Ramps Installed!

Thanks to the kind help from Marc Fortier and Joe Mori, the Spiros now have a ramp inside their house, making it possible for John to get to the kitchen/lower level on his own! Thanks also to Danny Dustin for providing the wood. They will begin work on the outside ramp that Drew kindly offered after Reid's passing. They will install it on the deck and then will need guys to help build the ramp to the driveway. We will keep people posted as to when that will occur.
Thanks for praying for Kathy's job. It looks like her job will continue, insurance will continue and all money owed for the past 5 weeks will be paid soon. That is a huge answer to prayer, especially the insurance. Please continue to pray to this end!!
Harry Gottlieb and Michael Thompson brought coffee and bagels on Saturday and had a great visit with John. Visits are always welcome but it's recommended you call John's cell to make sure he's up to it on that particular day - 301-437-1510.
Lastly, as you pray, please continue to pray for grace as they face all of these adjustments to their home and life.
Kathy has expressed numerous times how grateful she is for your prayers and care. Thank you!

Caring for the Spiros

Welcome to the Spiro Family Blog. After talking about how to best care for John and Kathy and their family, a group of us have thought keeping this blog would be the easiest way for friends and family to keep up with their needs (prayer and practical). I will be updating the blog as needs arise as well as to inform everyone of present prayer requests that I hear from John or Kathy. Please feel free to leave comments and encouragement for John and Kathy in the comment section.

Prayer Requests:

• that the insurance company would cover the cost of John's new power wheel chair
• God's continue provision and insurance coverage through Kathy's job
• wisdom and guidance about how to make their house more accessible for John
• slow the progression of limited mobility for John
• Kathy's work schedule is up for re-structuring - pray for a schedule that would best serve her family
  
• pray for increased faith and grace as John and Kathy walk this road
