Prayers of praise for Jan Curler's son-in-law, Brian.  His testing went well and his numbers were below 35 so NO pacemaker was needed. 

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

Updates:

Rosalie Ellis is still in the hospital, doctors are still running tests.  Continued prayers of healing and wisdom for the doctors.

Dean Balk is about the same.  He's hard to communicate with because he's not wearing his hearing aids.  Prayers for peace and comfort.

Healing and Calmness

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.

Howard and Darlene Goldhammer

 

 

Please pray for healing and calmness for my neighbor, Joanne Goodwin, who has been diagnosed with horrible vertigo.  She spent all day Wed. at her home dizzy, nauseous and vomiting for HOURS, waiting for me to return home from my trip to So. 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

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
