  Update 7/16/01
Dear Charlotte, Tyler continues to battle the virus which came with the heart. His white blood cell count is very low. On top of this the results of his recent biopsy of the heart (they do this every Tues.) showed he is in rejection once again.  He is also depressed with having to deal with the vast amount of drugs he must take, and the pain he endures with this virus (it effects his stomach with nausea and pain).  So if you can please continue your prayers for him and his parents it would be greatly appreciated. Yours in Christ, his aunt Kerry
Update 10/19/01
Dear Charlotte, Tyler Warren has made it to his ten month transplant anniversary.  He continues to have problems fighting the virus that came with the heart and several bouts with rejection.  The heart itself is pretty weak now with damage from the rejections.  He attempted to return to high school, but felt ill so had to drop out once again.  His parents are in the process of setting up a distance learning program so he may work at home toward graduation next June.  The family has suffered other set backs as well with Gil (father) being let go from his job due to down sizing, he has since gotten another job but is starting from the bottom once again. Tyler's mother suffers from depression (gee I wonder why?) and has also been diagnosed as a multiple personality.  So we continue to pray for all of them.  We, the rest of the family, wish we could help them in some way and take away the pain, hurt, distress, depression, worries, and financial problems (medications for Tyler run over $300 a week), but we can't.  Please have your prayer warriors continue to pray as Tyler's family does not have much faith in the Lord and pray that someone will come into their lives to lead them to the Lord.  Thank you for your interest and most importantly your prayers, Yours in Christ, Kerry
Update 2/8
Tyler Warren continues to have major rejection issues with this heart. He has some wonderful doctors who are very concerned and are in constant contact. He is home and still receiving drugs through IV's by his mother. The other major problem in this family's life is that Tyler's father was let go from his job and is having great difficulty finding employment elsewhere. With the depressed economy there is so much downsizing that there really is not a lot of options for males over the age of fifty.  Because of this Tyler's father is depressed and feeling like a failure and there is friction in the marriage as his mother feels the father isn't doing enough.  Meanwhile the health insurance will run out the end of this month. So that is the update, continuing problems of health and employment for this family. Please continue to pray that the Lord might lighten their load and give them some relief financially. Thanks yours in Christ,  Kerry
Update 4/22/02

Tuesday the 23rd Tyler will be getting biopsy # 25.  We go in around 6:00 AM and the biopsy will be at 8:00 AM.  Tyler is not thrilled but they have finally come up with a mixture for sedating him. Valium and Benedryl.  He has gotten tired of hearing them discuss his heart condition while in the cath lab and this has seemed to help. Although we probably will not get Doctor Pitlick, who we trust and actually enjoy, since he is retiring. There is I heard, a new doctor on the scene. He is from Boston Children's. He is apparently a pro in the cath lab. Hard to change over to someone else, but we will adapt. Tyler has again changed his mind about moving south to Santa Barbara for junior college. He is now staying local. He feels too, having at least a year of no problems with his heart would be a better time to leave. I agree with him 100%.  Well, also for Tyler we will be back at Stanford on the 24th because he is having a full CT scan to block out where the radiation treatment he will be receiving in the weeks to follow. He will have radiation three to four times a week for five to six weeks. It should really wipe him out. I worry but the doctors want to kill his t-cells and help him from going into a major rejection like he did in January, where we actually almost lost him. We are trying to follow all the recommendations. I have researched it and I think we will be OK.  I have talked to a neurologist and geneticist and they don't see any adverse reactions to his muscle disease. Although they also said they have no data that radiation had even been done to a kid with muscular dystrophy. So we hope all goes well.  The Warrens will keep everyone updated as we know more. Thanks for caring. Donna and all-

Hi Charlotte, I have not talked to Barry since he had his surgery.  He did have 60% of his liver removed, his spleen, and his gall bladder.  This is what his wife, Sandra has told me, I talked to her the day after he got home from the hospital.  She feels they discharged him too soon.  She had asked me if I wanted to talk to him, but I told her no, I would call back when he felt better and a little stronger.  I know the last thing he wanted to do was talk on the phone. I'm giving him a few weeks to recover somewhat, and then I will call and speak to him. After I speak with him, I will put out an update on him, then they should know more. May God Bless You Today, Tomorrow & Always, In Christ's Love & Mine, Patty

Update: 6/9/2002
Hi Barry is holding his own right now.........he is permanently on disability and just works around his home.  He has to take shots every day......the doctors give him a life span of 5 or 6 years........so all we can do is keep him uplifted in our prayers.  His frame of mind is basically good except he has his bouts of depression when he has to take his shots.......but over all i think Barry is handling everything remarkably well for all he is going through.........one thing though......he did get saved!!!   :0) patty

Update 12/5/02
Barry is living on faith.........the doctors said he should already be dead and gave up on him a while ago........he took one chemo treatment and said forget it because it made him so sick.  His liver is full of cancer and he is on all kinds of meds for pain.  He went to Brazil not long ago, to see a doctor over there that is known for miracle cures.  He charges no money and prays over you and has been known to treat others of cancer.  Barry is going back there to see him again in a few weeks.  He has a very good attitude and is very, very positive and says he is going to be the miracle man and beat the cancer. He has been saved and baptized and devoted his life for the Lord.  He says he will be the Lords walking testimony.  So all in all........he is doing very well with the exception of still having the cancer very bad.
Please continue to pray for him.
God Bless Patty

The cancer is all through his liver now.  So keep him in prayer, he has a very good outlook for someone dying.  If I could trade my life for his, I would.
Love your sister in Christ, Patty

Thanks for the prayer-your prayers were answered and mine too. The doctor believes I have an allergy and put me on eye drops. She said they should feel better in a week. I asked if it could be from the eye drops I had, but she thought my eyes would be red and swollen, but I am not ruling it out as that is when the irritation started. The swelling behind the eye however is not from an allergy but she does not believe it is macular deterioration either, she thinks he just threw that out there. So hoping I will be back to my prayer ministry in a week, wow that will be a big praise for me if the eye drops work. Thanks for the prayers, pray the eye drops do the job. Love, Melody

Update 6/14
Hello everyone, and thanks for your support. It's been a long ride sitting on the back of a motorcycle! We were called to an old Baptist church (very good church by the way) to help them in their faith, helped them a lot to overcome prejudice and fear of odd looking people. Because it is an old established church most of the people there still have a few hang ups on other "kinds" of people, and would usually look at us (bikers) as devil spawns. The testimony was simply to say that God saves all kinds of people in all kinds of places in life, and all of the bikers in our group were saved by the grace of God. It was great.   After our testimony many came and ask questions and said they would pray for our ministry, and said that perhaps they would start talking to others about God. The people stay mostly to themselves, they don't mix with people of the world or try to reach out to the unsaved with the Gospel. Through our ministry they saw that reaching out can really touch people of all walks in life. Later in the afternoon as we were at the president's house, one of the members of this church, didn't come to church that morning, and neither did his family. They got a call from the Pastor right after the morning celebration and testimony. The family has received word from the Police that they had found that member's car on the Mercier Bridge, He threw himself off the bridge and died on the rocks way down below, He left a note in the car. Apparently he had financial problems (no one knew about it) he was a well known member of the church, very devoted and giving etc. Our hearts were broken ... now as we lift his wife and two children up to the Lord in prayer , we ask that you keep them in prayer also. Dearest Christian family, if you or anyone you know has any problems financially or otherwise PLEASE SPEAK OUT and don't keep it to yourselves. If one doesn't seek help, the enemy prowls around like a roaring lion and leads that person to suicide, believing that there is no other way out. Please talk to someone and don't be afraid to ask for help. Elaine Marie

Heavenly Father I lift up Sharon to you in prayer. She had surgery to have her lung removed as a result of having cancer. The family was very upset with the results, unfortunately, the doctor informed them that the cancer had spread to Sharon's chest lymph nodes. She awoke from her surgery knowing that they were not able to remove her lung.  She has a terrific outlook on all of this. Her next step will be to get involved with a clinical trial and a new cancer drug that is being researched for her type of cancer. Lord I ask that you wrap Sharon in your arms of love. I ask that you draw her close to you. I ask that you cover her with your healing power from above. I ask that you give comfort to her and remove any pain and discomfort that she may be having.  I come before your Heavenly Throne on her behalf with faith that through you all things are possible. I ask that you give wisdom to the doctors and medical staff that are caring for her. I ask that this new drug be the answer to a cure for this type of cancer. 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 you wrap her family in your arms of love.

Heavenly Father I lift up Sarah to you in prayer. Sarah is fourteen years old, and was found with Crystal Meth in her room. The police came to her house, found it and let her go with a warning. Her friend Christina is very concerned about her drug use and wants to help her but nothing she says seems to help. Sarah has told Christina that she is going to quit, she wants to believe this but Sarah has said this many times before.

Update 6/29
Thank you so much for praying with me and for my friend Sarah! I'm so sorry that it took me so long to write you back, but I have been so busy.  That letter touched my heart so much.  At times I just don't know what to do.  Because when it seems like there is no one that cares or even wants to care you get a letter from someone and you read it and it melts your heart!!!  That letter did exactly that...I was so touched by that letter.  I haven't been able to share it with her yet, but I'm hoping I can sit her down and show her the love that God has for her, and that people really do care about her.  Whether they know her or not, she is still loved.  I thank you so much for prayer for her salvation, and I know that God is working I can tell he is....I can feel it.  But now there is a bigger prayer that I need to ask of you to pray for....Sarah is pregnant.  And he is only 14.  She won't tell her Mom and she doesn't want to until she starts to really show. I'm so afraid that her mother will make her have an abortion.  And she doesn't want to, but my biggest concern is for Sarah and the baby.  She is only 14 and having a baby.  She is going to keep this baby, but she has no way of supporting this baby. I'm willing to do anything for this baby and for Sarah.  Even though we have had our rough times, I just can't leave her now. She's in a time where she needs someone to be there no matter what, and that's what I'm going to do, be there for.  Well, I'm asking you to pray for her tonight, because right now she is in jail in is pregnant and she is scared out of her mind. I know God has his hands on her and is protecting her I just wish she could realize that.  Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and pray for her.  God bless you and thank you again!
Your sister in Christ, Christina
Update 8/13/01
Good evening Charlotte I am very sorry for not replying sooner, I was in Texas with my sister. She had her baby, so I was down there visiting, and I didn't have a computer to talk on, but I will update you on what is going on with Sarah.  As of right now, I have not talked with her for about a month, so I'm not exactly sure what is going on with her, but as far as what she has told me, she has stopped doing drugs, and is getting her act together, but there is only one reason why she has stopped doing drugs, she's pregnant now, and she has realized that she doesn't want to kill her baby. That's all I know as of right now, but it doesn't seem to be going good for her. She still refuses to except Christ, and start going to church.  I just don't know what to do anymore. I've done all I can do, but I just wish there was more that I could do. I see her going down the wrong path and I just want to knock some sense into her and point her to the right direction, but I know that won't happen... Sorry didn't mean to say that,....well, I know that won't work, all I can do is know that she is in God's hands, and know that He is working with her.  I trust in God, and I know that He is working in her, but its just so hard to sit back and not do anything.  Well, I have to unpack a little more, I'll email more later.  Thanks for asking what's going on with Sarah.  I really appreciate it God bless you Charlotte and keep in touch. Love your sister in Christ, Christina

Heavenly Father I lift up Brandi and Henry to you in prayer. Their marriage is on the brink of divorce, they are in a lot of debt and Brandi's car has been repossessed.  Brandi can't go to work because she has no one to care for her son and can't place him in day care because of the debt owed to them already. They will not take him until the money owed to them has been paid in full. All of the turmoil that has entered into their lives is causing a great deal of stress for Brandi and she is becoming depressed. She is always sad and crying and she and Henry argue a lot.

Heavenly Father I lift up Maria to you in prayer. She is having a lot of marital problems and after speaking to the doctor, counselor etc. a decision has been made concerning her marriage. The doctor pointed out to her that she is not only having anxiety attacks because of the stress in her life but also finds Maria to be suffering from depression. Her decision is to separate from her husband until her health improves. Some of her problems stem from her husband telling her that he doesn't love her any more as a wife, that he loves her only as a friend. He has also made comments to her that he thinks that she is crazy. The reason that he tells her she is crazy is because of her Christianity. Maria also has children and she loves them dearly. Lord I ask that you wrap Maria in your arms of love. I ask that you draw her close to you. I ask that you remove the anxiety and depression from her life and replace it with joy and happiness. I ask that you give her wisdom as to the decisions she makes concerning her marriage. I ask that your will be done in her life and not hers. Your word says, a wife must not separate from her husband, but if she does she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband. If a woman has a husband who is not a believer and he is willing to live with her, she must not divorce him. If the unbeliever leaves, let him do so. A believing man or woman is not bound in such circumstances. Lord I ask that you write these words upon Maria's heart. I ask that you draw her husband close to you. I ask that you place Christians in his path who will share the good news of Christ with him. I ask that you place a desire in his heart to walk in the path of righteousness as Maria has done. I pray for his salvation. I ask that you draw her children close to you. If there are any who have not accepted Jesus as their Lord and their Savior I pray for salvation. I ask that you bring this family together in unity in Christ. I ask in the name of Jesus. Amen.

When Prime Minister Ariel Sharon came to visit the infant and his parents in Jerusalem's Hadassah Hospital in Ein Kerem on Sunday, senior physicians told him that the infant's case was hopeless as a result of the serious brain injury sustained in the attack. Doctors told the prime minister that from a medical point of view it was a matter of time until the condition of the infant continues to deteriorate, adding the parents are Observant Jews who have not abandoned hope and the power of prayer. Doctors explained that on Sunday, the critically injured infant took another turn for the worse. Pastor Gerald & Tracy Leibmann

Update 6/20/01
Joe is going to have 3 vertebrates in his neck fused today. They had first thought they might remove his breathing tube, but have decided to wait a week. Joe had a dislocated hip, they thought it might be broke, it is now back in place.  He does have a tiny bit of bone chipped off, if he has trouble with it they will deal with that later.  Jennifer, Joe's wife, is holding up, with the help and prayers of her friends and family.  She will be staying at the hospital tonight to be with Joe. Jennifer is due the first of Aug.  Please continue to pray for them.  Thanks for your prayers. In Christ, Pam

Joe is awake.  He is going to get the halo off his head on Mon. He is having trouble with his stomach. They are trying to feed him through a tube in his stomach, but it is not going through.  They have put him back on an IV.  He is weak and losing weight.  They are trying to get him to mouth words.  He still needs lots of prayers. Jennifer will probably have their baby next week.  Pray that all will go well, and that the baby be able to go see Joe the next day with Jennifer.  She wants Joe to be the first to know, other than her immediate family.
Thank you for your prayers, Pam
7/24/01 Update
Jennifer had her baby Sunday at 11:00 AM.  She took Joseph Jr. to see his dad at his hospital at 6:00 PM that same day. We are thankful that she and the baby are doing well. The nurses gave her a calling card so she could talk to Joe while having the baby. They took the halo off of Joe, but have had to put the breathing and stomach tubes back in. He is in need of many prayers. Please pray that GOD would work a miracle and heal him. I pray that the nerves will heal and that his stomach will start working.  The doctors have said that he has a "Christopher Reeves" type injury. Please pray that the family will have strength and that they will feel the presence of GOD's love to confront them. In CHRIST, Pam
Update 7/28/01
I am sorry to report that Joe passed away last night. Please remember Jennifer and her 3 children in your prayers.

In Christ, Pam

Thanks to all who have been lifting my mother and our family up in your prayers. I am sorry to say that surgery is necessary but I am glad to say that my family are drawing together and that my Mother Has the peace of the Lord all over her. I am so glad to be able to tell her also that she is being lifted up all over the states. Her surgery has been scheduled for Monday, time unknown. It will consist of replacing three arteries.. of the four which are blocked.. two completely ,two at 90%. It is really shocking that she has been in medical care for the past 15 yrs  and no one had detected a problem with her arteries. I know that God is in Control and He has all ready assured me that Healing is already taking place.  I hope you continue to pray and keep lifting her up. In Jesus Name Joyce

I am sorry to say that my Mother passed away on June 22nd. She went to be with the Lord from complications due to the heart surgery she had. Please keep us in your prayers.   Joyce
Update 2/7/02
Hello,  My dad accepted Christ but is still not making a public profession of His faith.  He seems to think that he does not have to but I know deep in my heart that he needs too.  My brother of course was already saved and my sister has not returned to the Lord. I would appreciate your prayers for her that God would continue to convict her which he has been doing now since the new year. I am doing great, God has told me the past two weeks it is time to remove the sack cloth and ashes, mourning is over and to take on His Joy.  The Joy of the Lord is our Strength.  I quote scripture to reinforce my identity in Christ, for so long I didn't know what it was to be in a relationship with Him. I love the Lord more and more each day.  I am very blessed in my Home Church and for their commitment to us, the members.  Thank you so much for your letter.  I am really tired today, been a long two weeks. Love in the Lord, Joyce

 Heavenly Father I lift up Kinsey to you in prayer. She got caught under a riding lawn mower on May 25th. She had to be air lifted to the local hospital and then air lifted again to Iowa City. She was in surgery for about three and a half hours and her condition afterwards was stable. She has extensive damage to her right leg and has lost all of her right toes, there is the possibility that they will have to amputate her leg half way down her shin. She has been incubated and will stay that way for another day or so. She has lost a lot of blood, and will need several skin grafts. The doctors said that she will probably have to stay in the hospital for at least two weeks. They said that she is doing well considering what she has been through, but that she is not out of the woods yet.  Lord I ask that you wrap this precious child in your arms of love. She is only three years old and I cannot imagine the pain that she has been through, so young Lord. I come before your Heavenly Throne on behalf of Kinsey and 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 in.

Update 6/05/01
Hello ~ I want to thank you all for your prayers and encouragement. I went in to the hospital for a headache and ended up staying several days for high blood pressure. Turns out I have heart trouble that I wasn't aware of until then. I also found out that I am now diabetic, which is something I have long dreaded since it runs in my family. So, now I have to learn to live a new lifestyle, and deal with stress without letting it get to me, lol!  I am still having a lot of pain in my eye and forehead where it all started, but it lessens somewhat daily.  I will probably not spend as much time online for a while as I have in the past, until the pain stops or at least becomes more tolerable. Raven


Heavenly Father I lift up William's sister to you in prayer. She is only twenty-two years old and has been diagnosed with a rare form of T-cell lymphoma that only sixteen people have ever had. The doctor said there is no survival rate. She is scheduled to have bone marrow taken and will be given as much chemotherapy as she can tolerate. To sum it up she will be like a guinea pig, as the doctors don't have very much information on this disease so they are going after it with all they know to try medically. Lord I ask that you wrap William's sister in your arms of love. I ask that you draw her close to you. I ask that you remove any pain and discomfort that the chemotherapy may cause. All that can be done for her medically is being done and the treatment is only experimental and not a cure. Lord taking all of this into consideration, I come before your Heavenly Throne on behalf of William's sister. I come before you knowing that what is impossible with the doctors is possible through your healing power. You Lord are our great physician and when all else fails we come to you and ask for miraculous healing. I ask that you give complete healing to William's sister. 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. If it is not your will to heal her then I ask for mercy. I ask that you give comfort to her loved ones as they go through this illness with her. I ask that you draw them close to you. I ask for complete healing. I ask that you give wisdom and guidance to the medical researchers in finding a cure for this disease. I ask in the name of Jesus. Amen.
Update   7/16/01
Strange as it seems, Pam is fine, she is bald and weak from the chemo, but tumors have shrunk up and she seems fine. The doctors told her she has a rare form of t-cell lymphoma, only sixteen cases on record with zero survival rate, may be that she is so young that she handles the chemo so well. I pray that the doctors have misdiagnosed her, and she doesn't have cancer at all, only time will tell. She is only twenty-two years old. She and my brother have no children together. Add me to your list if you will, I am having financial troubles with the job market being what it is around here. Thank you, William

Charity I want to thank everyone for all the prayers and well wishes for Chuck and me. Let me see if I can explain what is going on. He started Sat. with a very bad headache and vomiting. He continued to vomit all weekend. When he got up Monday he was lethargic and his speech was slurred and he couldn't form his words properly. We too him to the ER close to us. his BP & blood sugar were very high. The started IVs and got the BP down a little. Then they did a CAT scan and found that he had a small bleed into the left side of his brain. Then they transferred him to Tampa General hospital to be under the care of a Neurosurgeon. They have him hooked up to all kind of monitors and are watching him closely. He seemed a little better today when we were there. His speech is clearer but still slow. He knows us and who he is and where he is, he just has trouble expressing it right now. You will never know how much all your thoughts and good wishes mean to me! I think you all are what is keeping me sane right now! I know that prayer works and with all of the prayers being said for him I know he will improve! Love you all! Lois

Heavenly Father I lift up Tina Chafin to you in prayer. She fell ninety-five feet into a canyon, when she fell, she landed on her head and face. There was so much swelling in her throat from the injuries that she could not breath, so they ended up having to place an airway through the trachea to help her breath. She has massive breakage throughout her body, including a broken right arm, pelvic bone, skull fractures, and every bone in her face is broken. She also has spinal fluid leaking throughout her body. She is in a coma still, and they will be trying to do another Cat Scan to determine the extent of her injuries. Her nine year old daughter Stevie is blaming herself. The accident happened when Tina saw her daughter slipping near the edge of the canyon. She went to pull her daughter back, and lost her balance and fell herself. Her fall was broken at forty-five feet where she caught hold of something, but couldn't hold on and fell the rest of the way. It took the Paramedics three hours to get to her and one hour to get her out and airlifted to the hospital. Lord I ask that you wrap Tina in your arms of love. I ask that you remove any pain and discomfort that she may be in. I ask that you give wisdom and guidance to the doctors and medical staff as to administering the proper treatment to her. Lord I come before your Heavenly Throne on behalf of Tina and I ask that you bring her safely through, free from complications and completely healed of all injuries. 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 you wrap Stevie in your arms of love and give comfort to her. I ask that you remove the guilt that she is feeling and give her peace in knowing that You are with her mother. I ask for complete healing. I ask in the name of Jesus. Amen.
 Update: 5/29
We got word today that, while Tina is still in a light drug induced coma, she is responding to some commands!! Thank You Lord!!!  She has squeezed someone's hand, moved her toes, and fluttered her eyelids. So we are praising God for this miracle!! And the miracle of her very life!!  The rest of her condition is as follows: She has a halo on her head to keep it in place, as she has three fractures in her skull. She has broken her neck in two places, her collarbone in the front and back, her pelvis is broken in the front and back, her wrist, cheek bones, jaw, and she has chipped a bone in her leg, and has a cast on it. Her lungs are very bruised, so prayer is needed that pneumonia will NOT set in. She will be having a monitor put in her head to monitor the swelling, and the doctors will also be putting in a shunt. PLEASE PRAY for her comfort during these procedures, and that everything will go well. These next few days are very crucial. PLEASE PRAY that NO infection, or pneumonia will take place. PLEASE PRAY for complete wholeness and healing of all her injuries, and that she will rest in the peace, and feel the healing touch of her Comforter, Jesus. Also, PLEASE PRAY for her family, especially her daughter, Stevie. She is taking this very hard, and blaming herself. She is 9 years old. Lord, we ask in Jesus Precious Name that You hold her close in Your Love. Amen. I will keep you updated as I hear news of her condition. Thank you for your precious prayers. I can feel the love in each one. :) Your Sister In Christ, Julie
Update 5/31/01
PRAISE GOD!!!!!! Prayers are being answered!! To God be the glory!! The monitors in Tina's brain are showing that the swelling has stopped. The orthopedic doctor continues to visit her, and in fact, he is the one who is telling her to respond to specific commands. She can wiggle her toes a little, and her eyelids flutter when someone talks to her. She can also squeeze his hand when asked. He has said that she will have to go through a series of operations on her face when she gets stronger....But, another praise report is that the swelling and blackness around her eyes has started to subside. Other than that, they are just trying to keep her resting. She is still listed in critical condition, and still needs much prayer...but I feel that these are great steps in the right direction. Lord, we thank you and praise Your Holy Name!! PLEASE continue to pray for her. I know that all your prayers have made such a difference. I can't thank you enough!!  Love In Christ, Julie

To My Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Please bear with me, because I am not even sure how to write this or what to say...my heart is very heavy, and words just cannot express how I feel....but I received a call about an hour ago that Tina has gone on to be with the Lord. She passed away this afternoon from another blood clot. Her family is just starting to get word out...and Stevie does not know yet. They will be bringing Tina up to Va. tomorrow, and telling Stevie then. Tina was a single mother and has two other children. a boy, 18...and a girl 16. The older children were from a previous marriage and their father was killed in an automobile accident when they were younger...so the whole family is still very much in need of  prayer, including Tina's family and friends...This has been a shock to everyone. Also, PLEASE remember Stevie in prayer especially throughout her life. if the Lord brings her to your remembrance. I cannot even bear to think of her carrying this guilt that she has been feeling.  OH GOD, we cry out to you for mercy to be upon this whole situation.

Hope In Him~Path to Forever  

 Update 6-04-01_Monday_
My Dear Friends, Family and Prayer Partners ......  Our loving Father has chosen to take his sweet daughter, Tina; home with Him, where she can once again "blossom" in heaven in "full" glory. "Please" dear one's remember her family, children, friends and loved one's as they prepare to lay her to rest. We know that the void, grief and pain of losing a loved one is deep, sharp and with no solace in sight. I think especially of Tina's daughter; "Stevie" who is laying the guilt upon her own shoulders, Father we ask that You; in Your perfect wisdom, love and direction hold this child and give her a sweet peace and understanding. Father we pray that she knows beyond a shadow of a doubt that she is blameless and that You love her and tenderly "embrace" her in Your strong merciful arms of compassion and warmth. Thank You Sir for your very special comfort, hugs, and presence and blessed assurance that You will "always" abide with her and her family and friends. In Jesus precious name ..Please continue to pray for comfort and His help that they may "all" find their way through this. This verse I love comes to mind as I think of Tina and her heavenly homecoming .Think of stepping on shore and finding it heaven. Of taking hold of a hand and finding it God's. Of breathing new air, feeling invigorated once again and finding it immortality. Of passing from storm and tempest to an unbroken calm. Of waking up and finding it home ..Thank you "all" so "very, very much" for all the heartfelt prayers said for Tina and for all the prayers that will be placed at the feet of Jesus for this bereaved family. May we trust that as we focus on "His" love and word, in time "He" will fill their void and loneliness and heal their pain and wipe their tears, outwardly as well as within their broken hearts ...God Bless You ... In His Love ... Donna.

My Dear, Dear Family In Christ, I just wanted to do one more update and thank you for everything that you've done ....I am truly blessed and overwhelmed by your love, prayers, and support...so please know, from the bottom of my heart, I deeply thank you. The network of prayer has been amazing, and I really feel that this is what we are called to do....join together as one in Christ for each other, to His glory. His ways are Higher than ours, and it is GLORY, in and of itself, that we will never truly die, but will share eternity with Him and each other. We trust and hope in You Lord!  As one person wrote...we may not understand everything..but the same rejoicing takes place in heaven when a Saint returns...as we rejoice here when a child is born...but in a GREATER way than we could ever imagine. Jesus must have welcomed Tina with open arms..and I know He will continue to watch over her family. Thank You Lord...for Your love, Your provision, and Your care for us, as Your children. We praise You Father, and we ask that You watch over Tina's children with gentle loving care, until they are together again..In Jesus Name. Amen Also, on behalf of her friends and family, I know that they appreciate your prayers so much...and that they are also very thankful for each and every one of you. You have been a blessing to us all. Thank you so much!! During these last couple of days, I found out  that Tina was also an organ donor.  At her funeral this morning, I learned that her pancreas went to an 11 year old diabetic boy...and 3 other people's lives have been spared from her loving sacrifice to others. It is an honor to call her our Sister in Christ..and I look forward to the day of thanking her in heaven. She has been a shining example of Christ's love. May God richly bless you, Tina. Her children are still in need of prayer, as expected. Stevie seems to be in denial..so we are praying that she will open up to someone. Tina's 16 year old daughter, and 18 year old son, have had a lot on their shoulders..so we just need to hold them up to the Lord, that their Heavenly Father will keep them close. Lord, we place them in Your Loving Hands.  Thank you all so much...words cannot truly express my gratitude for what you've meant to me. Thank You Father for my brothers and sisters in Christ. I pray that Your Face will shine on them with grace, mercy, and peace for all the days of their lives. In Jesus Name. Amen One day, I will meet you all face to face, but until then.... Much Love In Christ, Julie

Heavenly Father I lift up Pam to you in prayer. She is twenty-two years old and has been diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. The doctors say that this type of cancer has zero survival rate. The cancer is spreading at a fast pace. Lord I ask that you wrap Pam in your arms of love. I ask that you draw her close to you. I ask that you remove any pain and discomfort that she may be having. I ask that you cover her with your healing power from above. All that can be done for Pam has been done medically, there is no treatment available to help her. Lord I come before your Heavenly Throne on behalf of Pam and I ask for miraculous healing. I know that what is impossible for man to accomplish is possible with you, for you are our Great Physician. I ask that Pam be a testimony to the doctors, medical staff, family, friends and strangers of your healing power and of the power of prayer. If Pam has not accepted Jesus as her Lord and her Savior I pray for her salvation. I ask that you place Christians in her path to share the good new of Christ. I ask that you give comfort to her family as they share in this difficult time. I ask that you bring Pam through completely healed. I ask in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Heavenly Father I lift up Jesse to you in prayer. He celebrated his 19th birthday last Friday and then on Saturday while at work, he got his arm caught in a shredder. He was air lifted to Harbor Bay Trauma center and the doctors there didn't hold out much hope that he would keep his arm. The surgeons cut away the dead muscle on Saturday and said he had about a 50/50 chance of keeping his arm. On Monday, he went into surgery again and the doctors were very pleased with what they saw. The muscle that is left has not died, and the circulation to his hand and fingers is still very good. There is only about an inch of muscle left running from the inside of his elbow down to his wrist. They will have to take muscle from his back and eventually from his leg to replace the muscle in his arm that was lost. He will also  have  to have skin grafts to cover the muscle up. Right now, all they can do is cover the muscle with a thick piece of bandage since his skin is also gone. He will have to have a lot of physical therapy. Lord I ask that you wrap Jesse in your arms of love. I ask that you remove any pain and discomfort that he may be having. I ask that you draw him close to you. I thank you that the doctors were able to save his arm. I ask that you cover him with your healing power from above. If healing is to come through the hands of a surgeon I ask that you guide the surgeons hands and bring him through free from complications and completely healed. I ask that you give comfort to his family as they await the outcome and draw each one close to you. I ask for complete healing. I ask in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Heavenly Father Tim McVeigh has written a book due to hit the news stands soon. He wants part of the proceeds to go to the Oklahoma City Memorial. The Oklahoma City Memorial has declined the money. This man has been given to much publicity as it is. One hundred and sixty-eight innocent people died at his hands, and he shows NO REMORSE for the horrible crime that he has committed. This man is a murderer of innocent men, women and children who happened to be in the building that he bombed, as he says in retaliation for the loss of lives in Waco. Here is a man who repaid evil for evil. Here is a man who wants to donate the proceeds from a book he has written to the Oklahoma City Memorial, set up for the families of the very people that he murdered. Here is a man who murdered and called it justice. Lord I ask that you intervene and place conviction upon every owner of every news stands world wide, who are even remotely considering to place Tim McVeigh's book for sale, to have a change of heart. I pray that an outpouring of protest from the people be the cause of the removal of his book from any book stand that decides to sell it. I pray for Tim McVeigh Lord, that he will come to fall upon his knees and feel remorse for the crime that he has committed. I pray that he will not be able to sleep for seeing each and every child and each and every adult before him whose life he has taken. I pray that he will fall upon his knees in sincerity of heart and ask your forgiveness. I pray for his salvation. I ask that you give comfort to the families of those whose lives have been taken as they mourn still for their loved ones. I ask that you place a desire in their hearts to forgive this man who has taken the life of their loved ones. I ask that you keep forever fresh the memories of their loved ones within their hearts. I ask in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Heavenly Father we lift up Sudan to you in prayer. The holocaust there is worsening. Two million are already dead and at least three million more Sudanese in the South are at the brink of starvation. Millions will likely die this summer unless action is taken now. They will face starvation as part of the radical Islamic government's anti-Christian genocidal plan! Christian brothers and sisters in Sudan are being tortured, enslaved and imprisoned by a radical Islamic regime simply for their faith. Lord we come together today and we stand united in prayer for our brothers and sisters in Christ, who are being persecuted for their faith. We ask that you place a hedge of protection around them. We ask that you provide safe haven for them to escape the evil that has come upon them. We ask that you place a desire in the hearts of the leaders world wide to take action to put a stop to this horrendous holocaust that is taking place in Sudan. We ask that you intervene upon the United States Government, to pursue policies to stop this genocidal campaign by Sudan's National Islamic Front Government. This campaign has resulted in millions of deaths and tens of thousands of Christians being sold into slavery. The United States Government needs to act immediately and authorize emergency humanitarian relief to avert this crisis. Petitions are being signed and sent to President Bush as well as other leaders to put a stop to this holocaust. Lord we call upon YOU a much more qualified leader to work things out for good, to fight the evil that has come upon Sudan. What is impossible for man to accomplish we know that through You Lord all things are possible. Lord we leave this situation in your hands and we ask for your hand to be upon Sudan. We thank you that we have freedom to worship here in our country and not be persecuted for it.  We ask for the evil that is going on in Sudan to be stopped, we ask in the precious name of Jesus. Amen.

Heavenly Father I lift up Shiloh to you in prayer. At the age of nine months old he fell into a Jacuzzi at his home. When his mother Sunny found him he was not breathing, she tried to resuscitate but was having a hard time before 911 arrived. Sunny remained with Shiloh in the hospital for six weeks. Shiloh's father took care of the other children and Sunny remained at Shiloh's side every minute of the day. The doctors said, that the best thing was for them to unplug the life support machine, because Shiloh was brain dead, and that he would never come back. Sunny would not believe that. She said, that as long as he was alive she would not unplug any machines. They suggested, that he be put in a nursing home and also said that he could not remain in the hospital. Sunny could not put him in the nursing home, she took him home to care for him herself. She was trained for the six weeks that Shiloh was in the hospital on caring for him.  During his time in the hospital complications set in and he had to have a device inserted for his breathing, also, a gastric-tube for feeding. He was brought home and placed on a ventilator. Shiloh's siblings have been saddened and painfully hurt by this tragedy. I do not know how much time has lapsed from the time of his accident until now other than a two years span. Shiloh is now back in the hospital. Lord I ask that you wrap this precious child in your arms of love. I ask that you hold him close and comfort him. My heart is breaking for this precious child and his family. I know Lord that what is impossible for man is possible with you. I ask that you cover Shiloh with your healing power from above. All that can be done for him here medically has been done. I come before your Heavenly Throne on behalf of this little child and I ask for miraculous healing. I ask that he awaken and that there be rejoicing heard throughout the hospital. Oh Father God I ask that you bring joy into the lives of this family who have never given up on a miracle. I ask that Shiloh 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 you wrap each one in your arms of love Mom, Dad and siblings. I ask that you draw each one close to you. I ask that you give to them their little Shiloh healed completely and whole again. I ask in the precious name of Jesus. Amen. Please Pray For Baby Shiloh

 Heavenly Father I lift up Darrin to you in prayer. This young man is eighteen years old. He recently lost a loved one and broke up with his girlfriend Tessa after being with her for fourteen months. He admits that this has caused a lot of hurt in her life. He now regrets the break up, but at the time he thought it was the right thing to do. Tessa was there for him through all of the sad times in his life. Their personalities are very much alike, and they both prayed a month before they met that they would meet someone. Tessa is now dating someone else and Darrin is happy that she is not in pain anymore but he misses her and wants her back. Tessa's mother, Darrin's mother and Darrin feel that they will get back together. Tessa has stated that she isn't ready to go back out with him. Darrin is under a lot of emotional stress, he says that he loves her so much that for a while he couldn't eat or sleep, and that he thinks about her every second of every day. She says she still misses him and that she is just not ready to get back with him. Darrin has been attending Church off and on since he was three years old. He believes in his heart that he and Tessa were meant to break up in order to form a stronger relationship. Lord I ask that you wrap Darrin in your arms of love. I ask that you draw him close to you.  Lord you know if these two are meant to be together or not and maybe you have placed them at a distance from one another for a reason. I ask that you give comfort and patience to Darrin as he waits upon you for whatever is to be in his life. I ask that you place a desire in his heart to seek your guidance in this matter and to accept whatever the outcome may be. I ask that you give comfort to him and remove any hurt that he may be going through. If Darrin and Tessa aren't meant to be together then I pray that they can be friends. I ask that your will be done in their lives. I ask in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Heavenly Father I lift up Anjuli to you in prayer. She is four years old and has been diagnosed with a brain tumor. The attempt to reduce her medication Decadron from 3 mg a day to 2.25 mg a day was disastrous. The reduction may be the cause of the loss of her gag reflex, which led to her silently aspirating liquids on Monday and Tuesday. By Tuesday late afternoon she had deteriorated quite badly and was rushed to the Emergency Room. While there she declined quickly and precipitously. She was admitted to the intensive care unit with aspiration pneumonia of both lungs, respiratory distress and a dangerously high heart rate. Her legs turned purple. She was almost delirious. Thank you Lord she improved and was discharged from the Intensive Care Unit the next afternoon. A swallow study the next day showed she cannot tolerate any liquid that is thinner than a milkshake--and even that must be sucked through a tiny straw. It takes her forty-five minutes to drink seven ounces. Her mother, Marcia, had to make a decision to have a nasal-gastric tube placed for hydration. At the hospital Anjuli cried frequently and was very frightened. She seemed to be giving up, she wouldn't cough or even communicate. Speaking has very suddenly become very difficult for her and her speech is quite slurred and slow. She had always been such a sophisticated talker. Her hearing is much worse, a dramatic change in just a few days. She can no longer feel foods in her mouth. The doctors and her mother decided to discharge her early so as to improve her mood and give her back her will to fight. She is now home and she is going through thirteen liters per minute of oxygen. She also has a NG feeding tube (water for hydration only). Her mother's fears are can she survive another bout of pneumonia, will she tolerate the NG tube for long, will she ever get off the steroids so she can lose some of the weight and regain some mobility? The worst fear of all is does the loss of gag reflex, the loss of oral sensation, the loss of oral mobility and the reduction in hearing mean tumor growth or could these all be related to the Decadron reduction or possibly the effects of the radiation?  (She completed fifty-nine gy's of radiation on 12/29/00. Her next MRI is scheduled for May 31. She started a new medication Gleevec, today, no problems so far. Lord I ask that you wrap this precious child in your arms of love. I ask that you remove any pain and discomfort that she may be in, so young and already suffered so much pain in her life. Lord I come before your Heavenly Throne on behalf of Anjuli and I ask for miraculous healing. I ask that you cover her with your healing power from above. I ask that you heal her completely. 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 you give comfort to Marcia and the loved ones of Anjuli and draw each one close to you. I ask that you remove all fear from Marcia and replace it with peace and calmness. If there are any in Anjuli's family who have not accepted Jesus as their Lord and their Savior I pray for their salvation. I ask that you place Christians in their path to share the good news of Christ. I ask for complete healing. I ask in the name of Jesus. Amen.
Update 7/14/01
Anjuli was a little girl in California that was diagnosed with a brain tumor approximately the same time as my Grand Daughter (Brianna).  I posted a prayer request for her on my website Prayer Doves a while back.  Anjuli went to be with the Lord a few weeks ago.  In Christ Love, Brenda

Heavenly Father I lift up Diana to you in prayer. Her mother deserted her and her siblings at a young age for another man. She has not had anything to do with them for many years and still doesn't. Diana's wants for her mother to love her so much. How sad for her and her siblings not to have known a mother's love and to be rejected by her even as adults. Lord I ask that you wrap Diana in your arms of love. I ask that you draw her close to you. I ask that you soften the heart of her mother Judy and place a desire in her to want to reach out to her children. I ask that you bring this family together, and in doing so the children will have forgiveness toward Judy and they will make a fresh start. A new beginning loving one another and being a family.  If this family has not accepted Jesus as their Lord and their Savior I pray for their salvation. I ask that you place Christians in their path to share the gospel of Christ. I ask in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Heavenly Father I lift up Jeff Ellis to you in prayer. He suffers from acute leukemia and he is near death. Lord I ask that you wrap Jeff in your arms of love. I ask that you draw him close to you.

Lord I come before your Heavenly Throne on behalf of Jeff and I ask for miraculous healing. If it is not your will to heal him then I ask for mercy. I ask that you give comfort to his wife, children and other family members and draw each one close to you. I ask in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Heavenly Father I lift up Barbara Hannah to you in prayer. Barbara is in a nursing home and she is in a comatose state. The day of the move as she was being prepared for the move there, she smiled for the first time since her accident. Since that day tears have flowed down her cheeks as she follows the movements of those in her room. This does not happen all of the time but only certain times. Her son stated that his mother had not ever responded in anyway, until that day. Lord I ask that you wrap Barbara in your arms of love. I ask that you let her feel your presence there in the room with her. I ask that you comfort her in your arms of love. I ask that you cover her with your healing power from above. I ask that you bring her out of coma free from complications and completely healed. I ask that the tears that she is shedding now be turned into tears of joy when she awakens. I ask that Barbara be a testimony to the doctors, the medical staff, family, friends and strangers of your healing power and of the power of prayer. I ask that you give comfort to her son and her daughter-in-law and draw them close to you. I ask that you use your servant Milly to share the good news of Christ with Barbara and her family. I ask that you place a desire in their hearts to seek you, a desire to know you and a desire to accept Jesus as their Lord and their Savior. I ask that you place them on the path to righteousness. I ask for complete healing both physically and spiritually. I ask in the precious name of Jesus. Amen
Update 7/4/01
My Dearest Faithful Brothers and Sisters in Christ, This is not only a Praise Report but this is a MIRACLE without a Doubt. I am so blown away, that  I can hardly type. My brother was online last night and instant messaged me asking if I wanted to go see MS Barbara Hanna today, without hesitation, I said yes I did. We had not been in three weeks, and I felt so strongly we needed to go see her, then after I went to bed last night, I had this wonderful dream about Ms Hanna,  In my dream we had gone to see her and when I walked in her room she was sitting on the side of her bed, and as I walked up to her she began talking to me,  even though it was just a dream, I felt strongly about going. When I got to my brothers house, I sat down to wait for my sister to get finished up so we could make the trip to see her, but just before we were about to leave, I remembered my dream and told my sister and brother and sister-in-law what I had dreamed. We took seven children with us, besides us four adults, when we first arrived, my sister asked if they would allow the children to sing a few songs for the patients to which the activity director, immediately replied YES. In the mean time, I went directly to Ms Hanna's room, I went in the room first to make sure that she was dressed and to prepare her for our visit, I noticed that the door was partly shut, and I peeked in to see two aids working with Ms Hanna changing her clothing, so I backed out saying I would come back in a few minutes. I waited about five minutes and went back to the room, to witness what I had missed when I first went in, the Miracle we had all prayed for had come to pass, this precious woman, whom doctors claimed there was nothing more they could do, who doctor's gave up all hope on for recovery, who they said would never come out of her coma, who's family lost all faith and sold all her belonging, because of the what the doctor's predicted was her future,  this lovely woman who the Lord placed on our hearts after a  one in a million chance meeting with her family and I  whom you have all have been praying for a Miracle for, GOT that MIRACLE and just as I had envisioned it in my dream, there she was sitting on edge of bed with her back to me. As I went around in amazement, all I could do was cry, and praising and saying Glory to GOD, Thanking Jesus over and over again,  I walked up to MS Hanna, and said hello and introduced myself, she immediately said, I remember you, I know you, this sister recognized our voices, remembered the prayers and remembered us talking to her, touching her, rubbing her limbs that were twisted and she remembered, that we had come to see her a few times before she woke up, not only that, MS Hanna is fully aware of who everyone is, she has her mind fully intact, she recognizes her family and friends, she smiles, she cries, and she talks HALLELUJAH!!! no effects of the accident aside from the fact that she is not at this moment walking on her own, (That is coming real soon) no sign of brain damage, and GOD didn't stop there, nope not our AWESOME GOD, the seven children we took with us  were our  nieces, nephews, My son and our daughters, not only were we all so blessed by this marvelous act of GOD, but our children got to entertain the entire nursing home,  they were allowed by the staff to sing for the patients,  socialize and chat with all the those present, the girls were so excited that they were allowed to polish the nails of the ladies there, these kids were wonderful witnesses for Jesus as they talked to the women and men about Jesus, Two of the patients accepted Jesus, one elderly man, told my brother that long ago he asked Jesus into his life but wasn't sure if he was saved, and would go to heaven, he now has no doubt, as my brother prayed with him and assured him that he was indeed saved and heaven bound, this elderly lady told my sister that she just wanted to know for sure she was going to heaven when she died, she prayed the sinners prayer and now has no doubt that she is heaven bound, the kids mingled until over 5:00 PM  and took time with each of the elderly men and women, in the activity room. They enjoyed listening to the stories and words of wisdom these precious men and women had to share. The kids were able to  share Jesus, and came out so blessed by this experience that they all had smiles and exchanged stories about those they talked with, so not only did our Marvelous Awesome GOD see fit to answer our prayers on MS Hanna's behalf, but he also blessed us and the children and all those patients that we were able to witness to. We were allowed to pray with them, I mean it was a site that would bring a smile to God's face, I am so blessed by what's happened, because we never believed anything other than what GOD had placed before us that if were to continue to Believe no matter what or how long it took with Faith, in His power to bring Barbara out of this, He would, and those of you who received that First prayer request and the First update,  remember we had prayed that she not only wake up but that she be made whole like before, memory and all, God also granted us that. Ms Hanna is now in therapy to learn how to walk again, getting stronger, and the breathing tubes  that were breathing for her, have all been removed and now they are going to remove the tube in her throat because her oxygen level is just great. I told Ms Hanna, that she would be cooking dinner for us real soon, and I believe with all that's in me, just as I believed she would come out of this coma, that this will be so, I do ask you continue to pray for she told me she wants to go home, we all know that GOD can just make it where she is perfect in a matter of seconds, but God's timing is of the utmost importance in all things. God has and is going to be so glorified by this Miracle in this entire family with her friends and with the staff at the hospital that said there was no hope, they are all  going to turn their lives over to God once they can understand the magnitude of what He has done, He did have a purpose for placing this family in our path, and because of all the prayers from all you faithful saints he indeed Gave us the Miracle we asked for. I am one of those who knows that GOD can do anything we ask and that He will do them ONLY IF  we BELIEVE FIRST, then ask SECOND in that order,  going into the prayer already knowing, without doubt that He is going to do exactly what we ask, so when GOD places anyone on your heart or if you have been praying for a family member, remember By FAITH that's   KEY WORD here FAITH, whether you know them personally or not as was the case with Ms Hanna, He will blow all our minds time and time again. This Miracle will glorify God over and over because this is an awesome testimony that is going to reach hundreds if not millions, so never ever give up, Believe because God is just as able to perform the very same Miracles He did in days gone by, BELIEVE that He can, and never stop believing, because its never over until GOD says its over. Hallelujah, let us all praise and rejoice in this Miracle that has been performed right before our very eyes. Ms Hanna's son and I Thank you all for your past prayers on this precious woman's behalf and ask that you please don't stop praying now. Keep her lifted up for encouragement and patience, and I will be visiting more often and will surely keep you updated on her progress. I love you all. TO GOD BE THE GLORY!

UPDATE 8/7/01

Dear Brothers and Sisters Prayer Partners: Here's a short update on Barbara Hanna, as you remember Ms Barbara Hanna, was the precious woman, God placed on our hearts to pray for, when Doctor's said she would never come out of her coma, and had given no hope for her recovery to her family. She is looking better each time we go to see her, she smiles when we walk in and cries when we have to leave, she is slowly, recovering, and I believe she will fully recover just as the Holy Spirit placed on our hearts, its a miracle just remembering, what we saw when we first met her and what we see now. Her tubes are all gone, the hole in her neck is closed, she still whispers when she talks, but we can better understand and hear her, she is moving her fingers and holds my hand, and squeezes when asked too, God is truly doing a mighty awesome work, in this precious woman. I just love it so much when God shows off, lolo Ms Barbara, knows that many saints have prayed for her recovery, and she smiles when told about it, she cries when we tell her that God loves her and tells us she knows. I had a T-shirt on at one visit that said "Jesus" the way to Salvation, and she surprised me when she said something I couldn't hear and I asked her to repeat it and it turned out she was reading my T-shirt. All I can say is that each time I see her is Glory to GOD, its a Miracle Indeed, what a testimony she will have to share with all when she finally is allowed to walk out of that building. I have no doubt that GOD is going to be glorified, over and over again with her. I ask that all continue to pray on her behalf, as I said once before she gets anxious, and asks how long, Of course only God knows the answer to that one, she wants to go home, but at this time she is not truly ready for that. Please also pray that her family will visit more often, especially her son, who I feel is sort of staying away, from guilt after selling all of her belongings. I know this is a minor thing compared to her recovery, and I ask you pray should she finally realize he did, that she will hold no anger toward him. He has asked me to not tell her how he and I met, but one thing is for sure, I will not lie to her about anything she asks me, and he knows this, but I will not volunteer any information that she hasn't asked me either. I am going to ask her family if its OK for us to send a picture of her before and after, so you all can see what GOD CAN DO when we BELIEVE, and so that you will have a face to go with the name you all have been praying for, for the past few months, and finally so you can see the Miracle Woman God blessed you all to witness his power through. Will update you again real soon. In Christ We Remain Forever Faithful Milly/Arms4Jesus Ministry Team PS please pray for the teens and younger kids, we take to the nursing home each time we go, who have all adopted Grandparents, that they are blessed by the experience and that GOD is glorified with their testimonies.

Heavenly Father I lift up Sheryl's dad to you in prayer. He has been in the hospital for two weeks. He had surgery for colon cancer and it did not turn out the way it was expected. He was supposed to be out of the hospital in about five days but was kept there due to a staph infection. He is being fed intravenously and has a stomach tube that has to suction the contents of his stomach out because his digestive system isn't working right. He throws up liquids which they have tried to feed him. He has Alzheimer's Disease which has made him incoherent most of the time. Sometimes he recognizes his family and talks coherently. It is also harder on him in the hospital because he doesn't understand fully what is going on, and he has to be restrained so he doesn't pull his tubes out. Lord I ask that you wrap Sheryl's dad in your arms of love. I ask that you draw him close to you. I ask that you remove any pain and discomfort that he may be having. I ask that you cover him with your healing power from above. I ask that you restore his mind to function normally. I ask that you remove the infection from his body. I ask that you restore his digestive system to function properly. I ask that you heal him completely and restore him Lord. I ask that he 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 you give comfort and strength to his wife as she is with him twenty-four hours a day, with the exception of two in which she allows the family to sit with him. I ask that you give comfort to the family and draw each one close to you. I thank you for his salvation. I ask for complete healing. I ask in the name of Jesus. Amen.
Update 05/17/01
Thanks so much for lifting my Dad up to the Lord in prayer!  Please continue to pray because I have a praise report already. I got a call from my Mom at 5 am yesterday.   Her doctor told her to call the family in because it was just a matter of minutes before my Dad passed away. I rushed to the hospital, and his blood pressure was almost gone. I did not want to see him die, so when my Mom's Pastor arrived to stay with her I left the room. The nurse came out to see if I was OK, and told me his body was shutting down, and that in a few minutes he would just go to sleep and never wake up. I told her we were Christians, that my Dad had just gotten saved before this happened, and we pass from life to life. My brother and his family came in a little later.  We all went in the room to sit with my Mom and Dad. Suddenly his blood pressure rose significantly ( It was at about 8am).  The nurse got very excited and told us to talk to him.  She and my Mom talked to him and rubbed his arms.  His doctor came in later and asked my Mom's permission to call in an MD to give him a complete physical exam. Although he is a Christian too (I'm assuming from things he's said) he said he did not understand what had happened.  He ordered blood-work and a chest x-ray.  The x-ray shows that my Dad has pneumonia in both lungs, and a possible blood clot in one lung. My Dad's blood pressure and pulse were very good yesterday.  He also opened his eyes and smiled at us.  Today he is talking again. Seeing what I saw yesterday has built my faith up enough to where I have no problem at all believing for my Dad's full recovery from his present illnesses, including Alzheimer's. I hope this builds everyone's faith.  Wow!  God answers prayer! Sheryl
UPDATE 5/21/01
I have another praise report concerning my Dad.  He is doing much, much better physically, in fact, I think he could possibly leave the hospital in a few days if his mind is healed.  He does not have a blood clot.  It is my feeling that they were just speculating as to why he might have recovered so quickly when they were so sure he was dying. I'm requesting prayer this time specifically for his mental healing.  My Mom was handling all this so well until my Dad's doctor told her he would never get well mentally.  She has given up hope, and cries and cries.  I tried to remind her that doctors don't know what God has planned, or is going to do; that this is the same doctor who said he would die within a few minutes. I can't comfort her about this because she just won't hear it.  She says I have on rose-colored glasses, and that I should look at the facts.  The scripture says "we walk by faith and not by sight" popped into my mind, and I repeated it back to her.  But it is hard to have faith when she talks to me like this. I prayed about my attitude toward my Dad's condition. I asked the Lord if I was wrong to expect his full healing and recovery.  I felt very strongly led to read the daily devotional from "Streams in the Desert" for Nov. 2.  This devotional is a very profound teaching about the power of prayer.  So I feel that the Lord is saying that I'm not wrong to have a confident expectation that God will answer our prayers. I thank everyone for their prayers. Sheryl
Update 5/24
Hi,
  My Mom is upbeat and encouraged. The doctor ordered tests that he said would show which parts of my Dad's brain were not functioning. The tests showed that all parts of his brain are functioning. The diagnosis now is something I've never heard of that the doctor calls hospital psychosis, which he says is a temporary condition.  He is very weak, and my Mom is planning on sending him to a rehabilitation center for a few weeks. Please continue to pray for his full recovery.  I'll let you know when he's home. 
Sheryl 


Update 6/11/01
Hi Charlotte,   My Dad was in the middle stages of Alzheimer's Disease when we found out he had colon cancer. My Mom asked me to specifically request prayer for Jesus to heal him of Alzheimer's too. God has done so much for him already; believe with us for this too. In fact, God has done so much for him that I'm just going to say that everyone seems amazed when they see him eating all by himself, talking coherently (even cracking jokes), and walking to the bathroom by himself.  He is in a rehabilitation center for 21 days at my Mom's request. She wants him to be strong when he returns home. He is doing VERY well. They gave them a private room with a little fold up bed for her to sleep on so she can stay with him, and of course she does. This is an incredible testimony for my brother who hasn't received Jesus as Savior yet. I want to thank everyone who has been lifting my Mom and Dad up to the Lord in prayer. I know that Jesus answers prayer, and that is what has brought us through this in victory; Jesus. By His stripes we are healed. Thank You Jesus!!!!!!  Sheryl PS My Mom called and also told me that when she thanked my Dad's doctor for all he had done, he told her that Jesus did it, that there was no medical reason why my Dad should still be with us today. PRAISE THE LORD!!!
Update 8/10/01
Hi Charlotte,  My Dad's still doing well.  He and my Mom are home now. Please pray for a cure for Alzheimer's Disease which he still suffers from. I encourage everyone to oppose stem cell research using human embryos.  Taking a human life to save another is wrong. A rich source of stem cells is the umbilical cord that is attached to the placenta after a baby is born.  Parents are now asked if they wish to donate these stem cells for research.  Those who support stem cell research should insist that stem cells be obtained this way. In Christ,  Sheryl

Heavenly Father I lift up Patricia to you in prayer. The doctor ran a cat-scan on her brain and an aneurysm was found. Tomorrow she goes in to see what the doctors have decided as the best medical procedure to follow up with. Lord I ask that you wrap Patricia in your arms of love. I ask that you draw her close to you. I ask that you remove any pain and discomfort that she may be having. If she has any fear I ask that you remove it and replace it with peace and calmness. I ask that you give wisdom and guidance to the doctors and medical staff as to the best treatment for her. Knowing how dangerous and life threatening aneurysms are I thank you Lord that hers was found before something happened. I ask that you cover her with your healing power from above. If healing is to come through the hands of a surgeon I ask that you guide his hands and bring her safely through free from complications and completely healed. I ask in the name of Jesus. Amen.
Update 6/5/01
Patricia goes back to the doctors on June 6th. They will tell her the decision that they have made at that time. I will keep you informed...Hugs my sister and God bless..Gail aka Little Doe
Update 7/16/01
Hello, I just sent in a request last night for the prayer page. Patricia will be operated on tomorrow at 11:30 California time and that is 1:30 Alabama time. The doctors decided to go in the side of her  head and try to block the aneurysm. Until it is over I will not have any knowledge of what is going on until her husband or children contact us here. As soon as I know the outcome I will get it to the Jesus list. Hugs and thank you for praying. God bless Little Doe
Update 7/17/01
My oldest sister just called, two emergency operations came in before my sister and her surgeon said he would rather wait until he was rested before doing Patricia's surgery.  Now we have to wait until they give another date. I know it must be harder on her with this on again, off again surgery than it is on me. I am resting in Jesus and His love. I am trusting Him for complete healing for her. I will let you and everyone else know when I hear something again.  Seems as if the enemy wants to discourage. I will count it as Gods blessings, I want the surgeon to be rested and clear minded and have steady hands. To God be the Glory Amen. Hugs Little Doe
Update 4/20/02

Hello Charlotte. I never knew you had so many poems. The music playing is calming also. You ask about my sister Patricia, She has lost sight in one eye totally and the vision is slowly fading in the remaining eye. she no longer drives. Praise God. Her heart is doing great after the touch and go she had during recovery from surgery. They managed to by pass one aneurysm in the brain and there are two more they are keeping an eye on. They say it would do more damage to operate then to wait and see. They may or may not burst. So all is in Gods hands. I appreciate you caring enough to ask about her. You are faithful and the day you step foot into heaven God will welcome you with the words "well done thy good and faithful servant" what a blessing. My love to you and God bless. Hugs Gail

To My Sister In CHRIST,
I praised the LORD for you in my prayer time for the past three days. I am awaiting a call from my daughter today. This is the third day Tommy John is receiving a strong dose of antibiotic by injection and having another blood culture done. I spoke to my daughter yesterday and she told me his white cell count was 15,000 above normal on Monday. I thought it was 10,000. Charlotte, the Lord is answering all of our prayers. It went down to 10,000 yesterday. He has to keep going for injections until it is back to normal. My daughter was a nervous wreck last night. Awaiting the pathologist report she will receive today on Tommy Johns blood report and dealing with the death of her father-in-law (yesterday) . I forwarded all your prayers to her for encouragement and support. The pastor of the church she attends came over to the house and answered a lot of questions she had in reference to, how she should tell her 5 yr. old. I will keep you updated on Tommy Johns report. Charlotte, I praise the LORD for servants as yourself. In CHRIST, Arlene
Update 5/17/01
My Loving and faithful servant and sister in CHRIST, My daughter just called me with the results of Tommy Johns blood test. PRAISE THE LORD! His blood level (white cells) are dropping to almost normal. There is an infection on and around his penis. He is on medication for that. The DR. assured her in a few days he will be fine. It is the infection from his body coming out, and he has had 4 days of strong antibiotics injected into him. Charlotte, I also received a note from Marilyn (I am sure a sister in CHRIST). Tonight we have our prayer meeting, and me and 4 other sisters are gonna praise the LORD for HIS mercy, love and faithfulness. And for HIS faithful and loving servant and sister, YOU. Charlotte, Please tell all of our sisters in CHRIST (Hilda, Marilyn, And others) of The LORD healing Tommy John. My eyes are filled with tears, reading all the prayers you have generated. You are right there is an army of prayer warriors. May the LORD bless HIS ministry through you. GOD is so good and faithful to HIS children. Love Your Sister In CHRIST, Arlene Please keep my name on file to be a part of your prayer chain. I am never to busy to pray.

Heavenly Father I lift up Sister Theresa's Missionary to Africa to you in prayer. As she was speaking Sunday my heart was truly touched and saddened as she described some of the situations there. We are so fortunate to live in a country where we are not persecuted for being Christians. So fortunate that we can freely share the good news of Christ with others without being murdered or tortured. She also spoke of the property there and the need to get the gospel out to the un-reached tribes. As she stood there and stated that she could not wait to get back to Kenya, I thought thank you Lord for sending people like Sister Theresa to reach out to the people of this country and to teach others to share the gospel with the un-reached. As your word says we are to go out into all the world with the gospel of Christ. The ones who go out in Kenya travel on foot and sleep out in the open at night until they reach their destination. The temperatures there are very hot and humid during the day and cold at night. They place their lives in danger as there are many poisonous snakes etc. in this country. Students are going out to the un-reached tribes with the gospel and many are accepting Jesus as their Lord and their Savior and Churches are being planted there. They are in need of vans which would be a great blessing. Lord I ask that you wrap Sister Theresa and her students in your arms of love. I ask that you place a hedge of protection around them and provide safe haven for them from those you are out to harm them. I ask that you bless these ministries of outreach and I ask that you open the hearts of the people to receive the message of the gospel of Christ. I pray for an outpouring of your Holy Spirit upon Africa. I pray for a revival and that many will come to accept Jesus as their Lord and their Savior. I pray that there will be great rejoicing throughout this country. I pray that they will stand together as one in Christ and love and uplift one another. I ask that you make provisions of vans to be given to help with their ministries. I ask that an adequate supply of food and other needs be provided.  I ask that you keep Sister Theresa and her students in your loving care. I ask in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Laurel was running a temp of over 102 yesterday evening and they packed her in ice to bring it down. They also set her ICU room temp down to about 45 degrees to help. As it stands now, the doctors are not sure what all is wrong with her as all of their tests are coming back negative. They want to do a brain surgery to see if they can find out anything from it. But we as the immediate family are saying No to it as they don't think she will make it through surgery. Please continue to keep Laurel in prayer as this is getting harder on all of us. Thanks & GOD Bless you All. In HIS Service, Dagmar 
Update 6/21
Dear Charlotte, I am sorry that I didn't get back to you sooner but have been very busy with Laurel at the hospital. I am just now getting to my way behind mail. Laurel is doing wonderfully Praise GOD! She is recovering from everything now & even the brain lesions are healing.  The doctors said once she was off life-support, that they didn't hold out much hope for her. But they are not GOD!  Apparently GOD isn't finished with her here just yet as HE is healing her. Such a blessing to see GOD'S mighty hand at work here with Laurel! Thank you so much for your prayers for Laurel and please continue to pray for her as she has a long road ahead of her yet. GOD Bless You In HIS Service, Dagmar

Laurel is getting better day by day. She still has a lot of confusion. But is now feeding herself, doing physical therapy again too. She has not been ambulatory for most of her 17 weeks in the hospital and cannot really stand nor walk. She is having to relearn to walk again. But with all the prayers of the saints & GOD grace, she has survived and will continue to heal. Her brain lesions have almost healed all the way now too, PTL! Thank you for asking about my friend Laurel. GOD Bless You Sister Charlotte YSIC, Dagmar
Update 2/7/02
Hi Charlotte,
Thanks for asking about Laurel. She is at home by the grace of GOD. But down hearted a lot most of the time. She isn't able to do everything like she did before, (housework & the like).  So when things she decides she wants to do and she can't, she cries. Breaks my heart so much..........  She is still very weak and her memory is not fully functional but she is able to walk, dress herself and things like that.  She is even getting better at bathing herself again. So please continue to keep her in prayer.  Thanks and GOD Bless You, Dagmar
Update 5/15/2003
Charlotte, Laurel is still having small seizures and the medications are not
helping. She also has a ruptured disc in her lower back. The doctor is leary of doing surgery due to the fact that he thinks she may become paralyzed. Her regular doctor is afraid that she may have a return case of the MRSA Staff Infection if not worse (MRSA is not curable).  Thank you for asking about her as I worry about her always as she is a good friend of mine for going on 25 yrs. May GOD Bless You Always  Dagmar

Update 1/20/05
 Dearest Sister Charlotte;
Laurel is still alive Praise GOD!  She has had major back surgery recently, she is a very stubborn and independent woman. She hasn't listened to the doctors and this has caused her to  mess up her back worse now. She has been diagnosed with epilepsy. She is doing a lot of falling and still will not stop doing her house work by herself.  Please continue to pray for her as I also am praying for her. Your sister  in Christ,  Dagmar

Heavenly Father I lift up Patty to you in prayer. She has been very ill for the past two weeks.  She had a reaction to a drug prescribed by her doctor and almost went into cardiac arrest, due to the fluid build up in her body, fortunately, it was taken care of in time. Thank you Lord!  The medication caused swelling in her legs and feet as well as a red, itchy rash. She has been unable to walk for almost two weeks now. She was taken off the medication and put on another kind, plus water pills to take the swelling down. The medication she was allergic to was working for her back, spine and leg problems now the doctor has to find another one that will work for her. She has been in severe pain since all of this has happened, Lord I ask that you wrap Patty in your arms of love. I ask that you draw her close to you. I ask that you give comfort to her and remove any pain and discomfort that she may be having. I ask that a new medication be prescribed that will remove her pain and discomfort. I ask that no allergic reactions occur. I ask that you give wisdom and guidance to the doctor treating her and lead him to find a procedure that will take care of her problems. I ask that she be approved to receive Social Security Disability, as she had to quit her job and is unable to work at any job right now due to the pain caused from her physical problems. If healing cannot be found through surgery or medication, I ask Lord that you cover her with your healing power from above. I ask that you heal her completely. I ask that Patty be a testimony to her doctor, family, friends and strangers of your healing power and of the power of prayer. I ask in the name of Jesus. Amen.
Update 5/20
 My Dearest Sister, Charlotte, Since I was taken off the medication that was working for me, nothing else has worked so far. I've taken so many different kinds of drugs and nothing takes the pain away. I went to my Doctor last week and requested an MRI to be done to find out "exactly" what my problem is. He knows I do not have medical insurance, quit my job, applied for Social Security Disability and really cannot afford the $1,200 for an MRI. He told me "Patty, you can't afford this, and I'm not going to let you spend your savings on something that may tell me what I already know. He thinks I have a ruptured disk in my back that needs surgical repair. He said he would call me on Thursday, this was on Monday, and he did call, and told me to call the MRI Center for an appointment. They were going to do the MRI for me free of charge!! Is this not God working thru my Doctor??? I do not know of any other Doctor that would do this!  I started crying and told him "He was one in a million and there would never be another Doctor like him". I had the MRI last night, so I should get the results back the first of next week. The MRI put me in so much pain because of the position I had to lay in for 30 minutes!! When it was done, I could not even lift myself off the table, the technician had to help me get up.  So now I'm just waiting still and praying for a miracle because I know the Lord can work miracles. He stopped the pain last year for 3 months and then it came back. If He can stop it for 3 months, He can stop it forever!! I've turned all this over to the Lord and whatever He decides is what will be. I will not know if I get approved for Social Security Disability for 60 to 90 days!! And if I do get approved, I will not get the first check until the sixth month!! (Retroactive from the date of my disability.....when I quit my job.) Thank you for your prayers, support and encouragement. May God Bless You Today, Tomorrow & Always, Patty
Update 5/27
Hi Prayer Warrior's, I would like to request a prayer for myself as I have to go into the hospital on Tuesday to get a Spinal Epidermal, and I need as many prayers as I can get, as I'm so scared to do this!!  (Anything around the spinal cord scares me!!)  I don't want to wake up paralyzed! I got to my Doctor today to find out the results of my MRI. There is more wrong with me than the Doctor knew although he guessed the one part, right on the mark!!  I have Grade II Spondylolisthesis at L5-S1  (these are the number of the vertebras in your back,) with coexistent severe disc degenerative change and L5 nerve root compression. Also, there is a left paracentric disc herniatinat T11-T12 with minor effacement of the ventral thecal sac. There is a facet arthropathy at the level of the lower lumbar spine. No cord compression is seen. (These last two are what my Doctor did not know) Makes a lot of sense doesn't it?  LOL  Medical jargon!! Anyway, he wants me to go the Emergency Room of the hospital on Tuesday and to call him before I go, and he is going to fax my MRI report over there, so they will see what is wrong with me, and will have to treat me instead of sending me home or doing another MRI on me. FIRST, I'm going to try the "Epidermal" with having cortisone injected into my lower back and spine." If that works, good!  He said it may and may not. They can give me up to three of these treatments. If all these treatments fail to help me, then I have to get back surgery and get a steel plate put into my back where the vertebras are on top of each other which is pinching my sciatic nerve. I was not ready to go into the hospital this quick but he said I should not wait any longer as it will only get worse!  He said if I had no insurance (which I don't) that they would send a social worker in to talk to me about Medicaid and get the paperwork started for me to be on Medicaid. I have not applied for Medicaid or Food Stamps yet, I was going to do this Tuesday.   As of Tuesday I will not be home to get any emails and I do not know how long I will stay in the hospital. Say a Prayer for me that the Great Master Healer of all times will guide the surgeons hands while he works on me!!! May God Bless You Today, Tomorrow & Always, Patty  
Update 6/14
Hi Charlotte, I'm doing better.  I go again today (Thursday) for my second treatment, there are 3 in all.  The first one has helped me though I still have to take pain pills. Until I can live without any pain medication I don't feel I'm cured. I'm hoping by the last treatment that it will be done and over with and I will not need the pain medicine.  I only want to return to be a normal, functioning person again and not have all the limitations I do now. Thanks for caring and your prayers. God Bless....May God Bless you Today, Tomorrow and Always, Patty

Heavenly Father I lift up Melinda to you in prayer. A D&C was scheduled for her today. She was pregnant and the baby died inside of her. The doctor said the cause was from carrying the baby to high.

I ask that you open the hearts of his supervisors to see their cruelness toward him and to feel remorse.

I ask that you draw him close to you. I ask that you remove any pain and discomfort that he may be having. I ask that you cover him with your healing power from above. All that can be done for Jimmy medically has been done and there is no known cure as yet for this type of cancer. Lord I come before your heavenly Throne on behalf of Jimmy. I ask that you remove all cancer from his body. I ask for miraculous healing. I ask that his healing 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 you give comfort to his family and draw each one close to you. I ask for complete healing. I ask in the name of Jesus. Amen.
Update 5/25
I just talked to Jimmy today. He is not doing too well at all. His blood count is way out of range and the doctors are being very careful to get it back to normal. The last time this happened, whatever they gave him trying to get it back to normal made him sicker than the treatments. He is supposed to have his last treatment next Wednesday but, as of now, they are not sure that he will be able to take it then. Please continue to pray for him, I know that God is in control and can take care of him. Thanks to everyone for your prayers. Thank You, in Christ, Buddy

Heavenly Father I lift up my sister-in-law Barbara to you in prayer. She has had bad lungs for quite a few years now. She is in the Intensive Care Unit and her condition is very serious. The doctor had her on the ventilator, they had to remove it at her request. My brother Fred is not holding up very well, he is afraid of losing her. Lord I ask that you wrap Barbara in your arms of love. I ask that you remove any discomfort  and pain that she may be having. I ask that you draw her close to you. I ask that you open her lungs so she can breathe freely. I ask that you cover her with your healing power from above.

UPDATE 5/9/01
I called my brother last night, Barbara is doing much better. She will be moved from the Intensive Care Unit today. Praise The Lord!!!! My family wishes to say thank you to all of you who lifted Barbara up to the Lord in prayer. He is not ready for her yet. In Christ Love Charlotte
Update 5/15
I spoke with my brother Fred tonight. Barbara is home from the hospital, she was released today. Praise The Lord! She is sleeping a lot and still very week. Please continue in pray for her. My brother and family wish to thank everyone who lifted Barbara up to the Lord in prayer. The doctors were amazed that she made it through as they thought her time was up. Please keep Fred in prayer also as he is the caretaker of Barbara. He does the cleaning, cooking etc., he has a bad heart which led to an early retirement. He also had a hemorrhage from the nose while Barbara was in the hospital which led him to the emergency room. They ran a cat scan today, the doctor suspects a broken blood vessel to be the cause. Took extra precautions because a few years back this happened and it was caused from a tumor which had to be removed. The doctor needs to make sure that the tumor has not came back. Thank you my dear brothers and sisters in Christ for your prayers! I love all of you. In Christ Love Charlotte
Update 5/25
I spoke with Barbara the other day, she is coming along very well. Said she feels ready to get back to Church. She gives all of the Glory and Praise to the Lord. Praise the Lord! Fred's scan showed no signs of a tumor. Please continue in pray for them and for the family. Some of their children have back slidden and some need salvation. Thank you for your prayers for my family. In Christ Love Charlotte

Update 6/12
Barbara continues to improve. She is finally back to Church and praising the Lord for seeing her through. Her son Charlie went to the altar this past Sunday, he accepted Jesus as his Lord and his Savior. Thank you Lord for his salvation! In Christ Love Charlotte

Heavenly Father I lift up Paul to you in prayer. Paul had been having some problems with an old pacemaker embedded in his left chest, it was not operating and some of the wires had come lose.  He has had several surgeries to remove these wires. The latest surgery was done on April 25th, he was scheduled to go back to have the bandage and staples removed next Tuesday. He had been feeling weak and was experiencing some uncontrollable shaking and freezing cold spells. He went to see his doctor on Thursday and he was given new medications and they did some blood work. The doctor said that Paul has an infection and it is in the blood stream already, he was admitted to the hospital. The doctor who saw Paul in the hospital said they suspect there is an infection inside his heart, it is very serious and very dangerous. They are taking blood to try to figure out what bacteria has invaded his system so they can give him the proper antibiotics. He is on antibiotics now, intravenously. The doctor said he also suspects there may be more lose wires in the pacemaker and that they have a specialist who could go in and remove them. Lord I ask that you wrap Paul in your arms of love. I ask that you draw him close to you. I ask that you cover him with your healing power from above. I ask that you give wisdom and knowledge to the doctors and medical staff who are caring for Paul. I ask that the proper antibiotics be found and that through them he will be healed completely. I ask that no wires be found lose so Paul will be spared from having to have surgery again. I ask that you give comfort to his wife Teri, their sons, their daughter and his sister Hilda and family and draw each one close to you. I ask for complete healing. I ask in the name of Jesus. Amen.
5/8 Update
Family, friends, brothers and sisters in Christ. The doctors have isolated the bacteria and are treating it with an antibiotic through an IV. The wires left in the left chest are infected and apparently caused the infection throughout. The cardiologist has indicated they will do surgery on Thursday, May 10, 2001 at 12:00 noon to remove completely the useless pacemaker as well as the one that does function as they are concerned it may be infected too. Not only that, the doctor says it's all just a piece of junk now - it's safety has been compromised.  They will insert a new pacemaker, state of the art, on the left side, under the rib cage, next to the heart. The cardiologist says it will be more accessible with less invasion to the body if they should ever have to go in again. The surgery will be just like having a bypass so he is going to be very, very uncomfortable and in a lot of pain after. I ask that you pray for Paul's health, the surgeon's hands and the staff that they may all be guided by the Greatest Physician of all; for comfort and peace for his family; and that the Lord will keep Paul close to His own loving Heart.  It is difficult for me to ask for the proper prayer, but God knows what's in my heart and I trust He will lead each of you to prayer.  I thank God for isolating the bacteria so quickly and I know that His Hand will be in all of this. I love you all! Your Sister in Christ, Hilda
Update 5/14/01
Charlotte, Paul was doing really well this afternoon when I saw him. I saw him for the first time yesterday afternoon and he did not look too healthy, sort of very pale and weak. His cardiologist came in and told us the reason for this paleness is because he lost a lot of blood during surgery. Consequently he was a little anemic but they were going to give him a pint of blood.  He reassured Paul that the blood would be good blood, not tainted in any way. Today, his color is much improved and he was joking and carrying on. He hasn't been able to eat much but he's in good spirits, Praise God! Thank you, dear friend, for caring. There were so many prayers for Paul that I know the Lord is still sorting through all of them (LOL)! I will keep you posted. Love Hilda
Update 5/15/01
Charlotte, Terri just called to let me know Paul is doing better, however Teri is upset. She said one of the doctors on the cardiology team taking care of Paul told her he was concerned that there may be an infection in one of the heart valves. He wants to do a procedure this Thursday to check it out. Teri doesn't think that his body should be subjected to more invasion than is necessary. I advised her to call Paul's surgeon and ask him to speak with the cardiologist and if they both agree then he should have it done. Please continue in prayer for Paul. Love Hilda
Update 6/1
Hi Charlotte!  Paul is doing a lot better. He is still in the hospital so the doctors can monitor how well the antibiotic is working from day to day.  He has been told he can come home next Friday, June 8th.  It's been a long 4 weeks already and he is anxious to get home. I was waiting to hear more before sending an update to all the wonderful prayer warriors that have been praying for Paul. I had a set back myself last week and wound up in the hospital on the same floor with Paul.  I was only there three days.  I felt ill over the weekend and did a lot of resting; then on Monday the 21st I really felt bad in the afternoon so I called the doctor and was told to go on in to the office. The doctor did an EKG and didn't like the results so he send me straight to the hospital. Tuesday morning they did an angiogram and found the main coronary artery had a 95% blockage, so then inserted a stent. I came home Wednesday and have been resting a lot. Today I went to my regular doctor and had a wonderful checkup - blood pressure was 120/70, pulse rate was 72, and he did an EKG and said it was perfect - showed it to me so I could see how beautiful it was!  He gave me a list of foods I can have and those I must avoid and told me to start walking 10 minutes a day for 30 days; then I am to increase the time to 15 or 20 minutes. He says my body will tell me how much to speed up. I will see the cardiologist on June 19th and I just know everything will be just fine. Those three days really put me behind on my emails and some got deleted. I was allowed 30 to 40 minutes each day on the computer and today I got an hour. Slowly but surely, because the Lord is walking with me. I love you Charlotte! Hilda
Update 6/14
Dear Charlotte,  Paul is now at home - came home June 7th.  While he was still in the hospital, I had to be rushed to the same hospital.  Turns out I had a 95% blockage in the main coronary artery and was Paul's neighbor on the same floor for 2 1/2 days.  They inserted a metal stint in my artery to allow the blood to flow through to the heart.  I am doing very well and will see the cardiologist next week on the 20th. The Lord has given me a second chance to get things right, Charlotte, and I am ever so grateful.  I  walk ten minutes a day and can do pretty much anything my body tolerates.  Paul was still in the hospital when we got a telephone call from my brother Carlos' wife to tell me he was in the ICU in Fort Worth.  He suffered a mild heart attack in the wee hours of Monday morning, June 4th, another on Wednesday while his daughter was visiting him in the ICU.  Thursday morning they did a single by-pass.  His main coronary artery was 99% blocked and the blockage was from 3 to 4 inches long.  By God's grace, he did not have any heart damage.  I talked to him this afternoon and he is doing fine except that they are having trouble stabilizing the oxygen in his blood.  He is an asthmatic and they are controlling that really well.  As soon as they stabilize the oxygen they will release him.  At this time the doctors are considering sending an oxygen tank home with him when he does leave the hospital.  But it will all depend on how well he does between now and the actual release date. I've been hit on all sides!  I am the oldest, then Paul and then Carlos and all three of us in the hospital for similar problems.  Paul and Carlos had much more serious problems than I did but if I hadn't gone in when I did, the doctor said I would have had a heart attack.  God be praised, He has never left my side, Charlotte. And He was with my brothers all along.  On top of all this, our daughter moved out to an apartment of her own on June 11th and our son and his friend Becky arrived this morning for a 10 day stay.  We are getting ready to go the Rio Grande Valley where our son and daughter will be Godparents to a cousin.  When we get back on the 19th I'll have the afternoon to rest up before my appointment the next day with the cardiologist.  Once our son leaves Ruben and I can start concentrating on cleaning, painting and rearranging rooms.  We are going to take our time!  Well, there you have it!  I get tired easily but am just fine if I just sit and rest for a few minutes every now and then.  Paul is scheduled to see his cardiologist next week also and has been told not to drive for 2 weeks.  He is 'chomping at the bit' because he too gets tired very easily and has to take it easy.  They had planned to attend the Christening this weekend but Paul's not allowed to travel that far yet. Take care, my friend, and help me praise the Lord for He has done marvelous things for us!!!!! Love, Hilda

Heavenly Father I lift up Carter to you in prayer. He is nine months old. Tuesday, March 20, his mother Rachel received a call at work from the sitter who was crying, saying that Carter had a fever, diarrhea, vomiting and was having seizures. Rachel said when she got there he was very unresponsive, he wasn't even blinking. She rushed him to the hospital where he was moved on to another hospital. Several test were done on Tuesday and by Wednesday the parents were told that he had Rotavirus. This is usually just an intestinal virus, and was the cause of the vomiting and diarrhea, which he was still having.  After a few days in the hospital they thought the virus would run it's course and he'd be fine. They continued to do tests to see what caused the seizures and a very low sugar level. Thursday, March 22, they placed him in the Intensive Care Unit, the doctors said the virus caused Hepatitis, which caused his liver to swell. He has been placed on the # 1 spot on the nationwide donor list for a liver transplant. Now they are just having to wait for a suitable donor. Lord I ask that you wrap this precious child in your arms of love. I ask that you give comfort to him and remove any pai that he is having. This little baby is in serious condition and won't make it without a liver transplant. Lord I ask that you cover him with your healing power from above. I ask that you heal his liver so a transplant won't be needed. I ask that you give comfort to his parents, Rachel and Jamie. I ask that you draw them close to you. I come before your Heavenly Throne and I ask for miraculous healing. I pray that Cater's healing will be a testimony to the doctors, medical staff, family, friends and strangers of your healing power and of the power of prayer. I pray that when he is old enough his parents will share his testimony with him and he in turn will tell others. If healing is to come from having a transplant I ask that you make provisions for him. I ask that you guide the surgeons hands and bring him through the transplant free from complications and completely healed. Lord I ask for complete healing. I ask in the name of Jesus.
