Jason Alford learned he severely stretched three of four ligaments in his knee and fractured his tibia. He is now wearing a $1,000.00 knee brace and using crutches. Pray for him as he is unable to put any weight on his leg for the next 8-12 weeks. Thank God that, as of now, surgery seems not to be required.
Jordon Russell, son of IMB missionaries on stateside assignment in Texas, had surgery to remove his tonsils Monday in Texas. Bleeding problems developed. A tracheotomy and ventilator became necessary. Jordon is still sedated, but hopefully will be able to awaken soon. He will be unable to talk for a while. His vital signs have remained strong. For that, his family is very thankful. Please continue to pray for Jordon and his family as they continue to face these unexpected complications. (Jordon is a recent graduate of Bucharest Christian Academy in Romania.)
Kyle Brabham’s surgery is scheduled for 8:00 A.M. in the morning at North Oaks. Kyle’s family will appreciate your prayers.
