Monday

Whatever your hand finds to do,

do it with all your might.

~Ecclesiastes 9:10 (NIV)~

Stacey Scarle and her mother, Joanie

Well this will be a big week for us. Stacey has her last (8th) chemo on Wed. We  will all be so glad to get that part over with. She really has done very well considering all she has been through We really appreciate all the calls, cards, thoughts and prayers. She has been very strong during this trying time. She has been blessed with very good people during her treatment and we are very thankful for that.

Also Wed. I should get the results (CT and lung function). So hopefully by Thanksgiving we will have lots to be thankful for. I still feel ok, no pain or discomfort just short of breath and hoarse.  All of my tests results have been good except the pulmonary function. They did think I had a polyp on my vocal cord but are now not sure. I’ll just be glad to find out what it is and start fixing it .   Pat and Darla have been great , taking me to every appointment despite their busy schedule . I don’t know what we would do without them. I would also like to ask for prayers for two friends who have just received cancer diagnosises. One with lung and one with cervical. It seems that everyone has someone who has been touched by this disease. Lets all pray for a cure to this terrible disease.

Jadon’s Story

I am doing much better. I still have a cough but my sinus infection is starting to clear up. Thank you God. My brother is feeling better too. Hopefully we can stay well now. We still haven’t heard back from Boston yet. My mommy is going to call them Monday. No one ever wants to call you back. You have to aggravate them until they do. So as soon as we hear from them I will let you know. We haven’t gotten all my blood work back yet. We should get everything Monday. I’m not nearly as tired anymore. I was probably so tired because I was getting sick. My seizures are better too. I’m still having them but they are so little that you have to be holding me to know I’m having them. My eyes are also barely rolling back in my head when I have them. I still have a few hard ones during the day but no more than 10. We noticed a difference shortly after starting the supplements from the herbologist. We believe that if I wasn’t sick we would have seen an even more decrease. So this is fabulous news and we pray that this continues. I’m leaving you a picture of a typical keto meal. I eat this every morning for breakfast. It consist of eggs with cream and butter, applesauce with cinnamon, cream with water and one of my supplements, and my medicines. The hardest part about this diet is the medicine. Mommy started putting cinnamon in my applesauce and now I’m taking them better. Thank you so much for praying for me. I just know God is going to heal me. We will NEVER give up!!! It may take years, days, or weeks but we will keep fighting.

Frances Gay

Pray for Frances as she has some adjustments to her treatment.

Josh Hill

Josh Hill continues to battle his burns received in a gasoline explosion.  Pray for him as he goes through the painful recovery process.

From Frances Gay

Did you know that Josh Hill is in the burn unit at Baton Rouge General with burns on his face, arms and ankles….He was burned two weeks ago after the LSU /ULM game…    They were building a bonfire at his home and he poured what he thought was diesel on the fire but found out too late that it was gasoline……it exploded and burned him badly everywhere he had no clothes.     I think they are talking about skin grafts, but are waiting to see how he progresses.    His mother is Shannon DeBlanc Hill, married to Donald Hill one of the Hill twins.She is George’s  daughter and a good friend of Stephanie’s, my daughter.  They live east of Amite.   I didn’t see it on the Prayer Link and thought that you might add him to the list.    Stephanie went to see him last night and said the burns look really bad.    Josh is her oldest son.  She has two boys.

Carol Russell

Carol will be seeing a cardiologist today.  Pray the doctor will determine her problem and  be able to help her.

Harrell Sharkey

Pray for Harrell Sharkey as he prepares for double knee replacement Wednesday.

Lloyd Hayden

Pray for Lloyd and his family as he is hospitalized again.

The Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes have been delivered.  It was inspiring to meet people who took a week of vacation to be available to receive the shoeboxes from other churches.  I thank God for all who participated or will participate in any way to pack, ship, and deliver the shoeboxes.

For those interested, First Baptist Church of Amite is offering a free Thanksgiving dinner at 11:00 A.M. Thursday.  What a great ministry!

Travelers

Pray for all those who are traveling to be with family members this week.  Pray for safe travel and the making of good memories.

Thank-you for praying for these needs and other needs you may be aware of.  Your prayers are greatly appreciated!

Have a great Thanksgiving week!
