Thanks to several of you who have been praying. We wanted to give you a brief update:

In May David’s Dad suffered what appears to have been a mild stroke. The doctor sent him to the hospital for an MRI to confirm what happened but he was not admitted to stay overnight.

Thankfully the effects have not set him back too much. And he has now had a couple of weeks worth of physical therapy to restore a little mobility – that helped.

Unfortunately the doctors said to “probably expect more” of these types of mild strokes. He has been struggling with Vascular Dementia – somewhat akin to Alzheimer’s – for over five years. Supposedly strokes are one thing that “goes with the territory” of this disease.

Thanks for praying for Mr. Babby – as everyone calls him – his real name is Larrabee, but reportedly his sisters could not pronounce ‘Larrabee’ when they were young so ‘Babby’ stuck instead. Pray too for Mrs. Joanne – David’s Mom – as she daily serves and cares for him with strength and patience that the Lord is providing. She is doing a fantastic job.
