Prayers for Jennifer Fulwiler!

Jennifer Fulwiler was admitted to the hospital Wednesday afternoon for pulmonary embolisms in both lungs.  Hallie Lord passed along this update this morning:

They are holding off on surgery (though it’s still an option) due to the size of the PEs and the fact that she is pregnant. Right now she’s just on heavy doses of blood thinners and being watched closely. It’s great news that the night passed without incident, but until the PEs are completely dissolved, it remains a very dangerous and scary situation.

and also this:

Many of you have asked what the Fulwilers might need in the way of assistance right now. I just talked to Jen and she’s going to think about it throughout the day. I’ll keep you posted on that front, too! Thank you so much for your kindness! I know she’s feeling the love!

Many people have been using the Saint Name Generator Jen designed a few years ago, to help them choose a patron for the newyear.  Jen’s saint for 2013 turned out to be Michael the Archangel, who is, of course, patron of the sick (among other things).

Will you please join me in praying to Michael the Archangel for Jen’s quick and complete healing, and for peace and comfort for her and for her family?

Holy Michael the Archangel,

defend us in battle;

be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.

May God rebuke him, we humbly pray:

and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly host,

by the divine power,

cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits

who wander the world seeking the ruin of souls.

Amen.
