🌎 Abegg Health Emergency & Prayer Request

Love Letters from the Abeggs:   "…to those who are called, beloved in God the Father and kept for Jesus Christ: May Mercy, Peace, and Love be multiplied to you." (Jude 1:1) Prayer Request: Claudia's Hospitalization & Health Needs I mentioned in a previous newsletter how over the past few months Claudia has been battling fatigue and other symptoms. Since then, we've discovered that these are related to an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism), that unfortunately hospitalized her last Sunday with labored breathing and "heart failure", which is different from a heart attack, but rather when the heart is working excessively hard yet failing to pump the necessary blood. Thankfully since her thyroid issue had already been diagnosed, the doctors had a good idea where to start, and by the end of the day we had a battery of tests in hand and an initial treatment underway. As part of this "thyroid storm", she was retaining water which caused significant swelling, and collected in her lungs adding further stress on her struggling heart. The medical staff did a fantastic job in caring for her during the next few days and she was released Tue. night to continue recovering at home. Please pray for a full recovery as it will be a long process to balance her system due to the hormones her thyroid flooded into her organs, and then to adjust the necessary medications for the future. Claudia is in good spirits, breathing and feeling significantly better, and we're thankful that the Lord made it clear she needed to get the hospital Sunday morning.  Though we're both tired, we're trusting in His hand in the midst of this challenging season. Thank you so much for your prayers, please continue praying for the Lord's guidance and grace in this time!
