I was feeling under the weather over the weekend and went to the doctor. He ordered blood work and one of the tests – for my “sed rate” came back abnormally high. The test is non-specific but does indicate some source of inflammation in my body. It could be related to my current pregnancy or it could be something more serious (up to and including cancer). I have a follow up this Friday where I hope to get more answers. Prayers would be appreciated.

Father, hear our prayers for your daughter and grant that she be perfectly healthy in body, soul and spirit. Let this be nothing serious, and grant her a healthy baby. We ask all this through your Son, Jesus Christ. Mother Mary, pray for your daughter.
