Sister Tricia Kirk of the Baltimore Benedictines sends us this update on the two Bristow sisters after spending yesterday with Sister Cecilia, the Prioress at Bristow. Thank you all for your prayers for us and more so for the Bristow Sisters. The 2 Sisters are now on trachs but seem to be still unconscious. Sr. Charlotte moved her toe last night which was a good sign. She is the one on cumadin and her errythmia seems better. She had colon damage and had part of her intestines removed. Her body is swollen particularly her head. Both Srs are still in the Trauma unit and critical.
Sr. Connie is the one with diabetes and has mostly bone structure damage, including broken vertebrae in her back, two broken legs and her wrist is broken.
Sr.Cecilia's homily from Sr.Denise's funeral is on their website Benedictine Sisters of Virginia. You also might want to read the article in the Arlington Herald.
So, continue to pray as this will be for the long haul for the Srs and the community. But they are great in supporting one another and know that lots of people are supporting them which is how they are getting through this. They count on our prayers. -- Peace, Tricia
