Request for Prayers

I have a request for some prayers please.
Yesterday wasn't such a good day of news. My sister Molly's father-in-law, Mark, was admitted to Mercy hospital on Saturday after having what appears to be a small stroke and found out that he has 70% blockage in his carotid arteries and had a pin-size spot on the back left part of his brain that controls sight...he never had any symptoms from that but he had numbness from the arteries which is what got him to the hospital in the first place. The Schuster's are still waiting for doctors to determine a course of action. He will have surgery to clean out one of the arteries but they aren't sure if more is needed until some results come back from some tests on his heart. The Schuster men do have a history of heart issues so please keep Mark and all of the Schuster's in your prayers please.

The other news we received last night was that my grandpa was taken to North Memorial because he was experiencing dry heaves and pain in his left side. The pain is the part that was the most concern as a few years ago he had a tennis ball sized aneurysm removed from his abdomen, right near where the pain was. This morning we know that the doctors believe it is diverticulitis. They are treating him with antibiotics and will hopefully be released either tonight or tomorrow morning. So please say a prayer for him as well.

Thank you and hope all of you are staying healthy.
