Prayers for Jackie

Jackie was my son's girlfriend for a little more than 7 years.  They were very close and we all assumed that they would get married some day.  Apparently it just wasn't destined to be because they eventually ended up going their own separate ways.  I was very sad when that happened because Steve is an only child and I wanted him to marry into a family that would love him like I do, and Jackie's family truly did.  They thought of him as a son and a brother.  But some things are just not meant to be, and we have to accept that and move on. 

Jackie married Elden and had a daughter, and Steve moved on as well, hence The Madison!  But over the years I have stayed in contact with Margi, Jackie's mom.  She is a kind and loving person who extended that warmth to my son long after the break up.  For that I will be forever grateful. 

Last night when I got home from work this email was waiting for me:     

We have had a very sad thing happen.  Jackie woke up yesterday morning with no memory of her last four years.  She is very disoriented and in a very foggy state.  They ran a CT scan and blood tests and things came back okay.  She will now go for an MRI and an EEG and see where that takes them and of course will be under the care of a neurologist.  Physically she appears fine, but quite disoriented. Unfortunately, I am having radiation treatments again this week and have been unable to help Elden out much.  What we all could really use is all of your prayers for recovery for Jackie in whatever form that will be. I will update you whenever we know something definitive. Love,M

 I know that none of you know these wonderful people, but please include them in your prayers!  Thank you!
