Do any of you have prayer requests??

Dear ones, would you say a prayer for my friend Mary. My family has a friend that used to have her own cake decorating business, and Mary is her daughter. She's married and has school-age kids -- I think either two or three. Before I knew her she had surgery and radiation for a brain tumor. Well, around Thanksgiving she began having episodes of dizziness. Her initial scans at that time appeared negative but the dizziness has not resolved. She had more tests that show the tumor has returned. Mary has been referred to a neuro-oncologist who's new to the area, plus there are new treatments that were not available at the time she had her surgery and radiation. I believe she has seen the oncologist for her first visit but I'm not sure. So if you could keep our Mary in your prayers, that would be grand.

Thank you,
Elyse

Quick update. Confirmatory test was positive; it's a brain tumor. She'll have her first appointment with the neuro-oncologist Wednesday.

countrywolf07, I hope things steadily improve with your granddad. Septic shock is very scary. Daisy and Delilah, how are you? Glacier, how are things with Mac?

More thoughts and prayers going out to everyone from me. It never ceases to amaze me when I see the power of PT prayer working.

Rachel, I'm so sorry your Granddad is sick. I know how worried you are. {{{{{HUGS}}}}}

Elyse, poor Mary. I'm so sorry. This has to be very scary for everyone involved. Thanks for asking. I'm doing okay and staying as positive as possible. I just keep looking forward to getting this thing over with. I know there is a light at the end of this tunnel.

I hope all is well with Mac and you and Stuart, Tamara.

My Uncle Elwood(Dad's brother) was taken to the hospital yesterday with a possible stroke.He could really use some prayers today.Will get a update from my Aunt later when Mom calls her.

Dear ones, I'm sorry to come to you again so soon. But I received some unexpected news this morning. We've had a wonderful, dynamic director of children's ministry at my church. However, she was diagnosed and treated for breast cancer and had been in experimental treatment for a couple months for ovarian cancer (which is known to develop in those who have had breast cancer). She died last night. This request has two parts. Thank God for all of the lives Vickie has touched during her work with the kids. I don't have kids but she has always been a key part of our family Christmas Eve service that I play for, so that's how I know her. At the end, for the closing prayer she always has the kids singing Happy Birthday to Jesus. Never a dry eye in the house. She's one of those people that it's a privilege just to know. But for her husband and kids, too- one daughter and one son and I believe they are both in college. Apparently the experimental treatment was not going as well as we had hoped. I'm sure she's rejoicing in heaven this morning. I can just picture her and St. Peter at the pearly gates -- he probably wasn't ready for all her energy

Thank you again,
Elyse
