Prayer Requests

Judy - was admitted to the hospital. She has severe osteoporosis and had Kyphoplasty the end of last month on a couple of compression fractures in her spine. She never fully recovered or had any relief from that procedure and has been pretty much bed-ridden for the two weeks following. She was dehydrated, nauseated and in pain on admission (for the record..she sat in a wheelchair for 6.5 hours in the ER lobby/waiting room before even being seen). After a couple of days, an MRI showed she had three new compression fractures, so she had the Kyphoplasty done again this past Friday. While they were in there, they did a bone marrow biopsy because one of her lab values showed protein in her blood which could be an indicator of myeloma (myeloma causes osteoprosis). Her family received a couple of good reports over the weekend..her skull fractures were clean and there is no protein in her urine. Yesterday, they were told by a hemotologist/oncologist that her biopsy does show myeloma.

Judy's daughter, Terri, & family - This has been such a long week and everyone is just emotionally and physically drained. Please pray for continued comfort and peace during this difficult time!!!

Billy K - problems with feet. He has 1 toe that is in bad shape. He is taking antibiotics.

Kayla R - female problems, had surgery Thursday morning. Pray for a speedy and complete recovery.

Christy M and John H - remember them as they are approaching their wedding date. Everything to go smooth and without any fear!

"MamaSmurf" - battling cancer. Has abruptly stopped blogging (which is not like her!) and friends are worried about her. Please pray for her health and the health of her family!

Thanks for praying!!! :-)
