Follow Up: Lynda Coates

I just talked to Fourth Coates and they are waiting to see Lynda’s Internist in Fredericksburg. They should meet with him around 2:00 PM this afternoon to see if there are any more tests or treatment options that they can do. Lynda has not been feeling well in months and needs our prayers.

Lynda Coates

This was just forwarded to me from Darlene Stevens. More information when it becomes available.

Prayers for Lynda Coates: She’s been taken to the emergency room and she’s needing immediate prayer for her health. She’s very weak right now. Prayers that her doctors will discern the cause of her illness, or that doors open to doctors who can help her, and will be listening to her.

Saturday: Don Bailey’s Daughter

I got a call from Don Bailey. He’s in Houston with his daughter Donna Terrell. Some of you remember a few months (November) back that Donna had a massive stroke. She lost use of most of her left side. This week she had another surgery on her brain and she was kept in a drug induced coma. Now they’re having trouble getting her out of that comma. Let’s keep Donna and Don in our prayers.

This also came in from Jack and Nickie Binion about Stephanie’s surgery: 

As you know, my daughter-in-law, Stephanie, underwent jaw surgery yesterday in Dallas.  Greg call last night and reported that the operation went very well and she is in the process of recovering for the next 3 to 5 days in the hospital.  Hopefully, she will be able to come home sometime next week.  This is a two part surgical procedure and she will be receiving new artificial parts for her jaw area in about two months.  Please keep her in your prayers during this jaw rebuilding process.

Little Boy: Ashton

This came from Percy Smerek in Stonewall to pray for:

Please place the small child and his family on your prayer list at home and in your church. He is in critical condition and prayer seems to be helping
him through it all. God bless you and your families;

This came from his family

Hello everyone,

Please Help!!! We need your Prayers and everyone else’s that you can think to send this email to!

I have spoke to you about little Ashton Young, who was critically injured when he was accidently run over by a bulldozer.. He is in the hospital in
Shreveport,La. and has already undergone 3 major operations, one to repair his little backside(his bottom) which was literally torn off by the dozer,, one to repair and put a plate in his pelvic area, which was crushed,  and one to repair a hole that had been torn in his intestines..  And now tonight , he is going to have to have about half of his liver removed…..

The doctors are amazed that this tough little guy has survived thus far… One of them made such a remark to Ashton’s mother, Danielle. He
said that most other children couldn’t have survived such trauma,  he said you must have alot of prayers being lifted up for him..  She said
you are right, we do….. But we need more!!!!! So Please ,,, Pray,Pray.Pray!!!! We know God answers prayers daily sometimes,moment by
moment…

The family is staying at a place that is kind of like a Ronald McDonald house so they can stay close to the hospital when they leave to rest..

The hospital has asked for blood to be donated in Ashton Young’s name…. There is a Huge shortage and they had to drive to Arkansas to
get 3 pints of blood for him the other night…. Also , our Pastor opened an account for them today at Community Trust Bank ,,, the account
is listed as “Robert Spicer and Ashton Young account” The family will be given a debit card to use when they need things. And of course, for
medical bills.

Little Ashton is in a drug induced comma, so thank God he is not in pain…. The doctors  say they will keep him in this state for a month,
then if all goes well, he will be in the hospital for another month. Hopefully he will be able to walk again as there was no spinal injuries,
which is a miracle in itself!

There will be a blood drive at our church, Chenerie Baptist, in West Monroe, starting at 9 A.M. on May the 25th.  Please help in any way that
you can….. And please,please pray!

Thank you, and God Bless you and everyone that you are kind enough to pass this email to.

Love,

Loretta Cupples

p.s. I forgot to mention this, but it goes without saying, that Ashton is in intensive care.
