Prayer request

Helen Patterson is a good friend. I met her over three years ago through my small group at church. She's an eighty-one year young ornery spitfire who can talk and cook up a storm. She went into the hospital last week. They put off surgery hoping she could get better without it. I stopped in the last two days only to find her peacefully sleeping. Thinking she needed her rest, I left. I went back today to find her gone. Panicked, I ran for the nurses station to find she was in Intensive Care from post surgery. How awful! They let me in to see her. She was aware I was there, but was too weak to speak. They say she will be okay. She will have a long recovery. Pray for her. She's so special.
