Prayers

We have just received news that earlier today my sister Amy and her family have been in a car accident. Tim and the five kids are okay, although banged up, but Amy is in the ICU. They hit hail while driving and the car rolled 3 times and Amy was ejected from the car. All we know so far is that she has broken ribs and  punctured lungs. Please, please please pray for her and her family. Thank you.

(Side note: since we live with fields surrounding us, mice apparently are not unusual.  And I have not idea how he got into the vent; it's something we need to investigate.) I heard him banging on the vent throughout the next day or two but not nearly as much as I did Sunday night.  Fast forward to today.  My bathroom stunk like nothing...
