Please add Ryan, Sheila's ten month old baby, to your prayer list. He is in the hospital in Cheyenne with pneumonia. Doctors think it's a mild case but he's on oxygen and will be there for a few more days at least. Benjamin, his big four year old brother,  is staying with his grandmother Bonnie while their puppy golden retriever, Chase, chews up their household. The first news to cross my desk was soul rending but was soon followed by other news that made it better. I have to tell you, ignorance in these matters is an issue which ages you very fast.  For now though, things seem better. I suspect that by Sunday Ryan will be back home but until then, please pray for Ryan plus his Mommy & Daddy, Sheila & Dave.
