Many prayers...

Please pray for my sister Barbara's stepson, Matt Ihle.  He was diagnosed with Leukemia yesterday and due to the lack of platelets, some bleeding was found in and around his brain.  Last night he had surgery to release the swelling and pressure on his brain.  They had to open his skull, clean out the bleeding mass and leave the right portion of his skull off until the swelling goes down.  They were going to insert a drain to keep fluid from developing during the healing process.  He will be heavily sedated and on a breathing machine for a few days.  When the swelling goes down, they will replace the portion of the skull they removed.  Once he recovers from this, he will start therapy for Leukemia.

 Please pray for wisdom for the doctors and complete healing for Matt.  Thank you,

Gloria Day

 

Praise the Lord!  My friend, Stephanie Greelee and her husband Rusty are proud parents of a little baby girl born Aug 21.  Reagan Liberty weighed 8 1/2 lbs and is "perfect" in every way according to her grandmother.  All prayers answered as this was a very high risk pregnancy and mother and baby are well.

Jonathan is now in the middle of the final test in his Marine Corps  Boot Camp training, The Crucible. Yesterday was the gas chamber and we can only assume all went as well as it can. The Crucible is a 52 hour test in which they hike 41 miles, and complete various challenges along the way, they get 4 hours of sleep twice during this period and three MRE meals. The Crucible began last night at 2:00 (So actually Tuesday morning 2 am) and ends on Thursday morning at 7:00. The last hours of the crucible are the most challenging as they conquer "The Reaper" a nine mile steep hike uphill with a 60 lb pack. This comes as they are exhausted fro the previous 30 miles of challenges and sleep and food deprivation.  

     When they arrive at the top of the hill there is a ceremony where they are awarded the Eagle Globe and Anchor emblem, a symbol of being accepted as a United States Marine! Then they will indulge in an all you can eat steak and eggs breakfast to celebrate!   

     Please pray for endurance and safety....and I pray he will lean on the Lord when he is weary. Thank you!  Annie and Steve Ellis

 

Prayers of healing for Rick Clayton, friend of Ghiselli family.  He was just diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer.  Rick is a husband and father of 4 children.  Pray for him to be able to communicate openly with his family about his illness. 

Thanks for Blessings

Dear Frank and Maria,
Thought  it was time for an update.
My treatment is going really well.  I have now had 12 Radiation treatments
and the skin is holding up.  No burns yet.  I am slated for 33 daily treatments,
so I better not speak too soon.  I do feel tired by late afternoon but
I am good at taking naps especially with my nice quilt over me even on the
hottest of days.
Love Janet

Pray for relief

Van Deckert's right leg is hurting pretty badly.  He thinks it could be inflammation in the veins.  He has a doctor's appointment on Wednesday and called today to see if he could switch to today, but she is booked.  Please pray for relief from the pain and if at all possible, that he could get in to see the doctor today.

Prayer of Concern

Please pray for my TOPS (weight support group) friend Donna.  She is anxious and worried as she waits for results from extensive testing for uterine cancer.  She has had cancer before and her mother had uterine cancer.

Thank you.  Love in Jesus, Audrey Ohanesian

Email hoax

If you've rec'd what looks like an email about Pastor Bothwell needing help, it's a hoax.  Someone has hacked into his account and is using his information.

Prayer for healing

My uncle, Dan (my mom's brother), is in the hospital again. They did an x-ray & found a blockage going to one of his lungs. They were going to do a tracheotomy on him, but they can't seem to get the fluid out of his lungs. he is still on the ventilator, but they decided not to do the tracheotomy at this point. They have him sedated because he would rip IV and ventilator, etc out otherwise.  He also has MRSA (a severe, contagious, and highly difficult to treat staph infection)...so he is in rough shape! His kidneys are doing fine...so not everything is shutting down.

 
My mom will be traveling to Billings (a 4-hour round trip for her) to see him tomorrow. Please pray for healing for Dan, safe travel and peace of mind for my mom, and wisdom and guidance for the hospital staff.
 
In Christ, Kristi Morlock
