Thank you for the meals...but one request!

We have truly enjoyed all the meals that people have been bringing to oma's house. They have been fantastic.
However mom with a very sensitive gut must stay away from Corn, and Corn products. This includes corn on the cob, canned corn, cornstarch, cornmeal. Mom asks that if you are going to bring a meal for them to eat, that it needs to be corn free. Again we want to thank all those who have brought meals, even the ones including corn :)
The meals have been a great help to oma, and she is truly thankful. However mom can not have the corn.
Today was a very rough day, mom has been very uncomfortable. This was NOT caused by corn, but corn does seem to aggravate her IBS (Irritable bowel syndrome). Her bowels are not cooperating and this is creating havoc for mom.
I know that it may seem like a ridicoulous request, but mom needs prayer in the Guts department. Her bowels are soooo SLOW, she needs to get that moving better. So this is a specific request that you pray that mom will be able to move the bowels without to much discomfort. Mom was in a fair bit of pain because of the gas that is being stored in her guts.
Time is precious and we would love to have mom have her time here on earth to be comfortable.
It is incrediably hard on our family to see mom in such discomfort, that is uncomfortable to a normal healthy body, with the size of the tumors and its growth, mom's tummy has no room for stored up gunk. Please pray for mom today as we hope for a better day, and pray that she will get a good nights sleep.

Thank you, and God Bless,

Alida, Wilma and Family!
