More on T's Wrist

Hi all... To go with what I posted yesterday, requesting prayer for my brother, here is an emailed prayer request/update that he sent out to our church family today. It made me cry, because I know the depth of emotion attached to this for him, and because we are very close as siblings. It hurts me that my baby brother is suffering in this way, and I really would appreciate your prayers for his healing. (Also, he has had to give up not only guitar, but volleyball, basketball, and several other sports activities that he has always enjoyed.)

Hello church family, its been a few months since I last updated you on my wrist, so here we go again. In the past few months i've had physio therapy, x-ray, bonescan, MRI, and chiropractic treatment, and unfortunutely nothing has helped me. The specialist is still unable to diagnose my problem, thus treatment is nearly impossible. I talked to one of the heads of the Music Department at Rocky (my college) today, and she told me (understandably) that I can't stay in the music program if my wrist doesn't heal. I would ask you to pray for healing, but also for me to accept this situation with Joy. I am praying for God to transform my attitude so that I can honestly be joyful and say I am blessed despite my circumstances. However, I am finding this to be a difficult goal. My inability to play both guitar and the sports I love is causing me a great deal of pain and struggle. I would greatly appreciate your prayers for my healing and growth through this time.


Your brother in Christ

T.
