From Rev. Milton Kliesch
My son whitney’s vehicle ran over a road-side bomb in Iraq. He and his crew are okay. He is being checked for head damage from the blow. I am thankful for the new troop carriers built to withstand the roadside bombs. This is his third IED.

Thanks, Lord, for the sounds of the night. It looks like it’s going to be a quiet one. The doctors are slowly relaxing some of Emma’s aggresive procedures (took her cath out, allowing her to be off her bipap–oxygen–an hour at a time, allowing her to sit up in a chair, switched her morphine to a less stronger pain killer). She just this second figured out a way to lay on her side to sleep! Go, my Butterbean!
Krisa was able to spend several hours up here in PICU with Emma. It was good for both of them!
Momma loves being out of the ICU, even if that means painful days of therapy are around the corner. She looked so much better today! Pray for her pain tolerance as therapy begins.
Dad is still about 99% disoriented, confused, and hallucinating. But he’s safe and being taken care of! They’ve done more tests to try to determine what’s causing this. His sister, my Aunt Nan, has been such a blessing to us. She’s hardly left his side. Pray for his mental and emotional well-being. But also join us in praising God for how he’s taken care of us and walked us through all of this. We have the absolutely best friends and church family in the world! “Oh God, You are my God, and I will ever praise You…”
Maggie Lee Henson
At 6:30 pm tonight, our precious Maggie Lee was carried into the arms of her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. For these last three weeks, she fought for her life courageously, with the skillful help of the medical staff at Batson Children’s Hospital here in Jackson. She was blessed to have thousands of people praying and pulling for her. We celebrate her eternal life in the presence of her Creator tonight.
We gathered around Maggie Lee with this beautiful prayer from the Book of Common Prayer:
Into your hands, O merciful Savior, we commend your
servant Maggie Lee. Acknowledge, we humbly beseech you, a sheep of
your own fold, a lamb of your own flock, a sinner of your
own redeeming. Receive her into the arms of your mercy,
into the blessed rest of everlasting peace, and into the
glorious company of the saints in light. Amen.
May her soul and the souls of all the departed, through the
mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
We will be posting plans for her Celebration of Life in Shreveport, LA as details are completed. Thank you for your constant love and support.
