Urgent Prayer Request for Mimi

Ethan's doing well right now, but his Mimi (Julie's mom) is not. Mimi (real name Rhonda) had sharp stomach pains all day yesterday so last night around 5pm Pop-Pop (real name Mike/Julie's dad) took her to one of the nearby satellite hospitals. They did a cat scan and determined her appendix was about to rupture. So they rushed her in an ambulance, across town to the main hospital campus (WakeMed - same campus we take Ethan for his cardiology appointments for those of you out of town folks). Around 3am they did an appendectomy surgery and during the surgery her appendix did rupture but everything was successfully removed.

Please pray for Mimi to get lots of rest today and to be able to come home by the weekend since she's got her mom (Julie's grandma/Ethan's great-grandma) in town until Tuesday from Chattanooga, TN. Also pray for Pop-Pop as he is sleep deprived today from the overnight surgery. He went home to get a short nap and change of clothes and get some work done and now he's headed back to the hospital for the day.

Oh, and in other news - Ethan's going to have another little cousin! Aunt Jessica and Uncle Brandon found out on Monday that they're having a girl! So we're super excited for them!
