of your van. You guys are the greatest!!! I will have to let you know. The Dr. said maybe Wed. we'll see. Our problem is to get it and have someone to drive it out here. Jeff is in special training downtown all week and has to be there. Seth is suggesting I rent a HUMMER to take him home in. I think we need to start planning for a BENEFIT!!!!!

isrzread your requests and had just opened your blog to say the same, only except please tell jeff to stay there tonight. please call jeff and tell him to go to a hotel and spend the night and get up early to drive home for work...we are to get 4-9 inches of snow and it is blowing like crazy. thunder snow as it is also thundering and lightening too! i will hold you all in prayers. also, tell nick to go to the st francis clinic on 91. i went there just three weeks ago and was very pleased with them. the dr was very good. no use in messing qround with anything right now....please comfort seth that this is going to take awhile...just go slow. and you vicky...stop pacing. thinks will be fine. please ask jeff to pull over, it is not going to get better and i fear he is driving into worse weather as it is terrible here now.Your friend , Ruthi

2 cor 4:8-9 says "We are hard pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed." *hugs* we're praying. ~lid
