Baby Rowan

Bill,
I just talked to Brian.  Rowan does have a line infection but also has a septic infection in his blood.  His fever is down but he will be in the Methodist Hosp. for at least 5-10 days.  He is active and playing in his bed and takes someone to be at his side constantly as the tubes get tangled all the time.  He has his minature trains (choo-choo’s) that he lines up on a tray in his bed. Carrie’s mother, niece and nephew are visiting from Ohio and her mom is able to help with Zoe and Ian with quality time.  Please keep Rowan on your prayer list. 

Thanks,

Judy    

Harold Zirkel

Please put Rev. Harold Zirkel on our prayer list.  He is taking physical therapy for a pinched nerve in his back.  We pray for his health and that his back pain be removed.

 Thanks, Lu

Marion Maffet

I would like to have Marion Maffet of Medina added to the prayer list.  She is in the hospital in San Antonio.  She had surgery and had a stroke during surgery.  She is having allot of trouble talking and moving her left side.  They will know more Sunday morning hopefully, about how bad the stroke is.  She could sure use the prayers.
 
Thanks, Theresa

Mark Jilek

Merry Langlinais called in a prayer request saying that Mark Jilek is in REAL serious condition and has been moved to Audie Murphy VA Hospital in SA. He is incredible pain and they can’t figure out where or how to treat his infection. (Mark’s wife works at Apple Store)

Friday Update

I just got word that Lucy Dabney passed away around noon today. The funeral is scheduled on Monday in Wichita with a graveside Wednesday in Corpus Christi. Let’s keep those prayers up for the entire Dabney clan.

Let’s also continue to pray for Tommy Payne (recovering from a stroke)… as well as Donna and Sondra as they travel back and forth to care for him. Many of you know that Donna is one of those silent strong and dependable workers who never complains… but the load must be heavy on them.

Lastly, let’s not forget to pray for our country this fourth of July. Thank God we live in the land of the free and the home of the brave. May we always be one nation under God!
