A Clean Bill of Health

Thanks to all of you who have been praying for Aileen. She went to the midwife today and received a clean bill of health. Her blood pressure, which had been trending up through the past three or four visits, suddenly fell precipitously back down to where it was a couple of months ago.

She should now be able to be less worried as she faces the last three or four weeks of pregnancy. God is good.

Once again, thank you for your prayers.
