I need to put my husband Craig on the prayer list. He has an infection in his leg, which normally wouldn’t be an urgent thing. However, he also has severe neuropathy, diabetic and goes septic pretty quickly. He has an esophagus issue that causes the lining in his throat to bleed and then starts vomiting up blood. This will then cause seizures and his blood pressure drops along with his glucose numbers. They’ve gone as low as 32 and they are usually around 120. We go through this every 6-8 months and I’m worried that they will eventually want to amputate his leg. He’s alright with that but this is always so scary because of how quickly he can go critical. Thank you for your prayers.

High Noon……no not the Gunfight at the OK corral!! I’m having my surgery Friday noon the 16th @ Good Shepherd Medical Plaza. Prayerfully this is the solution. I feel the comfort of yours prayers  Love y’all Gloria Williams

Many of you will remember praying for Peare Frazier.  Please pray for him.  This is an update from his mother:  Today was much anticipated and unfortunately, we did not receive good news at the doctor with my son. His AVM has more than doubled in size. The lump on his neck is suspected to be Mono (a virus which causes inflamed lymph nodes), although only one is bulging, the inflammation extends down on both sides of the neck. The lump on his neck has been there for at least a year (which is atypical for mono).  He is being referred to an infectious disease specialist here in Dallas (appointment pending). As for his AVM (Arteriovenous Malformation), in his leg, his doctor said he was going to have to consult with an outside specialist for next steps. We left today optimistic on the outside, but low key defeated on the inside. He’s already had multiple surgeries to shrink it in the past 2 years with no luck. They will call next week to schedule an appointment with the infectious disease doctor. Follow up for his leg is TBD, after extended consultation. I will continue to keep you updated on any upcoming appointments.—

04/07/23
Please continue to pray for Ray and Donna Cook.  They met with the doctor yesterday and he went over the CT scan.  He was shocked at the size of Ray’s  thyroid and it has grown into his chest area.  He was surprised that Ray was not experiencing problems with breathing.  He feels he needs to consult with a cardiologist to be with him during surgery if he should need him.   Now surgery will have to be rescheduled when the cardiologist can be there.  We are praying it might happen sooner.  We are hoping to have some news next week.  Continue to pray for wisdom for the doctors, surgery scheduled soon and peace for us as we wait. It has been a long process but confident we are with the right doctor.  We are thankful for all the prayers and know God is with us.
