 had previously asked for prayer for Cici Temple, the wife of a missionary friend. A month ago she suffered a ruptured brain aneurysm.
Cici continues to slowly recover, and is moving to a rehab center for physical and speech therapy. She suffered damage to her vocal cords when intubated, and thus far has been unable to pass the swallow test, so a feeding tube was surgically implanted. All in all, by God’s grace, she is doing pretty well.  Being in ministry, the Temple’s do not have traditional health insurance, per se. Their medical bills are, and will be, astronomical. Appreciate prayer for her continued recovery which may take up to a year, and for help with the medical bills. Thanks! Greg Stewart

Thank you for praying for my niece, Kodi. She FINALLY got out of the ICU today and is in a step-down room. Her numbers are moving in the right direction, just slowly. It’s possible that both kidney stones have passed. They couldn’t see the lodged one in the ultrasound yesterday. She is still fighting some infection and a lot of soreness, but she was able to get up a couple of times. Her numbers were septic, according to blood pressure being so low and lactic acid being so high, but those have leveled off. Her white blood cell count is very high, so that is still concerning! She was supposed to be moving back into SFA this week, but is having to delay u til she is able to be released. Thank you for the continued prayers. ~Christy Mayfield

UPDATE: Tina is still fighting. There were some concerns with her EEG, but we are waiting on her MRI which is scheduled for Wednesday to know more. I am posting to ask my family and friends to pray for my mother-in-law and my family. Yesterday morning my MIL was admitted to the ICU after being found unresponsive in the wee hours of the morning. At some point between the 911 call and her arrival at the hospital, her heart stopped and CPR was performed. Once in the hospital it was discovered that she had some internal bleeding and broken ribs.  Knowing the broken ribs were from CPR and assuming the internal bleeding was as well, they decided to do an EEG. I believe God intervened because the Drs became so concerned about the amount of internal bleeding that they forwent the EEG in favor of a CT scan of her abdomen. This led to the discovery that surgery was needed immediately. During surgery, it was discovered that Tina had a fatty mass somewhere on her digestion system (I am unclear as to the exact location). This is what led to the extensive bleeding and likely contributed to her cardiac arrest. It was removed and sent to pathology. They are keeping her open because they also discovered her blood was not clotting. This has greatly improved since yesterday evening and we pray that continues. The goal is to be able to close her back up tomorrow evening. Please pray with us that Tina keeps fighting and that her EEG comes back with positive news. The Drs didn’t think she would make it through surgery but God saw fit to sustain her and keep her with us. We are praying that her blood continues to clot so the bleeding completely stops. We are praying that the Tina we know and love comes back to us. We are praying that whatever happens next, God’s will be done and His name will be glorified.  Thank you for praying with us!

His drain is still producing blood but they are saying it is old blood so that is ok. He is still in a lot of pain in his upper belly. He’s eating and drinking well and using the bathroom on his own. Continued prayers for Chris. Thank you all so much

RE:  Chris Kennedy 
Update: Per Ms. Melissa

• Surgeon just came in, it is blood. Blood is bad if it’s continually filling up. He is getting a second iv and heading straight to ct scan. They need to see if it’s active bleeding. If it is he will have a surgery with an interventional radiologist asap. That is why he is in so much pain.
