BACK FROM BREAK WITH 4 PRAYER REQUESTS & UPDATES

Hi there!

I had planned to come back today

with some fun stories about

my time away.

However, some things take

precedence over fun things.

Below are three people that 

really need prayer

and healing thoughts and

well-wishes.

The first is Erich.

You can read his original story here.

That was well over

A YEAR+ AGO.

You can imagine the angst

his mom, Carole, is going through.

That feeling of being helpless

and not being able to help your child.

Here is part of her latest email to me.

Things are not going the way I have prayed they would here.  Erich went for his usual scan after 12 weeks on maintenance treatment with the antigen since the radiation and antigen had made the cancer inactive.  They opted then for maintenance treatment for the next 12 weeks. That being completed he went for another scan and that was not good..  

The scan was done a week ago Friday, and we went to the oncologist for results a week later.  That was a few days ago.  There was reported to be an enlargement---  they type of which they cannot tell-- whether it is the tumor growing or scar tissue.  A new chemo BOTH bi-weekly and the antigen treatment again is prescribed.  Then another scan.  If that works, OK.  If not, the surgery is facing him .  If he chooses to have it as it is a horrible surgery that makes even the oncologist wince.  Hence, for this total last effort via medicines they can recommend.

Pray for her as well as for Erich.

Also, please continue praying for 

my friend, Jettie.

You can read about her latest surgery here.

Look at that baby face!

I won't tell you she is 70 and I kinda hate her for looking like that at 70! 

They think her daughters are her sisters.

Her surgeries have been rife with 

complications and this one is no exception.

She was hospitalized for several days

after she was released for an infection.

There are two types of bacterial infections

at the surgical site

and she is being treated with an IV at home.

If this doesn't work, the next step is 

NOT GOOD.

Also, Ted (same post) has had a 

rough road to recovery.

His meds are on hold at this point

because of some kidney problems.

Pray that the problem is resolved

so that he can continue on his

treatment plan.

Susie (She Junks) is holding on!

As always,

if you don't pray,

please send up healing thoughts

and well wishes.

Thank you all so much

and I will be back with some

'stories' in a day or so...

after I catch up on my work load here.

Love you guys----

You are the best followers EVER!!!!

Always in my prayers - all of those with need. As all of you all have included my Mom in yours as well - she had 1st chemo, did not go well, treatment stopped 1/2 thru last Thursday, sent to ER, admitted with afib off the chart, got it under control by Saturday so they released her, and she had rough night Sat nite with some chemo side effects but as she only had 1/2 a treatment not as bad as could be ... but it is looking like her cardiologist will be putting the kabash on the chemo.. which leaves her with 6 mos, maybe a year left... - we will know more this week. So I share my prayers with ALL of you...
