The Power of Prayers...

As you have all been able to guess from reading our blog we have been having an amazing time in Malaysia. We do however have some sad news to report. Last Thursday morning we woke up only to read our worst fear about leaving has actually happened. Meghan got an email from her mom saying that her Grandma Betty (Jenny’s mom) had a stoke that morning and was in the hospital. Half of her body was paralyzed; but she was showing a few responsive signs. We have been keeping in contact with Keith, Jenny, and Jonas as much as possible but it has been hard since we are literally half a world away. After being able to run a few tests they were able to determine that she has suffered from a massive stroke and that her body is slowly shutting down. This last weekend she was moved into hospice. Keith and Jenny are flying out to be with her and with Meghan’s aunt and uncle. After a lot of consideration and looking at every possible angle it has been decided that Meghan will stay in Malaysia. Betty has always been big on seeing the world, education, and making the most out of life. This has all been extremely hard to cope with so if you could please keep the Rediske’s and Meghan’s grandma in your thoughts and prayers that would great. We love you all and please be safe!
