J.B., thanks for the kind email regarding my grandmother today....and the prayers being said on her behalf are working (my email isn't working properly; I can recieve emails, but all my replies/ outgoing emails come back; aren't getting to the recipient).

Granny is doing much better this evening.....hasn't bled at all today; and was able to eat solid food for lunch and dinner today. The doctors said her blood count has improved markedly since yesterday, and if nothing changes, it's likely she can avoid surgery (a scheduled blood transfusion was canceled because her blood count has improved so much). I'm thrilled to see her doing so well, and am hopeful she'll be back home within a few days.

Again, thanks so very much to you and to all the precious friends who've lifted my grandmother and I in prayer. May God bless each of you :)

Perry
