Well I am going to post my prayer here for her. In the name of Jesus I come to you on the behalf of Joan in Las Vegas. You know her need more than anyone else. I know everything happens for a reason and you don't make mistakes bottom line. I also know that you died for us and by your stripes we are healed. I am being unselfish and not asking that you do this for me, but that you do this for Joan. She was trying to improve her quality of life by getting the lap band not to make it worse in any way. I know that you hear and answer prayer because that is just the kind of God you are. I am sending this prayer request to you knowing that you have heard it and you will honor it in your son Jesus name Amen.

Hey Joan! I am so sorry this has happened to such a wonderfull person. You are dear to my heart in a number of ways, you take great care of Jeremy and little Emma thinks your the best thing since sliced bread. Jeremy needs you to get better so you can keep him in line. Our family is praying for you. Emma wants to come and see you (I dont think she quite understands what is going on). Linda has been very concerned about you, well, we all have been.

Stay strong! We LOVE you!!!!

The M Family
