We had a nice talk with a friend of our family who is a doctor here in Pittsburgh, and who has been a sort of "liaison" between the critical care doctors and us. He sat down with the entire family and explained that although things have been calm with dad's heart since Saturday, other parts of his body are getting worse, and in general things are not looking good. We are ready to leave it in dad's and God's hands - whatever they decide, we will accept. I'll try to keep everyone updated over the next few days as we wait.
We are so appreciative for the support everyone has given us during this extremely hard time for our family. Love you all!

Thanks for the post Steph. We are all thinking of you all and praying for you. This is my favorite saying:
ReplyDeleteI said to the man at the gate of the year, "Give me a light that I may go forth into the unknown." And the man replied "Put your hand into the hand of God. That shall be to you bettter than a light, safer than a known way."
Please hug everyone for us. Love Christi
Thanks for the updates, we spoke with Mary Sue just a bit ago. We are thinking of you all constant prayers. As they say the waiting is the hardest part. We love you all and pray that you make it during this difficult times. Love your florida family, Polly and Stacie Margaritis
ReplyDeleteHi guys, thanks for the update. You are right, Steph, all you can do is leave it up to your father and God to decide what is best and then it's our job to figure out how to deal with the outcome. Remember, God doesn't give us anything we can't handle. Lots of prayers are being said now!
ReplyDeletelots of love!

My Name is John and I work with Dave at the RAND building. I've really enjoyed getting to know Dave over the last year or so, he is an incredible person. I have missed talking to him over the last two weeks. My family has been praying for all of you and I know that God has a wonderful plan for him.
ReplyDeleteWe will keep praying as long as it takes.
Praying for all of you during this difficult time.
ReplyDeleteLove,

Tell your dad from me that's there's still too much good work to be done here and maybe God will agree. I know I was at death's door last September when I had emergency surgery and perodonitis, and I asked God to not take me yet, ans so He let me stay. Tell your dad he needs to ask for some extra time. All our love to you all. John, AJ & Company
ReplyDeleteI have been thinking about and praying for Dave
ReplyDeleteand your family all day. Dave was like my brother growing up and even though we have followed different paths in life I still feel
in my heart, close to Dave. I will keep on praying for all of you.

O Christ, You alone are prompt to defend us; quickly visit Your suffering servant Fr. David Sedor. Through the prayers of the Mother of God, deliver him from sickness and bitter pain. Heal him so that he may sing to You and always praise You - for You alone love us, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, always now and ever and forever. Amen.

We are all praying deeply for David, and hoping for strength to return to his heart and turn this in a healing direction--because we all need him.
ReplyDeleteDo you know growing up--when Aunt Jo watched us both, at 105 Zoa Ave., apartment, I can't remember a time, when David and I ever fought?--that is what a nice kid he was, always mellow and kind
We praying so hard to God for the whole family, especially for our great cousin & nephew
LOVE, Aunt Anne, Aunt Mary, Uncle Bill, Nikki, Kevin, Jess, Zak
You are all on my mind continuously. On Sunday Met Maximos told the parish of St. Nicholas Youngstown about how special Fr. David is and how concerned he is for him and Fr. Anthony. St. Nicholas is Fr. Anthony's home parish. He asked everyone in the parish to add their prayers.
ReplyDeleteEileen, Fr David, you and the girls are but a thought away. I pray that our Lord be compassionate and merciful. Fr David has much to do in the vineyard of our Lord and with his family.
Love in Christ, Phyllis Meshel Onest

Pres. Eileen, Stephanie, and Charissa,

You have the full faith, prayers, love, and support from Altoona, and may his Memory Be Eternal.
If you need anything at all, please call. We are here for you.
With Much Sadness and Love,
