I wanted to ask for prayer as I've been sick since Friday. I went to the dr. today and they sent me to Edmond Regional for more testing. They thought I was having a gall bladder attack, but x-rays didn't show that. They released me with a diagnoisis of intense stomach flu. Thanks for your prayers. Paula Bays
From Kerri Matthews: Update: Thank you for your prayers. Our nephew (April's baby, Jeff's sister) is doing better. He is being kept in the hospital for test to rule out the dangerous stuff.
My nephew Anthony Owens is being admitted this morning at Children's Hospital. He is approx. 6 weeks old and started running a fever yesterday. They took him to the ER last night was told it was an ear infection and was prescribed the typical meds. They took him to his Dr. this morning, they were told more test should have been done last night and it's possibly a bacterial infection. Please pray for healing and peace for my brother -in-law and sister-in-law and the rest of the family.
From Beth Anne Brown: 24Mar: Please pray for my close friends, Jennifer and Kyra, whose husband/father died unexpectedly yesterday. Funeral is Friday at 2 pm.
From Vickie Delaney : Update 18Mar: Candace Wheeler-Morris is a 24 yr old young lady, that I've known every since she was 4 yrs. old. She has a brain tumor that is inoperable at this time. Candace is having 3-6 seizures a day, and her heart rate is extremely high and her respirations are extremely low. She is in critical condition at OU Medical Center. Please pray for a miracle. Vickie We have prayed for Vickie's friend, Candace. She has been taken to OU Medical Center with low blood count and she is not doing well. Vickie asked for prayer for Candace and her family.
Carolyn Jones: daughter of Juanita Weatherford...she had surgery recently to fix scar tissue in her throat from acid reflux. She needs prayer for recovery.
From ilene Martzen: Update 17Feb: My brother, Ernie is doing a bit better but are still unresolved issues. He did go back to work which is good. Would appreciate continued prayers for a bit longer. ilene
My brother, Ernie, is suffering from severe depression. Yes, he has accepted Jesus as his Savior. He confided to a family member that he is planning to commit suicide. I ask that you pray Psalm 23, agree that he will be able to receive the mind of Jesus, and the peace and comfort of the Holy Ghost. ilene Martzen
From Pam Albright: Update 11Mar: Darci Update: Darci is coming home from Dallas today. Please continue to pray as she continues her recovery at home.
Mary Update: I just heard from Mary B and the PET scan results showed no change in the cancer. She was having another test today, cat scan I think, and waiting on radiology to see about the radiation treatment. She also has the double chemo today that takes three hours. She sounded okay but you could hear the disappointment in her voice. Please keep her in your prayers.
I have 2 co-workers that are getting ready to start treatment for cancer. Darci Beaver is 34 years old and is divorced with two sons ages 6 & 8. This is her second time through this, but she is going to have to go to Dallas for a least a month to have a stem cell transplant. She could possibly be off work for 3 - 6 months. She started chemo a few weeks ago and has tried to continue to work, but you can see it is very hard on her. Her ex-mother-in-law use to keep the boys, but she is suffering from some health issues, so the boys have had to return to daycare. Besides being hard on her body, this is going to be very hard on her financially.
Mary Bovino is older and a leukemia surviver. She found out the day after Christmas that she has lung cancer. She goes to the doctor today to find out when her treatments will begin. Some of the doctors did not give her long to live and others think it is treatable. She does not think she is going to die. She says she feels too good and doesn't think God is finished with her here. However, if it does worsen she says she is ready to go, because she has lost 3 of her 4 children and is ready to join them. We are hoping that Mary will be able to continue to work, because she does not have any disability and after missing so much work, she would lose her health care benefits.
Please pray for both of these ladies. They both said they could not go through this without God and the power of prayer. Thank you, Pam Albright
