Written by Philip Codington on October 23rd, 2008Starbucks and intermediate accounting homework… a combination that’s consumed the vast majority of my night. It’s almost 9:30 p.m. My mom is driving to Lookout right now to spend the weekend with my Oma and Opa. My Opa (Dr. Wim Schaffers) isn’t doing well. His liver and kidneys are failing which is causing a build-up of ammonia (a toxin that the liver usually elminates) in his body. It makes him sleep a lot, and he’s lost his ability to do anything for himself. He’ll be going home soon. Pray for my family (aunts, uncles, and my family) - it’s a hard period of time right now. Pray for my Oma - she’s exhausted from taking care of my Opa.
I’m excited to see my mom in a few minutes. And I get to go home this Sunday to see the rest of my family!

I’m sorry your Opa isn’t feeling well, Phil. I’ll keep your family on my heart during the coming days. Stay strong, friend.
