Hi, here's the info concerning Tanner Diagnosis:  Viral Encephalitis In Intensive Care Unit Inflammation of the brain Not in a coma, but unconscious - can hear those around him Medications:  Steroids for the inflammation, anti-conversant to keep seizures from occurring, also medicine to reduce fever. Jackie looked up Viral Encephalitis in her text books...it said you can get this from a mosquito bite, typically affects the very young or elderly. Takes 5-15 days for symptoms to show. That's all I know so far. I'll let you know if we find out anything else. Thanks again!!!!
Update 10/3/01
I just heard from my son in law about his cousin's baby boy Tanner (8 months old) He is the one I asked prayer for that had the high fever and started having seizures. They still have him on the ventilator and they did an MRI on him. They seem to think he has a "spot" in 2 places. One is his short memory spot and one in his motor skills. I am praying they are just bruising from the seizures. I wanted to update you on this. PLEASE keep this baby in your prayers Barb
Update 10/20/01
I just got word from Tanner's uncle. They feel the spots on his brain MIGHT be due to the seizures. They still have to run more tests. Also he had a stroke the other day. Not sure why. He opened his eyes for the first time and reached out his hand and seems to responding to voices. The think now it might be a genetic (?) thing. Please continue lifting Tanner up to the Lord in prayer. Love, Barb
Update 2/24/02
I just heard from my son- in -law John about his cousin's baby (Tanner). They told him only that he is being fed through a tube in his stomach and he has 75% brain damage.

Thanks so much!

Update 2/13/03
Tanner has had a lot of health problems since he was born two years ago the beginning of this month. This morning his Mom went to change him and he gave her a beautiful smile.

They told the family that he could be on life support breathing forever but there was no brain function. Tanner is in the arms of our Savior ....whole and happy.

Heavenly Father lift up Nikki's cousin Timmy to you in prayer. He was at the World Trade Center when it collapsed yesterday. He works for the NYPD and was at City Hall on duty when he heard the explosions and ran down to help. When he arrived there he ran inside to help some victims and that's when the building collapsed. The NYPD has informed his wife that they know Timmy is buried underneath all of the rubble, in fact they have an idea of where he is but the problem is they can't get to him.  Lord I ask that you wrap Timmy in your arms of love. I ask that he be found safe and alive. I ask that you place a hedge of protection around all of the rescue workers and fireman who are reaching out to help find people among all of the rubble. I pray Lord that Timmy and many more will be found alive. I ask that you give comfort to each family that has a missing loved one. I ask that you wrap them in your precious arms of love. Lord you are our comfort and our strength in time of trouble and right now Lord strength is needed to keep our fellow Americans going. I ask that you place a hedge of protection around the workers and keep them safe from harm. I ask that you give them strength to endue whatever situation comes upon them. I ask in the name of Jesus. Amen. One of Nikki's favorites Psalm 27 "The Lord is my light and my salvation-whom shall I fear? The Lord is the Stronghold of my life-of whom shall I be afraid?  When evil men advance against me to devour my flesh, when my enemies and my foes attack me, they will stumble and fall.  Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear; though war break out against me even then will I be confident.  One thing I ask of the Lord, this is what I seek; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple.  For in the day of trouble, he will keep me safe in his dwelling;  he will hide me in the shelter of his tabernacle and set me high upon a rock.  Then my head will be exalted above the enemies who surround me; at his tabernacle will I sacrifice with shouts of joy; I will sing and make music to the Lord.  Hear my voice when I call, O Lord; be merciful to me and answer me.  My heart says of you "Seek his face!"  Your face, Lord, I will seek.  Do not hide your face from me, do not turn your servant away in anger; you have been my helper.  Do not reject me or forsake me, O God my Savior. Though my father and mother forsake me, the Lord will receive me.  Teach me your way, O Lord; lead me in a straight path because of my oppressors.  Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes, for false witnesses rise up against me, breathing out violence.  I am still confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.  Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord." Thank you everyone...My prayers go out to all of those working hard out there, all of the family's and all of those who are injured and who are still missing beneath all of the rubble and debris. Nikki

Hi everyone,  Just wanted to give you an update on my Mom, Holly Cole. Last night was kind of a rough one for her, she had a terrible headache and her blood pressure rose to 197/120. They were able to give her something for the pain, but her headache didn't go away and her blood pressure didn't go down until this afternoon. I actually got to speak with her this evening. She sounded good. She is staying at the hospital for the night while the doctor's wait for some test results to come back...her blood pressure is still high, about 169/95, so they want to keep her in to monitor that. She had an MRI done today, if the results come back negative, her doctor can only assume that all of this is due to a medication interaction. Please be praying that her MRI comes back normal or negative! She sounds in good spirits and was laughing with me on the phone! Thanks everyone for your continued prayers. I'll be sure to keep you all updated. I told her that I'd written all of you and read to her all of your responses. She was happy to hear from you all!  Thanks so much! Dawn Update 8/25/01
Hi all, Just wanted to let you know that my Mom was released today to come home. Her blood pressure is down to 42/94 and is being controlled with medication. Her MRI results came back somewhat unclear, her doctor is looking into it with her. Please continue to pray that the Lord will provide for my Mom and family. I'll be sure to let you know if anything changes. Thanks, Dawn

Heavenly Father I lift up John to you in prayer. Three years ago he was diagnosed with Polyneuropathy, which destroys the discs in the spine and also destroys the muscles in the body. He is in constant pain. He has applied for assistance many times with many appeals and gets nowhere.  About a year ago he found a doctor that said Prozac would help but not cure his problem, the doctor was giving him samples as his finances would not cover a prescription. The doctor moved away about six months ago and so did his access to Prozac.  July 4th, he felt he was at the end of his endurance and wanted to die, his parents got him help and  they are working with many people of influence to get him more help, including the maker of Prozac, Eli Lily. He is scheduled to see Eli on Friday to see if he can help him in any way. Lord I ask that you wrap John in your arms of love. I ask that you cover him with your healing power from above. I ask that you draw him close to you. I ask that you remove any pain and discomfort that he may be having. All that can be done for John medically has been done as there is no cure for this disease, therefore I come before your Heavenly Throne on John's behalf believing that through you all things are possible and I ask for miraculous healing.

Heavenly Father I lift up John Parker Luke Robinson to you in prayer. On May 18th, 2001, he was taken to the hospital because of an earache that he'd had for about three weeks. He had already been taken to the doctor a total of two other times, each time he was given a different medication. The earache continued. On May 18th at the hospital blood work was done, his parents were told that something was wrong and they needed to get him to Vanderbilt University as soon as possible. John's parents did as they were instructed. They were told that Luke had a 99% chance of having either leukemia or a bacterial infection that kills bone marrow. After a few more tests Luke was diagnosed with leukemia. He is presently at St. Judes Children's Research Hospital going through chemotherapy treatments everyday.

I spoke with Ann today, the results of the biopsy show that the kidney is being rejected.  She is out of the ICU but placed near the nurses station where she is checked on frequently.

Heavenly Father I lift up Joey to you in prayer. He is in his forties and has been diagnosed with throat cancer. He has a permanent tracheotomy tube in the throat, cannot eat food and must be fed through a tube in his stomach. He cannot talk unless he covers the tracheotomy tube in the neck.  He is scheduled for surgery again on Tuesday, August 7th. He has recently accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior. Lord I ask that you wrap Joey 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 guide the surgeons hands and bring him through safely, I come before your Heavenly Throne on behalf of Joey believing that through you all things are possible and I ask that you heal him completely. I ask for a speedy recovery. I ask that he be a testimony to the doctor's, medical staff, family, friends and strangers of your healing power and of the power of prayer. I thank you for Joey's salvation and I pray that he will grow strong in your word. I ask that you place Christians in his path who will be there for him to reach out with love and kindness. I ask for complete healing. I ask in the name of Jesus. Amen. 
Update 8/8/01
Hi, I was just going to write you. Joey suddenly got a deep impression that going into surgery the next morning would not be good.  He had had oral surgery a few days before that and the dentist said it would be OK, but the pain and some infection in the teeth roots was still present.  Joey was afraid the anesthesia may cause him some problems, he was not comfortable thinking he would be in worse pain. He drove to the Dr's office and postponed the surgery. God definitely took over. He will have the surgery in two weeks.  He is still very nervous.  There is much pain.  The problems also are contributed by the fact that the radiation burned his throat so badly, the skin never healed. He has two openings ... one for the trachea and the other is a hole about a half inch above the trachea, that will not heal. The skin is burned out and too thin, he must hold both openings just to help talk.  He sounds horrible. Many of us cannot understand him at all.  He is so disillusioned by now, hanging on by a thread.  Yet he keeps working. I do believe God gave us more time, and Himself more time to work with Joey, through this delay!! Thank you and please continue in prayer for Joey. Jerrilynn
Update 9/22/01
Hi Darling Charlotte: Joey is in Ohio with his mother. He is ill.  They found an abscess in his stomach, which is a hard lump.  He has a food tube in that same area, for liquids. He is to go to NYC to speak with a surgeon concerning the holes in his throat and for the greatest hope, a way to have a throat transplant to remove all the built up scar tissue, which closes his throat. The plastic surgery will close one damaged area where the radiation from years back, caused one of the holes. He is very depressed.  There seems to be no way doctors can help him.  He wants to be well.  He wants to eat normally and talk normally.  With no trachea tube, no feeding tube, no fevers, no abscesses, no infections, and no pain. When he comes home, he will have to return to work to help pay for this trip.  May God please be merciful to Joey and cause a healing to take place, if even little by little. Bless you Charlotte for your goodness and compassion to those in need of prayer. Thank you dear friend... jerrilynn

Charlotte: Joey is not doing well.  He now has pneumonia again.  He gets it every few months.  He is filled with many pain pills and it has caused him to become dependent upon them.  Yet, he talks about God with great favor. He wants life to change for him.  He wants to eat by mouth and swallow.  He wants to smell food and fragrances. He cannot do this. For now, while he must be fed thru the stomach, this is the best, because it helps him overcome the craving for food, when he cannot smell, as long as  he breathes thru the trachea tube in his throat. No one really knows what happens to a person in this condition. One day, in the parking lot at work, his food tube came out and all the fluid in his stomach came out all over his suit and pants.  He was so embarrassed.  He had to turn around, go past all the others coming in, and rush to his car.  He had to go home and back to the dr. to reinsert the tube. Please continue to send prayer requests for him. He has come a long way, now praying to God almost every day.  He wants to go home for Christmas and I pray he will be well enough to do that. Thank you my darling friend, for caring and asking about him.  He is getting so depressed. God bless you, Charlotte, and have a great holiday. jerrilynn
Update 2/19/02
Hi Charlotte: Joey made an appt to speak with a pastor (first time) since being a kid.  He is better physically, no more lung congestion.  But still on lots of pain pills. The biggest miracle is that this entire long incident over the Christmas holidays, has been used by God to bring him to God. Joey wants to quit work. He asks, "Why is it that when I do more praying than I ever have, and turn my heart to God, more things go wrong than before?"  His health, his supervisor/friend was transferred and now Joey has a "new Pharoah" over him, who couldn't care less about Joey's health. Then a charge out of the blue came from a creepy girl accusing him of harassment and the board of review would not even listen to the circumstances. They just wrote him up without letting him protest. Here, I think, is the beginning of satan's war on a new believer.  We hate to mention it to those coming to God, for fear they will faint under the news.  But it came real fast in Joey's life. He is still hoping for a throat transplant this year in NY.  He wants me to come with him.  But he knows this will be a hit or miss situation.  And he might not have the ability to recuperate after the operation.  He just wants to eat like normal people do, and taste food again. He wants to quit work now and go on soc. sec. disability, but knows he might just get depressed even more without anything to do.  So he plugs along, no matter how ill he feels. He gets no sleep. Went five days without it. Joey has to get off the pain pills.  He is on those that 60 Min. talked about, (or 20/20)... the Oxycontin.  They were never marketed as being addictive.  Joey needs prayers still.  He has a big chapter to face in his life yet. God bless you Charlotte. Jerrilynn.

Heavenly Father I lift up Gilbert and Cynette to you in prayer. They are brother and sister and the choices they are making in their lives at this time are not good ones. Gilbert is dating a Witch, he was attending Church and was a Youth Leader in the Church and that has came to a halt. Cynette may have returned to her old life style of drinking and drugs. She will not talk to her mother Carol on the phone or visit with her, this leaves Carol to believe that all of the signs are there.  Lord I ask that you wrap Gilbert in your arms of love. I ask that you draw him close to you.  I ask that you place a hedge of protection around him and free them from the schemes of the evil one. It seems that Satan is prowling around in full force as he has pulled Gilbert away from the Church and placed him with a witch. I ask that you remove Gilbert from the presence of this woman and I ask that you place the scripture in his mind that he is to be equally yoked and point out to him that he is of light and she of darkness. I ask that you open his mind to see that he does not belong with her. I ask that you place a desire in him to return to Church and to his ministry as Youth Leader. I ask that you place a desire in his heart to witness the Good News of Christ to the woman who practices witch craft. I ask that you open her heart to feel, open her ears to hear and open her eyes to see the wonderful love of Christ. I pray for her salvation. I ask that you wrap Cynette in your arms of love. I ask that you draw her close to you. I ask that you remove the desires for drugs and alcohol from her and replace desire with will power to turn away from them. I ask that you open her eyes to see the harm that comes from the use of drugs and alcohol. I ask that you place a desire in her heart to seek comfort and strength from you. I ask that you give her the strength to overcome. I ask that you give comfort to Carol during this difficult time in her live. I ask in the name of Jesus. Amen.

UPDATE 8/5/01
Shelby is at home now and doing fine. She had a virus and at her age it was so scary when the doctors did not know what was causing her fever. I want to say Thank you to all those  who prayed for my sweet little Shelby while she was in the hospital.  Also want to give a great big Thank You to our Heavenly Father above who gave my baby the healing she needed.  Also want to thank Him as Dakota, her brother, age 3, was running fever last night like he was going to catch the virus she had and now he is all back to normal. Thank you Father for such a quick healing in my babies, Shelby and Dakota.  We Love You Father! Love you all, Chasity (Shelby's Mom)
