Turn in your Bibles, if you're not already there, to Psalm 70. That's where we'll pick it up.

And then Lord willing, we'll make it to Psalm 73. I sure hope so, because I'm really looking

forward to Psalm 73. For those of you who know what it's about, you know why. I'm looking

forward to it. I wanted to mention, we've had a number of people that have asked us for an update

on Michelle Kendall

and already sent a text update. I'm just going to read it to you and we just need to continue

to pray. He says, continued prayers please. Michelle had the vocal court injection yesterday and is now

on three days of complete vocal rest and he has

in all caps no talking, not even a whisper. Not easy for a woman who is 25% Portuguese. I hope

it was okay if I read that, Artie. If not, you have to forgive me. This whole thing

is due to a paralyzed right vocal cord, which is likely caused by the prolonged intubation

in ICU. She will have another modified barium swallow test tomorrow. The results of this

test will help determine her ability to swallow.

Even a very good result will probably only graduate her to nectar consistency with hopes

of gradual improvement. We are hoping for a proper swallow and avoidance of any aspersion.

I think that means aspiration. Anyway, at the earliest, we might

be discharged in the beginning of next week, which would be, I mean, amazing. We have every hope

that the nerves affecting the vocal chord will spontaneously resolve themselves, as is typical from what I found online.

Prayers to this end are fervently sought, as without this it is likely additional invasive measures will be required in order to assure proper nutrition to facilitate healing from the initial major surgery.

This was really intense.

So he says, thank you all.

So why don't we pray if you would join with me also.
