Saturday Evening

Charlie Banks update:

Praise God that he has been taken off of antibiotics.
Pray that his body will be cleansed of any foreign germs.

Praise God he is sitting up and changing positions in the bed.
Pray for Dad to be patient as he makes “small steps” towards recovery.

Praise God he took a couple of steps with a walker.
Pray for God to strengthen his muscles and harden his bones.

Praise God that there has been no infection or blood clots to this point.
The doctor said that day 8-day 20 are the most crucial days for blood clots and infection.
Pray for healthy blood and constant circulation.

Dad’s doctor said today that he may be able to fly home on November 1.
He may be released as early as Monday, but he will stay in Bucuresti.
The home we lived in last year is vacant, so he will stay there.
The doctor and physical therapist will visit him in the home for the next three-five weeks.

Praise God for a church family, friends and relatives in Georgia who are taking care of many details for Dad.
Pray that Dad’s mind can rest at ease full of God’s peace, as others handle his business and affairs.

Praise God for His prayer partners that are here, there and everywhere!
We have been amazed to receive emails from people we do not know who are located all over this world.

Thank you for loving our family and praying for us all.
Don’t forget to pray for the Gypsies (Rroma)!!
