An Update on Andy and Linda Brucato by Ester

An Update from Ester Montfalcone who works with the Brucatos in Bologna. Ester wrote this update after her conversation on the phone with Linda:

We need to pray for Linda. She is in Florida looking after her mother who had surgery during the Easter break and is recovering from that. She has breathing problems and is also fighting an infection which causes her fever. Linda's mother is 80 years old. She is very weak and at this point it looks unlikely that she'll be able to be independent again.
On the other hand, Andy is missing Linda a lot and in the past few days he has not been doing that well.
Linda has a return ticket from Florida to Chicago for next Monday but at this point she cannot even think of leaving her mother alone. They need to find a solution for her to be looked after and this is very difficult to do.
Linda was saying how it looks like black clouds are getting closer and closer and she is being pushed in a corner. Nevertheless, she finds encouragement in God's Word and trusts Him for His intervention at the right time. He knows our situations and takes care of us. We know God is in control
Let's pray that:
God will heal Linda's mother and that she'll be able to be independent again;
that in the next few days, the doctors will have clear and good advice for her concerning the future;
that Linda's family will have wisdom in the decisions they have to make;
that Andy will be encouraged during Linda's absence and will continue to make progress.
