This is an E-mail I just sent to a bunch of people...
Wanted to get another update out to you regarding Penny. It is hard to keep the updates coming as it seems things are happening every day. Here is the latest:
Since Thanksgiving Penny has had 3 surgeries and stints put in her kidneys twice. The main problem here is continued obstruction in her bowels. She has been in and out of the hospital four times (including both Thanksgiving & Christmas) and is currently there. Today she is battling a fever and an excelled heart rate. She told Dustin today that last night was the worst night she has had yet. The docs are thinking there is an infection in her kidneys and possibly another obstruction. Penny is very thin and obviously weak and in pain. But let me tell you – she is tough! She is continuing to fight and isn’t ready to quit just yet. If you are praying, here are some specific things to pray for:
Strength – Penny said she still has some things to do and wants the strength to do them. Pray she can get done the things she wants to get done!
Peace – For Penny, Dustin, and my family. It is incredibly difficult to watch someone you love suffer the way she is suffering. Pray as we, and all of you, carry this burden with Penny we will find the hope, joy, peace, and love available with our Savior Jesus. He knows our pain and cares!
Healing – Jesus tells of this parable regarding a man who needs bread for his guests but doesn’t have any. So he goes to his neighbors house and keeps knocking on the door shouting he needs bread until eventually the neighbor gets up and gives him the bread. The parable was said to encourage the followers of Jesus to be persistent in prayer. I have thought of this parable often the last few weeks. I’m not God so I don’t know what He is going to do with Penny but as long as she is drawing breath I will continue to fight on her behalf in prayer – asking God to heal her body. He is able to do this!
Thanks so much for your prayers, E-mails, text messages, voice mails, gifts, etc. They mean the world to me and my family. I know Jesus is alive because I have experienced His goodness through you!
I realize I am not the greatest on giving updates. If you our on facebook there is a group called “Pray/Encourage the Hoffmans”. You can find the group through my profile. This is a group to leave encouraging messages for Penny & Dustin. But it also serves as a place to read updates on Penny and how more specifically to pray. Feel free to join as I know many of you already have.
Grace & peace,
Jamie
