Lord as we saw the tears of a mother whose son had been captured by the enemy, our hearts broke for her as she longed to have her son safe from the hands of the enemy. Lord we feel so saddened for those who have heard that their loved ones have been captured or killed by the enemy, we cry out to you Lord to bring peace soon.

Heavenly Father I lift up Alexis to you in prayer. Her pediatrician called yesterday and told her family that something was found on her newborn screen test. There is a suspicion of cystic fibrosis. The doctor set up an appointment to see her on Tuesday, April 1st. at 9:30 at The Children's Hospital. The amount of chloride in her sweat will be measured which will take about an hour and a half to complete. The results will be known the same day. The pediatrician stated that there are a lot of false positives with the initial blood test. He also stated that if this disease is not in their family then it is probably a false positive. Lord I ask that you wrap this precious baby in your arms of love. I ask that you comfort her and keep her calm as the test is being done. I come before your Heavenly Throne and I ask that you give comfort to her loved ones as they await the results. I ask that you remove any fear that they may have and replace it with calmness and peace in knowing that you are there with them. I ask that you draw them close to you. I ask that a GOOD REPORT be given, test negative for Cystic Fibrosis. I ask that you place a hedge of protection around this little one and keep her safe. I pray that she will grow up to know the love of Jesus and that she accepts Him as her Lord and Savior. I ask in the name of Jesus. Amen.
Update 4/1/03
Hi Everyone! This is to let you all know that Alexis is OK, and to thank all of you for your e-mail's, phone calls and especially prayers!! It has been a stressful week in anticipation of the results....but we are happy to report our little angel is fine......but she is considered a carrier of CF.....which basically doesn't mean anything until she has children of her own...it will not make her sick, and it's not contagious...it's a chromosomal defect on one of her chromosomes...if it were on two, then she would have CF. This also means that either Ray or myself is also a carrier....they said that one in twenty-five people of Northern European descent are carrier's and we just don't know it. NY State just added the test for CF to their newborn screen in Oct of 2002.....so I'm sure plenty of people and their babies are carriers, they just don't know it. So like I said either Ray or myself is definitely a carrier, and if we both are, then we are very lucky that she doesn't have CF, since with two people being carriers, there is a 25% chance the baby will have CF.......we are getting DNA tested since we plan on having another baby...and if we are both carriers, then we will have to seriously think about weather or not we should have another baby. As for Alexis, it's good for her to know so when she decides to get married, her future husband will have to be tested if he happened to be born before Oct 2002, and doesn't already know. All this genetic stuff is kinda confusing! She was such a good girl for her test and thank God we were able to find out before we left the hospital!!! So thanks again for all your support, we appreciate it!!!
Love Tracy, Ray & Alexis Rae :)
Update 4/2/03
Hi Charlotte!....Alexis is as sweet as ever!! She truly is an angel sent from God and we are so blessed!!! She is doing good, becoming more alert everyday, she is so much fun! Her only problem is colic...sometimes the poor little baby can literally cry most of the day..I give her the drops, they don't help...so we just hold her and try to comfort her, and pray that God will take her pain away, she is so helpless and doesn't understand....and it breaks my heart to see her screaming in pain. Thanks again to all who prayed for Alexis. I cant tell you how much it means and how much I appreciate them!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love Tracy, Ray and Alexis Rae

Update 6/16/03
Hi Charlotte, Phil and Patty returned safely from Russia with their two adopted boys about two months ago. The boys are doing great! : ) I don't remember the date when they got here but I guess it's been about two months now, maybe a bit longer. They are learning English day by day and are so sweet and loving! They just manage to steal your heart! : ) Their names are Alex and Charlie. Alex is four and Charlie is five, however, due to being malnourished and their former living conditions, Charlie is way smaller than any five yr. old, in fact he is a lot smaller than Alex! The last I heard Charlie was wearing clothes that would fit a two yr. old! But they are both doing well, health wise, Praise The Lord! They are a blessing! Thank you to all the prayer warriors who lifted this family up to the Lord in prayer. Please continue to pray for them.
God bless! Love, Jenn

Prayer Partners: Thank you all for your special prayers for Jesse. His results came back normal thus far and we are believing for a complete healing...he has one leg fatter than the other which was a sign of this cancerous tumor HOWEVER, God has other plans and they cannot and will not find anything that could harm Him we believe this by faith in God Almighty's word. I RECEIVED THE FOLLOWING FROM HIS MOM TODAY! BLESS YOU ALL AND KEEP PRAYING! Good News!!! The nurse just called with the ultrasound results, looks normal!! It showed no mass on the kidneys. The Dr. is waiting on the blood and urine results (can take one to two weeks) and if they come back normal they will start looking at what else could cause his left leg to be smaller. If the results come back abnormal, they will send Jesse to Children's Hospital in Little Rock and sedate him for a CT Scan of his kidneys, because if there were to be a mass on his kidney, it is too small to find with the ultrasound. I believe that he is and will be fine and his leg will start growing normally and he is healed by the Power and the Word of God, Jesus Blood was shed for Jesse and by His stripes Jesse is healed!!!! I am feeling a lot better now. I feel like the weight of the world has been lifted off my shoulders. Thanks for all your prayers, keep praying though because we are still waiting on the blood and urine tests. Love you lots, Dana

I come before your Heavenly Throne on Carl's behalf, believing that through you all things are possible and I ask for complete healing. I ask that you comfort him as he awaits the final outcome.

Update 3/17/2003
As you all know I wrote requesting prayer for my only living sibling, his name is Carl age 64. To refresh you all, Carl had a lump to come up on his neck with (NO INSURANCE) and NO money to pay Drs., office visits, meds. etc. He waited for three months until it was unbearable due to the rapid growth before calling a Dr. Anyway to make a long story short, he has gone through a lot of processes since then. He went in last week for measuring and scans. They are going with radiation treatments five days' weekly. If I remember correctly for 42 weeks, just don't hold me to the 42 wks. He was so in pain from that he could barely bare it and the treatment lasted for 45 min. We are asking for your prayers again, he starts his radiation treatments this coming Wed. 3/19 Pray please that this radiation will not effect any area that it should not, pray that his headaches will cease and this tumor will respond fast to treatment and completely disintegrate immediately in Jesus name.... Please claim (NO SIDE EFFECTS) from the treatments in JESUS name. I know that God's truth out weighs the ugly facts Please claim that the attending professionals will be guided by the LORD, in JESUS name God bless your obedience not only to my call but to GOD. Your prayer will be acknowledged, God collects them all And to GOD be the glory forever. Blessings abundantly, Brenda
Update 5/23/2003
As of now Carl has weakened and he is not able to drive himself to the hospital for treatments...Please keep claiming the victory over his healing in JESUS name... Thanks and blessings

Update 3/8/03
Dear Charlotte, Thanks for your prayers for my breast problem. The Lord made an opening for me to get into the Dr. yesterday. I was there from 11:00 am to about 1:00 PM, took a hurried lunch at Burger King and got over to St. Joseph's for additional mammograms (ouch) and ultrasounds and got home from there at 6:00 PM. It seems incredible that the whole day could go like that. I liked the new doctor, her bedside manner was good and her staff was nice also. She did find a lump and given it comes with such irregularly shaped calcium clusters there is a 50-50 chance of it being cancer at this point. Monday she should have the results of the x-rays. Please keep me in prayer because the lump does have to come out. Enjoy the 'Son' today; He's always shining on us. God Bless Fran
Update 3/15/03
I spoke with Fran yesterday, the doctor feels that the lump in her breast is cancerous. She is facing a possible partial mastectomy Thursday, March 20th. Please keep her in prayer for complete healing and due to the fact that she has asthma, pray that she will do well with the anesthesia. She request prayer for her husband Brian that the Lord will comfort him through her surgery. They are both Christians. Thank you for your prayers. In Christ Love Charlotte
Update 4/21/03
Fran had surgery as scheduled in March, it was malignant and they didn't get it all. She had more surgery this past Thursday, which showed cancer in the lymph nodes as well. She had two layers of nodes removed. Her report will be back on Wednesday as to another biopsy. The doctor recommends radiation and chemotherapy treatments. I spoke with her today, she is holding up OK, she ask that you pray for her to be filled with the joy of the Lord as she goes through this difficult time. Please continue in prayer for our sister in Christ to be healed.
Thank you, In Christ Love Charlotte
Update 4/23/03
Dear Charlotte, There was more news this morning. My drain needs to stay in until Friday, then no matter what it has to come out or it will become part of the problem. Pray that the drain can be removed or else they have to start sticking needles in the arm which is not a good thing to happen for my arm, that is one of the no - no's. Also, another cancerous tumor was cut out that was 1.2 by 1.5 centimeters and two of the sentinel lymph nodes had cancer in them and one of the regular lymph nodes. It appears that all the cancer is out! In two weeks they want to start me on Chemo. I seem to have a little more energy today than yesterday. Yesterday I was tired and dragged-out all day. Perhaps the antibiotic is attributing to that. It takes less energy right now to type all this than to talk. God Bless Love, Fran
Update 6/12/03
I spoke with Fran the other day. She has went through two chemo treatments, so far everything is going OK. God has really helped her through everything and she has a lot of faith. Please continue in prayer for her. Thank you and may God Bless you all. In Christ Love Charlotte

Heavenly Father I lift up Our Military to you in prayer. Lord it seems that we are drawing closer to having war with Iraq and war is a very frightening thing, especially when loved ones are deployed and their families don't know if they will return home or not. Even though right now war seems inevitable, we know that through you all things can change. Lord I come before your Heavenly Throne on behalf of our nation, believing that through you all things are possible and I ask that a peaceful solution be agreed upon. I ask that you give wisdom and guidance to President Bush and all who are involved concerning the situation with Iraq. I ask that you give them patience as not to move to fast with their decisions but to be slow in moving toward this war because once it begins there will be no turning back. If an agreement for peace cannot be reached then I ask that you remove Saddam Hussein from power. I ask that you place a hedge of protection around our military and keep them safe from the enemy. I ask that you draw each one close to you. I ask that you comfort their families during this difficult time. I ask that you return them safely home. I pray Lord that your mighty hand of power will reach down and put a stop on this war. I ask in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Update 5/22/2003
Dear Charlotte, Uncle Branch, WB is amazing, the Doctors told him he would have to go through three weeks of rehab and he went home the next day. Unfortunately his grandson, Chet age 30, married only fourteen months died in his sleep three days after Uncle Branch’s surgery. We all flew to Seattle for the funeral but didn't tell Branch until three weeks later upon the advice of the Doctors. Branch has lived the Christian life, he is a servant not a talker. He is eighty-four and it looks like he will have to go into a nursing home, not because of his health but his wife has the dreaded Alzheimer's disease. God Bless you and thanks for asking, I should post praise reports and as soon as my health returns to normal I will make every effort to add praise reports on regular basis. Love in the name of Jesus the Christ, Ron

Heavenly Father I lift up Jesica Santillan to you in prayer. She is from a small town located near Guadalajara, Mexico. She was in need of a heart and lung transplant because a heart deformity kept her lungs from getting oxygen into her blood. Doctors said she would have died within six months without it. Jesica, who has type O positive blood, was given a heart and lungs from a donor with type A blood in a transplant which took place on February 7th at Duke University Hospital. Her condition steadily deteriorated as her body rejected the new organs. A second set of organs was located late Wednesday and transplanted into her in a four-hour operation Thursday morning. Her new heart was beating on its own afterward and she was still breathing with the help of a ventilator. She suffered kidney damage and may have brain damage or paralysis from the machines used to keep her alive in the two weeks after the first transplant. The fact that a new set of compatible organs became available as Jesica neared death was an amazingly good thing, considering the fact that eighty percent of people awaiting transplants die before organs can be found. Lord I ask that you wrap Jesica in your precious arms of love. I ask that you cover her with your healing power from above. I ask that you remove any pain and discomfort that she may be having. I come before your Heavenly Throne on her behalf, believing that through you all things are possible and I ask that you bring her through, free from complications, completely healed. I ask that she be a testimony to the doctors, medical staff, family , friends and strangers of your healing power and of the power of prayer. I ask that all praise, glory and honor be given unto you. I ask that you give comfort to her loved ones as they await the outcome. I ask that a GOOD REPORT be given. I ask for a speedy recovery. I ask in the name of Jesus Amen.
Update 2/21/03
Jesica has severe and irreversible brain injury, hospital officials said today. Doctors discovered early today, a day after the second transplant operation, that her brain had swelled and was bleeding.

Thank you, In Christ Love Charlotte
