Healing for a little one

Please pray for a friend of mine's little boy named Zeke Norris,  He is a 17 month old baby.

They just did surgery to correct tibial pseudoarthrosis. He was born with a bent tibia, then it broke, and would not heal. They put him in a cast for 3 months, then a soft cast to heal the skin.  Since the surgery, he's in a spica cast but he'll switch to a single cast in a month. They got three different opinions from 3 different hospitals and felt this was the best chance for his leg to ever heal. All specialists that they have spoken with have told them that they can do all this and he may still have to have that leg amputated.  Please pray for complete healing. 
Thanks!  Christina Grace

Also, Jan's neighbor, Richard Cole is at Stanford Hospital receiving chemotherapy for his leukemia, prayers of healing and comfort.

Comfort and Healing

Prayer requests from Jan Curler:

Jan's son-in-law Brian Jones will be tested at Medford Hospital, Oregon on Monday for a pacemaker.  If the #'s are under 35 he will not need one.  Pray for Brian to not be anxious and for him to call on the Lord in his time of fear.  (pray for the #'s to be under 35).

Prayers of peace and comfort for Jan's 76 year old neighbor, Richard Cole, who was diagnosed 2 months ago with terminal Leukemia.  He is now hospitalized with a severe infection - doctor's don't know what is causing it.  Richard's wife has Alzheimer's and is having difficulty with this situation.

Thanksgiving

On Wednesday, mom had any ECG and they found a small area on her mitral valve that could be an infection, blot clot, or small tumor.  She was not experiencing any symptoms of infection, so they put her on a strong blood thinner.  Yesterday she had a lower abdomen CAT Scan and there were no anomalies found.  This morning they did a ECG through her esophagus and they found that the spot had disappeared.  It was likely a blood clot that has been dissolved by the strong blood thinners.  They are going to switch her to Coumadin and she will likely need to be on that for a day before they will release her, so there is a chance that she could come home tomorrow sometime.  We still do not have a definitive answer as to what she experienced on Monday morning that started her trip to the hospital, it could have been related to her Parkinson's or it could have been a small stroke.  The MRI she had done while in the hospital indicated that she had had several small strokes in the past.  We would like to thank everyone for all their prayers and support this past week while mom has been in the hospital.

 

The Ellis family

Healing and Comfort

Please continue to pray for our friend Noah, 15 years old, who is suffering from a blood malfunction.  His body is not producing platelets.  Recently, through a special treatment, his platelets went to 230,000, which is normal.  Then tested this past Monday, they had drastically dropped to 90,000.  Today they have dropped again, this time to 50.  His family is really downcast to say the least.  He feels fine and has all through the past months the problem has been ongoing.  He has once again been restricted from all sports.

Please pray for wisdom for the doctors and show him and his whole family how to cope.

Cal. because she was too afraid to call the Dr.  She lives alone and didn't want to go to the hospital without me.  I took her to Kaiser ER, she is being treated by a wonderful Dr who has kept her for the night to give the medicine time to work and hopefully improve her condition.  Please pray for Joanne to find faith and trust in the Lord, that he is always by her side no matter what,  and that she is never really alone.   

Love in Jesus, Toni Troya

Healing and Encouragement

Prayers of healing and encouragement for Lynne Jackson (Calvary school parent).  She has been having health problems for a while and is on several different medications.  Doctors are unsure of what's causing her high blood pressure and weight loss.  Lynne is now on a medical leave from work and is also taking care of her elderly parents as well as being wife and mom.  May the Lord surround her with His loving arms of peace and grant wisdom to the doctors.

Travel mercies, healing, and thanksgiving

Just a quick note to let everyone know that Gil Quezada (my Father-in-law) passed away peacefully in his sleep last Wednesday (8/26/12) evening at 7:52 p.m.  His wife Pat is devastated, as are Daisy and Sophia.  Thank you for all your prayers.
Dian Smith

Prayers of healing for Rosalie Ellis.  She was taken to the Eden ER yesterday morning with seizure-like symptoms.  Annie found her at the sink tightly gripping the counter top and swaying her head back and forth not able to respond to questions, etc.  Annie & dad called 911 and they took her to Eden.  By the time the paramedics arrived she seemed to be over the worst of it and she was able to walk to the gurney with assistance from the paramedics.  They took x-rays, did a CAT scan, blood work, etc.  The CAT scan did not show anything unusual.  Today she will be having an MRI and an EEG.  We would ask for prayers that the doctors would be able to find the cause of what happened on Monday morning and also would be able to adjust her medications so that she will feel better once she is home. 

Thank you,  The Ellis family

 

Prayers of praise for  Gisela Binder…her eye appt went well, and she does not need cataract surgery.  The doctor said if she sees as well as she did during the office visit, that she should have no problem passing her upcoming driver's license appt.

Healing and Comfort

Please keep my little cousin Danille in your prayers...They found more spots on her lungs and this is the latest update. We just got a call from the Dr. today. He went over her CT scan more with the radiologist this week. It's not 2 spots it's 4, one of them is for sure tumor cancer in her lungs, the 3 other spots he's gonna watch. Mom and Dad are stressed and worried (of course). Please pray for them as well. 
Blessings and Thank You  Christina Grace

Comfort

Prayers of peace and comfort for a Calvary School family, the Delamater's, the childrens grandmother's sister passed away.

Healing

Please pray for complete healing for Cindy Schroer's knee.  She recently had surgery, which was not effective, and has now completed a series of shots to alleviate the continuing pain.  The shots have provided no relief and she is in a lot of pain.

Howard and Darlene Goldhammer

Comfort and release

Would you please pray for my beloved Gil Quezada (technically Father-in-law; more like a Father)who lays dying at Summit Hospital in Oakland. His beloved wife Pat (technically Mother-in-law; more like a Mother) has been loyally by his side, all while continuing to hold down a job providing the insurance needed by Gil at this time. They are truly the love of each others' lives, and have been together for 40 years. You can see it when they look in each others' eyes.

 

While Gil and Pat are not really known by the Church community here, the Calvary kids will likely remember balloons that appeared as if from nowhere in every classroom (and some events) over the last 9 years. These were the gifts given so cheerfully from the hands and hearts of Pat & Gil when health was not an issue.

 

Thank you so much in advance.
Dian Smith

Healing and relief

Please keep in prayer...Gretchen, a young mother with four children, who she home schools.  The family recently moved to Florida, and they are living in a Residence Inn (three rooms) while they wait to get in a house.  Dad is in the Coast Guard and very busy with a new assignment.  Gretchen fell & injured her leg and is in a cast from her thigh to her foot, she is confined to a wheelchair.  The grandmothers are alternating staying with the family to help. Please pray for full complete healing for Gretchen, that no surgery will be necessary.  Pray for the house to be available quickly as the apartment is very crowded.

 

Pray for Annabelle a 92 year old women who had a blood vessel break in her one good eye causing complete blindness. She had surgery Tuesday to try to repair the eye so she would again have a little sight. 

 

Pray for Larry a neighbor of Jason & Amy Goldhammer who has been diagnosed with cancer, which is spreading.  Pray for wisdom for the doctors and for full & complete healing.  Pray also that he would know Jesus as his Lord & Savior.

 

Pray for Michelle Geach, she is recovering from surgery and experiencing a lot of pain.  Pray for full & complete healing, for strength and for relief from the pain. 

 

Thanks

Thank you everyone who prayed for my dad, Les Coolbeth.

All his tubes have been removed and he has returned home.
He can walk with a walker (which he hates) short distances without labored breathing. One rib was removed and he is very uncomfortable but happy to be on the road to recovery.
Special thanks to all the ladies who made it possible for him to have a prayer quilt. He loves it!  Love in Jesus,

Healing and Recovery

Prayers of healing and comfort for Jennifer Bumgardner's fiance's grandpa who fell this morning and was treated by the EMT's who accidentally ripped his skin in the process of strapping him to gurney.

Also, for Jean Bumgardner's brother, Roy who is recovering from shoulder surgery. 

Tragedy

A church member called this in after hearing about it, very concerned for this couple.  Please keep them in your prayers....A family was vacationing in Yosemite when one of their sons was sitting on the rocks along the water an "off limits area"; he fell in and the other brother jumped in to save him, both boys drowned (ages 10 and 11).  Paramedics ended up having to treat both parents (not sure whether they jumped in to save boys or if both were in shock).  Not only are the parents devastated after losing their only two children, but now they are being billed for all of the expenses incurred during the rescue and all bills related since the boys were in an area that was "off limits". 

Prayers of safety for Jan Curler's daughter Lyn and husband Bryan... they live in Keno, Oregon and the fires are moving in closer.

Recovery

Please pray for my friend Donna who is recovering from a stroke. Asking for His strength and patience and a complete recovery  as she deals with right side issues with walking and eyesight and is having memory difficulties.  I appreciate your faithfulness in your prayer life.

Praise the Lord!  Noah, the 15-year old with the blood disorder, has truly experienced a miracle.  Last Friday he was hospitalized to receive a special  infusion treatment, and by the next morning his platelets were up to a normal, 130,000.   He was also allowed to resume his full schedule of activities.  He had to be the happiest guy on the soccer field--with his excited family on the sidelines.

Healing

Noah, our 15-year old friend, who has been treated for a blood condition with the potential to cause non-stop bleeding will have an infusion treatment on Friday.  This will require an overnight stay in the hospital.  Our prayer request is that the treatment be successful.  His body is not producing the necessary platelets to stop bleeding and his activities have been limited for several months as other treatments have not been successful.

Healing, Comfort, Concern

Dennis is the coworker we prayed for last year when he was going through some tough times.  He asked that we pray for a friend of his.  Dave Schultz….  See below.

My friends name is Joannie and she has been diagnosed for the 4^th time with Lymphoma. If your church congregation could ask God to give her some help and be with her, I know it will help. The power of prayer is so strong and a direct link to Gods ear.

Thank you so much!  
Dennis

 

Dean Balk is having more trouble standing for transfers and fell Monday.  We brought him to see Dr. Jokerst and she ran a battery of tests on him. Nothing looked terribly wrong, but he's very tired and weak.  The doctor suggested it might be time to start hospice.  So we met with a hospice intake person and a nurse and signed him up. He'll be getting more care from the hospice staff, which is good for him. Please spread the word and keep him in your prayers.

Thanksgiving and comfort

Update on Melody, she came home from the hospital on Monday. Other than a headache, she sounds great. Jose' will be at home to take care of her this week she, is in good hands! Please continue Prayers for Melody and the family as she continues to recuperate. God is so great in answering our Prayers!
Praise the Lord, Marlene Mueller

 

Please pray for Liz Mullins, she is a close family friend of my cousin Maggie.  Last night Liz's mother committed suicide. When I have more information I will pass it along. 

Thanks.  Van Deckert

 

Please continue to pray for my dad, Lester Coolbeth. His one lung had an infection and was full of liquid and he could not breathe. Thankfully the biopsies on the liquid were negative for cancer. Unfortunately the lung did not re-inflate after being drained, so he only has one lung now. Please pray that both his lungs will heal. He made it home safely with his wife, driving their RV from Anchorage, Alaska back to their home in Ocala, Florida. He went to the lung specialist this afternoon and was directly admitted back into the hospital. He still has some pockets of infection on and around his lung, so they will be doing surgery on him but I don't know when. They will go in on his side and clean the area and scrape the lung to remove these pockets of infection. The doctor said this was the main priority, but he does have some other tests plus an echocardiogram scheduled. Please pray for my dad to be patient, as he can't do much at all without feeling out of breath. He is a strong man who has to be busy all the time. It's hard for me to be so far away from him. I love him very, very much.

Love in Jesus,  Cindy Strom

Comfort at passing

Dave

Thanksgiving and hope

Thank you all so much for your Prayers, Melody came through surgery fine. Jose' was just going into recovery to see her! I will send updates.

Blessings,

Marlene Mueller

Thanks and Blessings

"I read the last e-prayer for Melody and I thought I should explain the statement on the visiting.... It's not that Melody doesn't want visitors, it's only that she is going to be there 2 to 4 days to recover unless there are complications and that's why we are praying for  her surgery to go well as God has planned it. My wife loves and needs all the people of God to know what's going on with her health and the great need of prayer. I want to thank the family of God at Calvary for all their prayers and help we have received.---- My wife is having a brain tumor removed on the right side of her brain and this is her 2nd time with brain surgery. This tumor has been treated with targeting radiation and with all the treatments she has had, her brain has swollen to the point of shifting over to the other half of her brain which causes her not to function in a normal way. I hope this will bring us (Gods people) to pray more to the specifics in need of prayer. we love you in Christ and we will keep you informed of the outcome."

Thank you in Jesus name,
Jose'

Thanks to all friends and family praying for Jacob. He LOVES his prayer quilt and immediately on bringing it home to him on Sunday he wrapped himself up in it and seemed so content to be covered in prayer! He's doing much better! He still feels  weak and nauseated but was able to fully participate in our San Diego vacation trip which was alot of walking in the heat, something he would not have been able to do a month ago, and such a blessing to see him be able to enjoy the family time. His blood test was back to normal as far as the lymphocytes/neutrophils ratio, but his WBC were still a bit low. Overall we will chalk this up to an unknown virus, and continue to pray that he continues to improve in these last weeks of summer so that he can get back to normal by the time school starts again. He's been working really hard on all the make-up work from the last quarter of school he missed. I cant thank you enough for all your prayers and support!

Healing and Comfort

Prayers of healing for Adolph Stafne, he is being taken to Eden Hospital.  Apparently he fell last night and was just found a little while ago.

X-ray on my dad's lung did not turn out as we had hoped. There doesn't seem to be much change. Several things are a concern, the lung is still white, the pocket of air, and something about the shape of the outside of the lung is abnormal. And of course, didn't want to scare us, but there is a possibility of cancer. He and his wife will be headed home to Florida tomorrow. Please keep him in your prayers.

A couple of months ago we asked for prayers for Noah, a 15-yr. old who was diagnosed with a blood problem.  His body is not producing blood platelets and he could bleed uncontrollably from even a minor scratch.  The platelet count was up a small amount for one week only and has now plunged back to no production whatsoever.  Please pray for healing, wisdom for the doctors and strength for Noah and his family to get through this difficult ordeal.

Howard and Darlene

Updates

Dear friends,

I'm sorry I have not updated sooner on Jacobs status. The best we can figure now is that Jacob has been fighting off a virus. The Addison's test was negative, but the Endocrinologist called and said his Vitamin D is very low. Vitamin D has an effect on your immune system which would make it harder for him to fight off viruses. He's also had changes in his blood work indicating a viral cause.  He's been tested for Mono a couple of times, the Dr can't completely rule it out based on his blood work, but  as long as he gets better, its not critical as there is not really any treatment other than rest, which he's been doing.  He's started on 50,000 IU once a week for 8 weeks for the Vit D Deficiency. He seems to be improving. (even before the Vit D) He's gained back 5  lbs, and his appetite is improving significantly. He's still nauseous, but to a lesser degree, and the fatigue is still a major problem. Hopefully this will improve with more weight gain and Vit. D supplements. Thanks to all for your prayers and support, it means the world to all of us! 

Blessings,Annie Ellis

Prayers of Praise and thanksgiving... Ron Borges is doing well and is to be discharged today.

My Marvin went for his 6 mo MRI last week, which tracks the remnant tumor in his head from his 2009 surgery.

Please keep him in your prayers that the tumor will continue to die.  Blessings, Toni Troya

I was able to deliver Mr. Pittman's quilt today. He and his wife were very touched and were very appreciative. He actually said it took his breath away and even got a little teary eyed...we had a nice visit. What a wonderful couple.

His wife was so excited that he now has a special quilt to take with him to treatments...it even has his name on it so it wont get lost :) Thank you for allowing me to share this gift with him. I did take a picture on my phone, so I will try and get that to you soon.

Joyce Glock

Strength and Healing

Update on Jacob Ellis....He has been seen by an Endocrinologist who also feels Jacobs symptoms are suggestive of Addisons Disease or another type of Adrenal Insufficiency. He's having another test for that on Monday morning. He's seeing a Pediatric Hematologist who is testing a number of different things as well, including evaluating a peripheral blood smear himself. 

He still remains extremely weak and tired, nauseated and dizzy, and heart rate elevates too much when standing and laying down.  Please pray that these symptoms disappear soon and we find answers and good treatments.  He has not felt well since his Appendectomy surgery on April 2nd (two months ago) At this point the doctors feel it is very unlikely that these symptoms are related to any after effects of the surgery.

Thanks for your prayers and support,

Annie Ellis

Prayer request from friend of Gina Gerome:  Please pray for my Dad as he just found out he has stage 4 colon cancer, its also in his liver and lungs.  He is the rock of the family and this news is devastating. - not sure how much time is left.  He is 70 years Old.

Prayers of healing for Michelle Geach who will be having surgery possibly next week, prayers for a successful surgery with no complications and complete healing.

Also, for Matthew Geach, Joel and Michelle's son- he recently had another seizure (first one in 2 and 1/2 years) Tests are being run to see what caused the seizure.

Doctors' Wisdom and Healing

Please add Jacob to your prayers...He's been sick with weakness, dizziness, nausea and weight loss for the past month. He has only been back to school a few days since the Appendectomy on April 9th. We have ruled out Mono, parasites, Celiac Disease and a few others. He is now being tested for Addisons Disease, a rare disease affecting the Adrenal glands and the hormones they produce. One of Jacobs teachers actually mentioned that he had Addisons and Jacobs symptoms are similar to his before he was diagnosed and treated. 

 

Please pray that we can find the cause for these symptoms quickly, or that they just go away for good!

Its like searching for a needle in a hay stack as these symptoms could have so many different causes. We just need to eliminate them one by one in order to find the correct diagnosis.  Jacob had the blood screening test for Addisons this morning and they should be back in about a week, hopefully sooner. 

 

Thanks for the prayers, 

Annie Ellis

Moving, Peace, and Thanksgiving

In case no one else heard this from Louise Woodard, I thought I would let you know.  Louise wrote me on April 3 that she was just leaving a month of rehab for a broken left hip and injured  left shoulder from a fall on March 1st.

 

She was moving on April 6, she hopes for the last time, to a senior citizens home.  Louise says it is nice and light with windows all around with a balcony deck.  Her address there is:

 

Louise Woodard

Gold Quarta Inn, Rm. 201

Please pray for freedom from pain and His peace in adjusting to her new home.  

 

Also, a prayer of praise and thanksgiving as our son John and one of those he supervises have been offered permanent positions as of June 1 with Oracle, the company that bought Taleo. (They do not know at this time how many employees have been offered positions.)

Finally, a prayer of praise and thanksgiving as my cardiac stress test results were normal.

Thank you all for your prayers. 

Love in Jesus, Audrey Ohanesian
