[Woodcarver] Update on Bob Guge ...

[Larry Yudis]

Hi everyone,

In case you haven't been following the blog about my good friend Bob, here
is the latest:

"Bob is now on hospice care.  He will remain at the Alden Estates of
Barrington nursing home where hospice nurses will come each week and assess
him, make sure he is comfortable and in as little pain as possible.  Lately
he hasn't been able chew food; he has been on a soft diet.  Bob's appetite
has decreased significantly.  He is very tired and not as alert anymore. In
the past week he has declined a lot.  He gets confused and can still
remember things but he has a hard time focusing.  Please pray for comfort,
peace and strength for Bob and our family.  I think it would still mean a
lot to see him because we aren't sure how long he has, could be days, weeks,
or months.  The nurses usually can gauge each week when they assess him.  Of
course The Lord is capable of so much, but our days are numbered and God is
still faithful."

As you have read, Bob and his family need our prayers now more than ever.
If you would care to send a note of some sort to Bob and/or his family, send
it to laura at gugeinstitute.com.  Laura, Josh's wife, can print the notes off
and bring them to Bob when they visit.

I know that Bob has touched many of you over the years through his teaching
and his friendship.  Please pray for peace for him as he prepares to go
HOME.

Thanks for your time.

Larry and Carol Yudis
